World Cup 2022 - Group F

Group F match thread

Thanks to my boss i can unexpectedly watch Canada Belgium today

Patriotism is not my cup of tea but now i am hyped as hell. Go Canada

Belgium is on a downward trajectory so you guys might do well. Expectations are low here.

Ah yes, it's been a while that you live in Belgium right ? With Venezuela and Italy not qualified do you root for them ? If yes then for the first time we are rivals today

Looking foward to seeing how crap Belgium is... seriously I believed the hype for so many yrs, now that they are all old can only see even worst performances... only positive is De Bruyne?

They got 3rd place in the last world cup. That's very much them living up to the hype.

Bad penalty kick, 30 cm away from the keeper

Yes I don't have a team for the WC, same as the last one. So I prefer Belgium. Last world cup I rooted for Croatia too, this one more for Uruguay.

Undeserved scoreline ffs

Canada looking good tbh, hard done by

Belgium have been terrible ffs

See what I mean? I been watching Belgium long enough to know, they kinda suck now, just too old...

Belgium vs Canada gave me PTSD of Peru vs Denmark a match I do not ever want to relive

I feel for my Canadians

It's not as in 1986 when we were sheeps in a lion's den, or before the 2022 competition started when we felt like impostors. It seems we have the level to at least compete in a World Cup and today is the most important match of our history

There is now pressure and rivalry, since our manager had the good idea to insult Croatia, we need to back it up and not only for standings

Spoiler:

Fun fact our keeper is actually croatian who grew up there til the age of 13

Did he really insult Croatia, or is this another case of sports journalists doing what they do best?

John Herdman (our coach) said in a post-game huddle that next match we are gonna fuck Croatia, and repeated it in front of journalists.

Croatia took offence, it's not very surprising the headline says something like "you have the mouth, but do you have the balls ?"

lmao Conetois

My God Belgium are SHIT

Belgium's golden generation is DONE

Way too out of form and over the hill

I love how KDB got motm last time around and he was basically like "how tf did i get this award, i was crap"

What a shambolic tournament for the devils, luckily for them Croatia doesnt seem too good either

What a spicy group. Hope we get a draw between Canada and Croatia for maximum match3 excitement

I normally do praise the Belgium team for their talented squad. However, they never showed the extent of their talents when it really mattered and remind me of England’s previous golden generation. They’ve won a bunch of international friendlies to get their rank but I’d expect them to play much better than the crap show they put on today

Morocco was the best team no doubt

Maybe we have zero chance after all and it was just Belgium being so sub-par from their expected level that gave us hope
