Belgium 3 - 0 Algeria
Brazil 2 - 0 Mexico
Russia 3 - 1 South Korea



Around the Network

Alright guys! It is time to talk about Belgium! I hope they'll win big time against Algeria (who have some good players too). I expect a 3-1 win at least in favor of what we perhaps can call the golden generation of Belgium. Their first big tournament but these players now how to handle pressure since a lot have dealt with that all thime in their clubs.

I see them as a big contender for the European Championships of 2016 (if everyone improves even more like Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku etc.) but for the World Cup I give them the underdog role for now.

My experience form yesterday.

Left work and got tot he pub, place was jammed pack full of people that by kick off they couldn't let anymore in and had a line around the block with people watching through the windows. The early goal was a blessing and a curse as we tended to sit back and applied minimal pressure. Not sure if we were fatigued, but look a bit listless and several players suffering strains and cramps (losing Altidore big hit). I knew we would give up a goal way we were playing, when it came place fell silent as a tomb.

Then Brooks headed in that goal and the sound was deafening with absolute bedlam of people jumping around and beer flying every where. The whole neighborhood was a sea of red, white and blue and people singing and high fiving.

It was a great experience even if we didn't have our best game we got the desperately needed result. I think Sunday will be even bigger crowds, which would have been unthinkable even a decade ago.

EC 2016 should be their goal.. think they are missing one or two attacking worldclass players.. While Hazard is great he needs to have one step more to come to a level like Robben. He'll be at that level in 2016.. then they have their chance.. and I also think Januzai will be a force to be recon with by then.. 2 years under van Gaal at ManU.. Also they are pretty new to playing in a big tournament so in 2016 they'll have the experience of this World Cup..

I can't wait for the rustled jimmies as soccer continues to grow in the US.

Exactly my thoughts. I hope Januzaj will increase dramatically with Van Gaal since that guy is just Ballon D'or material just like Hazard. Lukaku needs to go to another club that will give him the trust that Mourinho won't. 

Hazard, Januzaj, Lukaku, De Bruyne and Courtois have the potential to become legends. I don't know if we can consider Kompany already a legend at ManCity? But he'll still be at the top for at least another 5 years. And of course don't forget all the other players who are very good like Mertens, Vertonghen, Chadli, Dembele etc. 

Edit: With legend I mean legendary football players that have indeed the level of Pirlo, Robben, Drogba etc.
