Great Start Belgium. Mertens with a dirty fucking dive though.
I kinda get it if youre playing Brazil or Germany. Its Panama ffs no need to try and cheat to win
 
Not the best opening twenty minutes.

It seems like most of the 'underdogs' in this WC are employing the same shit house tactics that lower tier premier league teams do & just disrupting play constantly with niggling fouls.

Really spoils the game.
 
The ref has started this very fussy.
Sending off in this game I reckon
That's in direct response to what I was referring to now I think.

If it continues I think next week all refs will start carding to try to stop these minor fouls that only serve to break up play.
 
Good shot of Lukaku's Ralph Lauren boxer shorts there.

Whoever gave him them to wear from their PR team will be fucking chuffed with that shot then.
 
Belgium with all that talent and then Roberto Martinez as manager. It just doesnt add up.

*watch them win the WC now....
 
Watching this game in the office. Every time I look up Belgium look great but then fuck up the final ball. Am I right?

They're getting closer tbh, wouldn't say they look great but they're comfortable on the ball & hazard & de Bruyne look different class so keep opening the game up for them.
 
There's been a few decent saves today. Perhaps the keepers are auditioning for the Liverpool keeper's spot?
 
FFS guys.

Teams rarely look great in their first game in a WC.

These are international teams. They dont play together every week & take a little time to adjust to playing together again.

This is par for the course. I fully expect most sides to improve match on match as the tournament progresses.

Exactly. The first round of group games usually are pretty cagey. If anything I think this has been ok so far.
