I'm almost surprised when a shot from Belgium doesn't go in.

To an extent. Had McDermott actually won at Iowa State, sure, more fans would have been on board with him. However, fans would have been complaining about how boring the games are. For example, Wisconsin over the last couple of decades has won a lot in both football and basketball. All you ever hear about from ISU fans is how they can’t stand to watch their games because of how boring they are, how Wisconsin sets football/basketball back several decades, etc.

That doesn’t bother Wisconsin fans one bit.

My Brazilian ***** aunt is probably balling right now and with Germany out that makes me a Belgium bandwaggoner.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Wow, might be headed to an all-European semi-finals. When was the last time that happened?

 

[Rabbuk]

Why would that have been a penalty. He tackled on the ball.

I just read in the NYT Live Update article that Belgium has 2 goals on one shot. Lol.

accurate. For sure one shot on goal haha

Belgiums counter attack ability may be the best left in the tournament. It seems like every forward/middy know exactly where they need to be when an attack starts out on the break. Spacing, ball movement, and pace is top notch.

 

[srjclone]

Taking Lukaku out is gonna come back to bite Belgium in the ass, calling it.

 

[3TrueFans]

Cute that Neymar thinks he's still going to get the benefit of the doubt on those calls.

 

[harimad]

So, about two minutes left of stoppage time? Belgium up 2-1?

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Belgium's keeper is having a good day

Yeah he has. They needed him to pick it up, too. He hasn't been terrible, but certainly not at his best in the group stage

I am not a big soccer fan, watched my token match for the year....

I may not know what I am talking about but Belgium seems to be pretty good.

 

[CloneFan4]

Watching Brasil go out

Took Belgium at 12-1 to win it all. The wager lives on!

It’s kind of funny that I’ve been following (at a distance) England’s national team for about 20 years, and then my parents did. Ancestry DNA earlier this year and found out I’m actually English.

 

[IaState95]

France-Belgium will be a fantastic game. I think who ever wins this game will win the WC

 

[HFCS]

You won’t often see back to back goals of that quality.
