Belgium completely being dominated by Croatia as expected... I wanna ask aged but when u see Modric who seems to defy logic at the same time Razz

But someone like Witsel who was great last WC is so slow nowadays its pretty sad to see, just as bad as Busquet n prolly worst... been like that for Dortmund Razz

Same with most of Belgium though... anyway, big hit of reputation for Roberto Martinez I think, the team really regressed badly.

Makes sense to me. Eden Hazard has been a shadow of himself at club level and even KDB seems to be less consistent this season. Modric may be older than most top players, but he certainly knows when to step up his game, and when to get away with looking his age. That might be the key to aging gracefully - conserve your energy for the few, notable games rather than pretending to be as fit and consistent as you were during your prime years.

Lukaku forever a donkey, omfg, how many chances missed already... just should just used Bashiayi?

Definitely... I think Modric should share his secret when he retires or something Im sure ppl n fellow professionals would love to know Razz

I mean hes looking physically better than legends like CR n Messi at his age or at least being able to run n dribble n be involved in games so much still, just amazing.

Yep thx, sometimes reading these brackets are confusing Razz

Unless Japan beat Spain or something which would be impossible Very Happy

I think ppl underrate Germany anyhow, they dont look great but still got so much quality... think its actually their backline n often Flick that hinders them strange to say...

Dont think Batshayayai was any better vs Morroco but Lakaka was hilarous to watch today. There is art in his donkeyness

Morocco are so unlucky. They finished without a loss above supposedly elite European sides only to (probably) land Germany in the next round Laughing

The exact same thing happened to them in 1986.

Roberto Martinez resigns, who will take over Belgium next?

Considering how Germany is playing I wouldn’t put it past them to win. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Germany ties Costa Rica and Japan goes through
