and oh yes do i remember that goal very well, can't believe it was 12 years ago. What a shit team Turkey is now. Ranked 40 i think, absolutely horrible the way we play now. I aint overreacting when I say todays Turkish team is on par with Azerbaijan in football quality. No wonder guys like Ozil and Ilkay Gundogan picked Germany over Turkey.Quote:

They play similar to most asian countries (especially the gulf nations) just run and run but very little technical play of ability to get in behind the defender. No where near as embarrassing in terms of play acting as the gulf nations are though. You haven't seen comedy until you see a Qatari player roll 30 metres after a tackle :lmao:
I think only cote d'Ivoire has a chance to make it out of the group. Sadly I can't see an asian country making it out of any group this time around unless japan go on a tear and Côte d'Ivoire slip up.

And you believe him? He's been attention whoring on here for years. That's why he makes ridiculous claims about teams winning and he's constantly wrong.
Looking forward to seeing Belgium play but I can't believe Wilmots didn't call up Nainggolan.
It's strange that Brazil and Mexico will play for a second time before Russia and Korea play for the first time lol how does that work?
Based on location and weather conditions. They try to play at the most suitable time based on the conditions.
Oh sorry I missed out yesterday... USA! USA!
When are my compatriots going to wake the eff up? The Belgians are playing much too slow!

Vertonghen fucked up, that foul was too obvious.
Wilmots has to rile the team up now during half time. I expect more, much more from these players.
Also, Dries Mertens needs to be put on the field for the second half. He's a good striker who moves swiftly.
The Algerians are doing what they are good at : defending well, and counterattacking really fast (well, it only happened two or three times). I have to say: the Algerians know what they're doing. My team doesn't seem to have a clue.
Fortunately the last five minutes of the first half were better than the first forty minutes.
For neutral viewers I'm afraid this is a very unengaging match. Sorry, guys.
The Belgians can still turn this around but they have to play much, much faster. Also, they shouldn't pass through the center of the field so often. They need to reach their wing players much more often, in order to put Lukaku, our striker, into position in front of the goal. We haven't seen many assists, that's symptomatic.
