I feel like I was watching a different game to everyone else. I thought Brazil were brilliant today.

i agree with you but what i mean is i felt they had plenty on the reserve tank—did not kill themselves to win, did not show all their cards, they can and will do much more

the way they absorbed pressure in the first half was brilliant

the way they attacked in 2nd half was calm and deliberate

then firmino the ace in the hole

poor mexico by comparison was spent

demonrail666 · 07.02.2018, 11:27 AM

Yeah, not perfect but it's the most convincing team performance I've seen so far.

I credit Mexico for having a go (especially in the 1st half) but the gulf in quality became increasingly evident.

_tunic_ · 07.02.2018, 12:18 PM

boohoohoo!!! Kompany is playing tonight instead of Boyata, and Boyata is in my team

No points, unless Kompany gets injured early and needs to be substituted. But let's not wish for that to happen

I'm listening to Mono from Japan, not sure if that's the right preparation when I'm supposed to be cheering for Belgium. Oh well

i think it was perfect! they did just what was necessary and no more

save the exhaustion for the belgium game.

(and belgium should do the same today. i think...)

Same, but given it's Kompany he'll probably break something pulling his socks up in the tunnel

!@#$%! · 07.02.2018, 01:05 PM

japan starts well, considering.

at this pace they will burn out soon but i appreciate heroics

demonrail666 · 07.02.2018, 01:21 PM

Lukaku's getting closer and closer

demonrail666 · 07.02.2018, 01:31 PM

Japan having a go. Belgium's defence don't like defending.

_tunic_ · 07.02.2018, 01:51 PM

ouch that was close! Japan nearly nearly scored in 43th minute if the ball would have rolled quicker towards the goal

!@#$%! · 07.02.2018, 02:00 PM

and closer and closer and closer...

but it’s like achilles and the turtle! XD

demonrail666 · 07.02.2018, 02:06 PM

Holy fuck

!@#$%! · 07.02.2018, 02:06 PM

Hoooleeee Shitnuts

_tunic_ · 07.02.2018, 02:10 PM

i think having more options than “all balls to lukaku” is working for belgium

!@#$%! · 07.02.2018, 02:49 PM
