Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Belgian XI has Hazard, Kompany, Vertonghen, Fellaini, Dembele... could do some damage In theory they should but they are complete bottle jobs and their best striker is currently in Chelsea's reserves They are packed with talent everywhere accept fullback and striker but unfortunately for them those are very important positions. In anycase your right they could and quite frankly should do some damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Australia v Denmark is a pretty shit game. No intensity from either side. Australia playing a counter-attacking game, had a few chances. But they aren't exciting. Seriously doubting whether we will qualify for the world cup with a group involving japan, jordan, oman and iraq. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 How come Belgium didn't qualify? They have a better squad than a few teams in the Euros, Ireland for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 How come Belgium didn't qualify? They have a better squad than a few teams in the Euros, Ireland for one. The team has bonding issues. Country is split into German, Dutch and French speaking areas. Which has caused a divide within the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and they are major chokers...... having no fullbacks and striker doesnt help much either although playing Hazard in a fake 9 role could help solve one of those issues.

ponsaelius Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Probably one for Disco but how come Sky dropped their coverage of South American qualifying? Some of the most high quality and competitive football played anywhere on the planet in that, even without Brazil this time round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Probably one for Disco but how come Sky dropped their coverage of South American qualifying? Some of the most high quality and competitive football played anywhere on the planet in that, even without Brazil this time round. Didn't know they had it anyway tbh. Agree on the quality thing though, even as owt at the moment. Venezuela to make their debut in Brazil? Most improved national team by a mile over the last decade.

ponsaelius Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yeah was just gonna say I think Venezuela will make it this time. 5th placed play-off plays an Asian side this time around, daft. Oceania vs Concacaf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Just watched Boliva Chile, 0-2 in the end. Could easily have been 4-4 though, great game to watch. End to end non stop attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had it for the last two for sure. Stayed up to watch Palermo's goal and Maradona's kneeslide. Seems like a lifetime ago. Given that ESPN seem to show it in South/North America you'd think they could wangle some coverage over here. Probably just isn't the market for it though unfortunately. The recent coverage of the Copa America being a key example. Just watched Boliva Chile, 0-2 in the end. Could easily have been 4-4 though, great game to watch. End to end non stop attack. Massive win for Chile, were getting dicked the part of the first half I watched, to win in La Paz is impressive regardless of how shit Bolivia are.

ponsaelius Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Aye, the Copa America was poor last year which didn't help. Qualifying tends to be really competitive and interesting though, although the lack of Brazil does take away from it a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
