PBP Thread: Match #29, Belgium vs. Tunisia, 23 June 2018 [R]

I’ll take my chances with a defense that has Toby Alderweld on it

 

Tielemans in
Just way too much quality in this Belgium squad
Impressive

 

Quality. And Fellani.

 

Huh?

What is that occasional camera view through a "rain" storm? Looks really sunny all over the field. I'm guessing some sort of fountain.

 

There it is. In the back of the old onion bag.

 

Weather conspiracies incoming. Blast from the past.

 

Batshuayi gets his goal!

 

North South East and West should be no difference and you should have no preference.
If you chose one over the other it shows me prejudice.
(Just pulling your leg. )

 

Batshuyi is having a Lukaku 2014 type day

 

Even though they are scoring against Tunisia I question them against a real top opponent.

 

See what I mean?

 

Tunisia gets a second.

 

5-2!

 

5-2, fantastic match.

 

All favourites played so far just for a result. Belguim wants to prove something. That's the difference.

 

They're not really defending.

 

Khazei is superb at times, but doesn’t have attacking partners of anywhere near the same level.

 

haha yada yada
I didnt mean anything negative with that and i know you know that

 

Belgium is NOT a dark horse. They are, however, a minnow country with the Golden Generation to end all Golden Generations.

They entered the tournament with credible chances to win it all.

 

Their qualification system is a mess.

 

That Left Back for Tunisia is the worst player i have ever seen so far in the WC , can't believe he got to play again after his disastrous performance in the first game WTF , is he related to the coach ? ( they both have the same last name )

 

Tunisia is not the test, England will be that.

 

Belgium lived up to their billings of one of the favourites, while Tunisia played a spirited game against a superior opponent

 

Arab teams so far

8 games played, 0 Wins, 0 Draw, 8 Losses

4 Goals scored, 19 conceded
