Re: World Cup 2018 General Discussion

by Mr Nick09 Mon May 21, 2018 3:02 pm

It's not different, because that's when the manager is reviewing what he has on hands, what works and what does not work for him, the way he wants to play, players personalities. I dont have any insight into the Beldium squad but Martinez has never liked Nainggolan that much, and it showed in how often he relied on him during the qualifiers.

and what is failure for Belgium? not winning?

I think going to the quarter finals is their expectation, semi finals their ceiling, or at least taking out a big nation in 1v1 will make their campaign successful.

Belgian FA are facing huge backlash from the fans for dropping Nainggolan. So much so that the Belgian FA even had to release an official statement.

Even some Belgian players have come out said they're disappointed that Nainggolan wasn't included. Even Fellaini ffs , the guy whom Radja will be competing fkr a spot for.

But hey it doesn't matter though....

Martinez is a massive melt. There's no other way to put it.

So hyped for this ffs

dont give a f**k about this now tbh.

Yea you shouldn't coz England isn't very good.

by Firenze Sun May 27, 2018 12:16 am

I'll get a lot more hyped when it starts but I've said it before, England are the worst i've seen in my lifetime and I expect nothing from them. But it'll be nice to watch during the summer post-season, chilling with a cold one in the evenings. Just want to see some good football and a few surprises.

We need to get some community World Cup games going. Either a fantasy league, a prediction game or one of those games where you get randomly assigned a national team. With some sort of plebby forum prize to the winner, like a special snowflake title under their name IMO. That's been the kinda stuff I've seen on other forums in previous years. Just a little something to add an extra excitement factor. I always liked the one where you get randomly assigned a team and the prediction game the most.

by Zagadka Wed May 30, 2018 6:22 pm

Anyone, other than me, going ??

Would like to meet some of the characters here, but I suspect the very low average age of posters will mean they aren't financially independent and strong enough to attend.

I'm flying out next week.

by Warrior Wed May 30, 2018 6:31 pm

Rincon is going i think

I was about to subscribe for tickets as well but i can't own a credit card

Maybe it's better for my wallet after all, a short trip in Russia costs my salary for 3 weeks Laughing

by Myesyats Wed May 30, 2018 6:35 pm

No time, I got finals at uni during the WC but either way I don't fancy going to Russia tbh
