Well, hello ladies.

International teams usually are poo poo. Rarely do they have any chemistry or discipline that you see in the big European club teams. Belgium is a great example, it's filled with amazing and talented club players but as a unit they are less than impressive. Added to that these players just came off a 9 month season with many playing at the very highest levels. So by the time the world cup rolls around these guys are half broken or mentally fatigued.

I can't wait for 2022 when the doping is even better and the players are even more broken and then they get to play in Qatar op it's going to be great

He's a visionary, as proven in that movie about FIFA that most certainly wasn't funded by FIFA, nor did he have any control over the script, no sir, just a visionary, and please ignore the fancy watch I'm wearing.

Yeah I'm starting to wish for 3-0 after penalties, maybe if the Swiss manage to pull this off a second time we can all finally come together and ban them as a team and as a country.
