can belgium win the world cup? +1400

[romanowski]

Belgium beats Argentina easy...

but who wins Belgium vs Holland?

thanks for the laughs

[SportsMushroom]

thanks for the laughs

argentina not that good of a team, yes they have a lot of history which makes them a great team, but they havent done shit in the last 25 years

only thing they got going for them is the fact that this game is being played in their back yard, and even that might not be that big of an advantage, local fans will probably be rooting for belgium because of the brazil-argentina rivalry, and as for the weather, most of these players all play in europe, so they are accustomed to the same type of weather

Neither is going to make easy work of the other but Argentina will advance imo. They haven't gone past quarters since 1990, but with very good teams that underachieved.

yes, as you said, underachieving, its a state of mind, they have developed a loser mentality which is hard to shake

maybe they advance, but the odds suggest that books arent showing them any love

[senser]

Are you crazy. Belgium???? Hahahahahhahahaha you know nothing about soccer. Argentina +450 all in.

Well, it's funny you say they know nothing about soccer, while you clearly don't know it yourself.
I'm pretty sure you still live in Argentina and not in Europe?

At least you're coach is more clever, because they intend to put defensive midfielder Demichilis in the starting squad against Belgium to have a more defensive midfield. So far for the 'ooooeeh all the other teams played with shit in their pants". Looks like this time you are the ones playing with "poop". But I really hope that you guys attack like against the other teams, that is when Belgium gets space and the last thing you want, is to give them space. You're goalkeeper is far from as good as Howard, and your defense is a joke. So if you want to get that 3-0 victory I would suggest you think of a better tactic than "blindly attacking and give all the balls to messi". But sadly you"re not the coach , so it isn't gonna be that easy for us.

[homie1975]

Great fukken pick regardless of what happens. Belgium is a great fukken squad

[FrenchTranslat°]

no, brasil/france/germany > belgium

[Sawyer]

Belgium can beat Argentina but i'm afraid Holland will be too much for them.
Belgium squad is promising for future. They're too young now.

i have noticed that Colombia and Argentina fans seem to pack the first level of the stadium for almost all the games those teams play. When Di Maria scored the winning goal against Swiss there was a very loud eruption of crowd noise.

[Big Bear]

but to this point its fair to say that neither Belgium or Argentina have accomplished anything that wasnt expected by them.

Both teams won fairly weak groups and won fairly favorable round of 16 matchups.

I see football 24 hours a day. I can assure you the second time against Switzerland Argentina was great. European teams come to America to hang onto the crossbar. Argentina's defense is very good, is entering tuning, the problem is that the South American teams have few previous matches together. Do not be put off by low-scoring results, thinking beyond that.

[Big Bear]

yes Argentina has been pretty good on defense so far.

Romero has held his own too.

The football genius Senser. Howard better than Romero? (When and Where was the Goalkeepers Award?) I would like to know on which he relies to say that? Belgium kick on goal 18 times and got two goals. Belgium against Argentina will kick 3 or 4 times.

I know you're from belgium. I pity you think you have a minimal chance to go round. Hahahahaha. You'll see the stadium full of people from Argentina, Hazard and Fellaini are going to poop in his pants.

[senser]

Pretty funny how you find Romero to be great. He played for AZ and the Dutch press really laughed at him. They can't understand Argentina doesn't have a better goalkeeper than that. I also can't believe you find your defense to be good, while it was outplayed by Iran. If they played more offensively, you would have lost.
Maybe you watch 24hr of south american football , but deff not European.

Als pretty laughable that the stadium will be supporting Argentina, while all Brazilians will be supporting Belgium.

[Goat Milk]

There's no team left in the tournament that's going to give argentina problems. They're way to experienced for Belgium. They won't have trouble there. I predicted a Germany ARgentina finals from the start in my germany thread and i will stick to that prediction. The Dutch are a great team but they can be exposed on the counter and ARgentina is simply too fast in that respect. The Dutch have such a dominant big 3 though that you can never count them out.

And remember when I said the Dutch would be in the finals 4 years ago lakerman when no one gave them a chance to beat Brazil and others? They are the same team as 4 years ago.

Belgium doesn't know how to deal with offensive pressure. That's what ARgentina is gonna do to them. It'll be an open game with lots of opportunities but I think Messi will find the back of the net twice, if not a hatrick in this game. He keeps the ball low always and that's tough on a tall keeper.

We'll see what happens. None of the teams this year are very strong like they were a decade ago, when all the powerhouse teams were stacked.

But yeah, I don't think Belgium can beat ARgentina without being able to control possession and the midfield, which is the key to beating Argentina. No team left in the tournament can do that imo with possibly the Germans.

Hahahahaha you need the brazilians to support your team. Tomorrow after 2 p.m. you will disappear from the site. Bye Bye Hazard, Fellaini, Kompany. Just average and boring europe players.

Would be even more funny to win now, because you're the one who can't come back than .
I'm just saying we have a clear 50-50 shot, you're the one with the big mouth spewing crap, while I'm just stating facts.

Good luck, you'll need it more than you think.

[Cuse0323]

Ah shit, Goat has spoken. Was gonna say can Belgium win the next game but damn, looks like it now.

[Pauulzcappin]

Argentina in regulation at + money looks good.

[trendon]

no, brasil/france/germany > belgium

It's amusing to see people post so assuredly almost a year after the initial post. I can just see them as they hit reply, "OH NO! WHAT AN IDIOT!"

Most of you saw the initial post date; some haven't. And it is hilarious.

1-0

[Mac4Lyfe]

I entered some contest where me and several other people were assigned teams to win the cup. I got Belgium which will pay $5,000 if they win it all. They've really looked like shit the entire tourney thus far. Very underachieving and acting like they really don't give a shit. I'm hoping they can tie this up but I doubt it.

[jayc88]

Its funny there were so many People who gave Belgium a Shot to win it all lol

[StackinGreen]

It could Lakerboy effect, but Belgium looks slightly better, although Messi is a force

Fluke bounce and burial buy Higuain, credit where it's due, but that was a gift bounce

[showtiime]

messi hasn't scored on courtois (the belgium keeper) in 7 consecutive matches.

even if he scores today it will have absolutely nothing to do with their respective heights.

[crustyme]

dont worry hes got other teams winning it all also. just like when he had 20 teams winning the super bowl last season.

[pavyracer]

Can Belgium win the World Cup if they lose today? Not familiar with soccer rules.

[Pauulzcappin]

Argentina in regulation at + money looks good.

BRASIL, DICEME QUE SE SIENTE

TENER EM CASA SU PAPA

[TonyTall]

apparently not cause you are 4-15 in your world cup thread. this after continuosly telling posters they know nothing about soccer and that you are an expert lol

[Vaughany]

Belgiums lack of experience will probably be their downfall...showed last night again by conceding two late goals. Also got overrated benteke up front

[MickeyMan]

dont worry hes got other teams winning it all also. just like when he had 20 teams winning the super bowl last season.

What are you going to do when there are no more pending lakerboy threads for you to jerk off to??

[Big Bear]

Fakerboy take that Belgium ticket and eat use it to roll your self a fat doobie

[ChiLLx]

Looks like Belgium cannot win the world cup.
