Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
I don’t believe it, just five minutes before that penalty save I said to the missus, if it goes to penalties you would want Schmeichel between the sticks. 
It was like watching England, some very poor penalties in that batch.

Your fears were well founded Jim.

Practising penalties is all well and good but it does not nowhere near replicate the scenario of real time match pressure.

Disgraceful histrionics from Neymar yet again and now he is up running around the pitch like nothing happened..

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil always looked likely winners, Mexico ran out of steam and for all their swift transition from defence to attack I can't remember Brazil's keeper making a save, toothless v ruthless finishing in the end.
Brazil v Belgium should be interesting, Japan notwithstanding.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Is that the same Courtois who was slagging off Jordan Pickford.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Refs gotta get the holding under control, they're doing literally anything to stop Belgium advancing forward with the ball. Dish out cards.

The 30 million quid pot noodle scored.
Still though, signs these supposed top teams can be had at. A full strength England would absolutely take Belgium to the sword. Its the small teams I worry about with England.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Japan's passing is actually really intricate and surprisingly good. They've got no quarrels in close passing in tight situations.

Fellaini looks like he's due to fight Conor McGregor for the lightweight title in the fall.

Gutted for them. Absolutely gave it everything.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
They deserved better as Belgium resorted to one of Jose's favourite Tactics to get them out of this mess....
