Neymar sold it melodramatically but you can't step on people like that. Layun knew exactly what he was doing.

Re: Belgium vs. Japan, even if Belgium can win this (2-2 as I post this), holy sugarplums they are abysmal defensively. A team like Brazil or France on all cylinders could score 5 against this team. (It'll be more fun if Japan win, though.)
Argentina did put 3 past France though.

Don't be sad, Japan. You've already won the World Cup: in Germany in 2011. 🤣

And? I never said anything about Belgium scoring against those teams, in fact I think they probably would, but the way Martinez is setting them up basically guarantees a plethora of chances for whoever they're playing against. Japan and Tunisia were each able to score 2, a better team (such as the one they're playing next) will punish this naivety even more.

Anyway, crushing for Japan, but no one predicted them even getting out of the group. They can be happy with how they did overall.

Damn it. I wanted Japan to pull the upset and beat Belgium.

Japan played very well and they should be proud of their performance. They just didn't have the height or physicality of the Belgians.

I hope Brazil beats Belgium though.

The Brazilian team's height is about the same as Japan.
Not really true but anyways Brazil has the physicality to match the Belgians.

et pour les flamands, la même chose

Anyway, Swiss TV leading this morning with the delightfully optimistic headline "Switzerland has never scored in a second round match before"

At least some things stay the same.

Which means we'll probably choke in a few hours.

Here's to hoping Sweden win the World Cup, causing a wave of nationalism that pushes SD over the line to come first and AfS to reach the threshold Smiley

For all the Sweden Yes memes, the Swedish squad is surprisingly Swedish.
