Onderwerp: WORLD CUP 2018 (LİVE İT UP)
And people were laughing at messi and cr7 xd. Neymar cant win even with the best team.
Yes,Brazil is out with their big baby Neymar!!!they asked for 5 penaltys w Belgium,just play the game..
Really very fair result, as the image shows, Brazil is not made of Neymar, as Argentina depends on Messi, CR7 Portugal and Lebron USA ... sorry ops, we have Coutinho, D. Costa, Marcelo, Firmino, G. Jesus, but to do what we have bad luck, we had a chance to kill the game and we did not kill, we took 2 shots on goal and we took 2 goals, merits of Belgium, which in my opniao is the favorite to win the cup, and the twisted monster now to Belgium, and us? we will continue in the search for the 6 star that is not for anyone until the next cup! Let's go Belgium!
Brazil was the better team, definitely.
Belgium was lucky with their first goal which put them in a very comfortable position. During the rest of the first half they did some very good countering and Brazil was really underperforming. In the second half Brazil really gave it their best and the only thing Belgium could do, was defend. Brazil did not create many 100% chances, but they were very dangerous nonetheless and they could definitely have scored multiple times during that second half. We were very lucky with our good GK, some great defending and also with the fact that the ref did not give a penalty (although it was definitely not a 100%-penalty).
This was definitely not a bad Brazil.

Yeah, Brazil should have won it probably.
But Hazard was a monster in the second half. The amount of balls (literally) he kept under high pressure, always giving his team a breath. Insane. Still, Belgium are conceding too many chances for my liking. Their counter attacks though..
I'd give France the edge in the semis, but whoever scores first wins I guess.

There is an important statistic missing there:
Goals:
1-2
And I don't mean it as trolling. I honestly thing goals are underrated these days. We measure all sort of things that "should correlate with" scoring more goals than the opponent, and forget about the actual goals scored, which is a very important ability to have.
We look at passes, which may as well be an infinite series of passes between the keeper and a defender, but we don't look at defensive skills. Like clearing balls instead of putting them inside your own net. Or like a keeper blocking every shot on target no matter how hard. We compute merits as if enough "almost goals" should add up to a full goal at some point. But stopping at "almost goal" instead of actually scoring a goal is a very fair reason for a victory in football in my view.
Otherwise, at this point Argentina should have one title or another, and Higuaín should be golden boot :P
I do think Brazil is an overall superior team to Belgium. But that sort of "abstract" superiority matters more for long, league-type tournaments, where good and bad days offset each other in the long run. Instead, World Cups and knock-out stages are built on the epic of the do-or-die moments and the constant threat of a David vs Goliath story. Dealing with the circumstances and reacting to accidental events is part of what it takes to survive another round.
A few days ago this same Belgium was 2-0 down against Japan. A risky decision by Japan and a perfectly executed counterattack prevented an extra time of uncertain outcome. These tournaments are made of such small moments.

I partially agree.
I would point my attention to precision and details.
One of the biggest difference between belgium and brasil yesterday was... that De bruyne shot was perfect and neymar shots was a little too much central.
Those kind of differences (20cm? maybe less..) are what it really make the chance to become a goal..
and this is not casual, this is where you measure the players skills.
