Over Lukaku too Honestly, I think Belgium are mental for not taking Divock Origi. Yeah, he's not the best striker in the world and never really lived up to his promise after that bad injury he got... but he's got an absolute killer instinct in the box and doesn't really ever seem to let big occasions get to him. Seems like a handy player to have come off the bench for a country in the world cup... but that's beside the point. But... idk how he's starting over Lukaku or Doku. Although honestly, I don't think Martinez is all that as a manager - I honestly think he's a bit lucky Belgium have persisted with him for so long. They can point to him being their best manager, but this is also a period where Belgium have had more world class players than most countries... I think they could have made an upgrade at some point in his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 1,310 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Should've had a second penalty. Canada playing much, much better than Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2022 Batshuayi not shit there! 1-0 Belgium! Harsh on Canada but they didn't take their chances when they were on top. Route one from Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnersaurus 200 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Canada were the better side. I still think Belgium will get out the group but they look disjointed and the players were arguing so not sure if they will go much further. Definitely wouldn't fancy them against Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,310 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hope Canada can keep playing like that in the 2nd half but they need to take their chances. Belgium's defence playing like shit. Clinical finish from Batshuayi but Belgium have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for them to keep it up but when teams play with high intensity they usually go a bit slower after 60-65 mins. But it's only 1-0 so they're definitely still in the game! Not seen De Bruyne have such a poor game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,204 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Belgium have a couple of world stars but away from that this is a very average side that bigger sides shouldn’t be too concerned with. They seem very similar to England imo, we probably have more depth in the forward lines though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I applaud how Canada have taken the game to Belgium but there is no composure in the final third. Saw it yesterday with Mexico, and with Japan earlier till they brought on Mitoma. He showed what making the right decision in the ball does. All it takes is a bit of thought to produce real quality, usually from the players who are at a high level club wise. Belgium have massively got away with one here so far though. They wouldn't worry me at all. Sad to see how far Hazard has fallen and it's no shock it's all on De Bruyne to play well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
