Belgium v Algeria (Group H) Tuesday 17th June 2014

[Voley]

Hope this gives Belgium a kick up the arse now.

 

[inva]

might spur Belgium into action a bit...

 

[juice_terry]

let's hope so

 

[Lo Siento.]

This is gonna be England v Costa Rica

 

[Lord Camomile]

I bet there are more than a few 'Grand National' punters giving dirty looks to their betting slips right about now

 

[Lord Camomile]

Has the ref put down a mountain of that spray?! His squirter must be broken

 

[Badgers]

Not going to plan so far..

 

[Lo Siento.]

Algeria have been very good at putting pressure on the ball. Belgium short on movement

 

[Silva]

Belgium not looking good at all. Look out of ideas, and it's not like they had one to begin with.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Wouldn't write them off just yet...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Belgium short on movement

That always surprises me; you'd think at this level they'd know that what you do off the ball is almost as important as what you do on the ball.

I could be a TV pundit with insight like that

better than savage anyway

 

[goldenecitrone]

Loving the Algerian praying to Mecca goal celebration. Did they get the direction right?

 

[JimW]

If he ever gets a transfer to the Black Country he could be Kompany of Wolves.

 

[editor]

There's an awful lot of players hitting the deck at the moment.

 

[strung out]

Belgium are the hipsters choice this World Cup, aren't they?

 

[Lo Siento.]

Heh, all those years of having shit players and overachieving by being well organised and playing as a team, now they've got great players and play like strangers

 

[big eejit]

Nice work Fella!

 

[JimW]

Arse

 

[editor]

Nicely taken.

 

[BlackArab]

Was just about to post a comment mocking Belgians golden generation, oh well

Not enough beards, surely?

 

[Corax]

Fellaini's looking a completely different player to his Man U performances. Motivation (man management), or system and role?

 

[strung out]

Not enough beards, surely?

Well I meant in terms of people tipping a traditionally unfashionable country for success, but if we're talking about hipster footballers, then look no further than Portugal's Raul Meireles:

Canteen Man. (bristol joke)

 

[big eejit]

Suck on ee!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Deceptively good pass to put Mertens in.

 

[JimW]

Both arse cheeks. But great goal again.

 

[Corax]

The Algerian keeper's looked impressive I think. On this form would be a good signing for a lower prem team, or back up for one of the bigger boys. Looking at his transfer record I doubt he'd cost much too.

I hated that. Footballers and their bastard religious goal celebrations.
