You're Dutch. Why wouldn't you want to play against Belgium?

I was thinking that it would be a dream semi final for both countries...?

Because I feel Argentina is easier to beat than Belgium.

EDIT: 10 pages late lol.

 

[Nemesis121]

They have been pretty consistent and have had more chances then Belgium even post gol. I wouldn't call it a let off by Argentina.

Belgium looking a bit like Colombia shook by that early goal..

 

[KingSnake]

Belgium was until half time still in the logic from the start of the game. Whenever an Argentinian has the ball in their half there are 8 Belgians in 2 defensive lines. To defend against 3 Argentinians.

 

[Arjen]

I can still see Belgium scoring. Argentina is looking a lot better then in previous matches though.

 

[NaM]

Poor fideo

 

[WonkyPanda]

I have to say, ksharp's goal post moving is compelling.

First it's a dive.
Then Messi is waifish.
Then the officiating should be like yesterday.

What's next?

Just don't feed them. I

 

[OriginalThinking]

That's the exact logic utilised in court, btw.

Let's agree to disagree, shall we?

Yeah except this isn't a court, it's a football match. But keep on digging that hole even deeper.

Well if this was a court of law, that would make sense.

 

[phaze]

Argentina didn't show much but Belgium were no better, hope the result stays as it is.

Also Wilmots got old.

I kind of feel sorry for him now, everyone will remember his name and the fact that he's not very bright. All he had to do was admit he got it wrong.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Argentina really killing time after that goal , hope the pace pick up better next half .

How? Argentina has had clear control for the most part.

 

[Addi]

Is it the time of the games (13.00 local time) that make teams sucky?

 

[Zoned]

waffles are garbage

USA would've put on an entertaining show than this snoozefest

US team sucked donkey balls for 90 MINUTES against Belgium

 

[Tragicomedy]

People to never listen to in a football thread: ksharp.

 

[Tecl0n]

none of the commentators seem to know the difference between witsel and fellaini. lol

 

[GQman2121]

Black-ish? What the fuck ABC.....

There's nothing funnier than a black person telling another black person that they're not really black. :|

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I agree. That did not deserve a free kick though. Every time Messi sneezes, there's either a booking or at least a free kick

There was 4 seperate contacts, that absolutely was a free kick and my money is foolishly on belgium

 

[BronsonLee]

ksharp? More like kdull DOHOHOHOOOHOHO

Spoiler

Please don't kill me

I liked the first half. Good bit of a fun. Messi should make sure he still has his wallet after that mugging though

 

[DukeBobby]

Fucking Belgium. They've been terrible so far.

Once again, the team I'm rooting for are losing. So, umm, come on Netherlands!

He is clearly a newbie to the sport, and making up things which don't make any sense.

 

[Talon]

The back four is just so poor, though, I have a hard time seeing them keep track of Robben and Van Persie. Macherano can't do everything himself.

show looks incredible

"tell my ass!"

I also put money on Belgium, damn.

 

[BronsonLee]

Or he just hates Messi as much as that gaffer who hates Ronaldo, even when Ronaldo is paying for some kid's surgery

I also put money on Belgium, damn.

AND NOW THE TRUTH HAS ARRIVED

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Definitely. Kicked and stepped on.

 

[Nemesis121]

I agree. That did not deserve a free kick though. Every time Messi sneezes, there's either a booking or at least a free kick

Did you not watch the replay? showed at least 3 Belgian's hacking away at Messi leg and missing the ball, if they actually played the ball then i can see your point..

Court of law, bro.

Objection. Calls for speculation.

Boom.

 

[pompidu]

espn is not streaming the game, someone have a link?

 

[QuicheFontaine]

That's the exact logic utilised in court, btw.

Let's agree to disagree, shall we?

Lol, I pre-empted that!

Yeah, previous games aren't like "case law" mate

Anyway, I'm getting the impression you're just trolling now so I'll let it go

 

[Fireblend]

Hoping Belgium equalizes soon so we at least have a more exciting game.

 

[Talon]

I also put money on Belgium, damn.

The truth comes out.

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

I expect Argentina this second half to show a lot more energy. They are usually laid back the first half so they can save up for the second when usually the other team is already getting tired.

I also expect Belgium to fall back to bus parking like every other team has done against Argentina.

 

[Error]

these teams are gonna get tired as fuck at the second half.

 

[Divius]

Belgium needs to get a goal in asap to break this game open.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Neymar on a bed in a chopper.

I expect exactly the opposite. Argentina will park the bus and Belgium will attack. This Belgium doesn't park the bus, especially if they are behind.

 

[spekkeh]

Good. If Netherlands goes on and Belgium has to go down, at least I hope they're taking Messi down with em.

 

[Zoned]

Belgium Yes. Argentina No.

I don't know what your ISP is but for me(verizon) they are streaming..

 

[LiK]

that trombone guy won't get excited.

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

They can't afford to go on an all out attack on Argentina. Argentina puts too much pressure for that, of they try Argentina will counter heavily like they have already shown to do.

 

[Zoned]

Anyone have an idea about Aguero's injury? heard, it's pretty serious.

 

[Kensuke]

Belgium Yes. Argentina No.

Belgium is one of the fittest teams in the cup. Didn't you see the USA game?

They can't afford to go on an all out attack on Argentina. Argentina puts too much pressure for that, of they try Argentina will counter heavily like they have already shown to do.

Not all out attack, but they'll certainly play more offensively. Argentina pressure will diminish as the match goes on, but as you say, they could score from a counter.

 

[cilonen]

Dear Apple: stop playing the 'chicken fat' advert in World Cup ad breaks. One more time and I'm buying the Galaxy Note 4 when it comes out.

If you have a valid ISP then it works. Watch ESPN is amazing.

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Thought I heard that he might make it to the final if Argentina makes it.

Took my a while to find the espn link but I found it. Thanks though.

If you have a valid ISP then it works. Watch ESPN is amazing.

Went to the espn.com and couldnt find it on their. Had to google it and I found the link. Time Warner so I know its good.

what a sausage fest on that beach
