You could give Concacafnada a full penalty shootout against Courtois and they’d still score zero goals tbh

The Belgian backline didn't exist outside of Courtois

I dunno I guess I look at it as preventing chances is a group effort, when I compliment the Belgian backline it's because they cleaned up alot basically every 2nd chance oppurtunity off a rebound or deflected ball and they fouled up Canada enough that despite all the looks at the Belgium net only like.. 2 or 3 of them had any chance of troubling Courtois. To me Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Dendoncker were very good when they had the chance to impact the play.

No idea how much you watch football normally, but if a defender is making a block or a tackle or some other heroic looking thing, actual defending has gone wrong somewhere.

the thing you can credit the belgian defence for: forcing Canada into low-percentage shots by defending deep (because they are old and slow)

the thing you should not credit the belgian defence for: allowing nine billion shots in the first place

I mean ngl the scoreline hurts but for the first wc game in 13316 days, not gonna complain about how they played.


Now always give the penalties to David going forward like a good superstar Davies.


Also lol Estaquio clowned on De Bruyne didnt have that on my bingo card


Could have been worse *looks at Costa Rica*

Davies isn't a defender though, he just plays there for Bayern because they're so stacked they don't need a stout defender there.

Yeah he's not a PK taker either, especially when you have David who does these for Lille. It was a mistake and one we hopefully don't look back on as we exit the group.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
