November 21, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, Napoleon said: Iranian keeper has to have a broken nose. Probably a concussion too. England is tall AND fast. Iran 🇮🇷 is probably going to switch keepers. What a fucking bummer for the Iranian #1. He lasts about 9 minutes, if that. Less than that. The keeper smashed his face on his teammate’s forehead with 7:15 on the game clock. He wants to stay in, but he had to change his kit. His nose is huge… even without the smack. The restart came at 15;38. Hey man I usually consider lasting 9 minutes a resounding success.
November 21, 20223 yr Netherlands are by far the best team without a WC title. Who is 2nd on that list?

November 21, 20223 yr 5 minutes ago, Captain Ron said: Belgium, and I'm not sure that isn't a 1/1A thing. Netherlands is definitely 1. They have 3 runner ups and a Euro. Belgium has one 3rd place and a Euro runner up.
November 21, 20223 yr I've been out on the Dutch every since that disgraceful 2010 final. Let's go Senegal!

Belgium has their golden generation right now and have been really good, just not able to put it together. I'm not the history buff you are.

They just haven't had a good history at the WC - but they do have a Euro.
November 21, 20223 yr Is this COVID spacing in the stands? The attendance is maybe 50%. I have never seen such shitty attendance at a World Cup.
November 21, 20223 yr Honestly - Mexico is near the top of that list. But they haven’t had good history at the WC either.

November 21, 20223 yr Fair. Belgium has their golden generation right now and have been really good, just not able to put it together. I'm not the history buff you are.I’ve got Sweden behind Holland. 1 runner up and 2 Third Place finishes.

November 21, 20223 yr Author How did the Netherlands bottle that?!?!? They didn't even get a shot off!!
November 21, 20223 yr Needed to take that shot and either beat the keeper or generate a save that can be put away by the guys in the middle.
