Why couldn't Tunisia this undisciplined at the back on Monday ffs

We missed our chances.

 

[Shadydan]

Think Belgium gonna struggle to break Tunisia down.

Great prediction m8

They were first half, England just don’t have the attacking quality of Belgium.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

France have the best team in this World Cup IMO. Neither team are well coached though.

They are both excellent teams and will both go deep into the tournament. But Belgium look better to me. They are really strong throughout and utterly ruthless. They were always going to win a major tournament when they clicked imo. I'm afraid they will be too strong for England on Thursday.

They said Chadli was coming on!! I readied myself for nothing!!

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Funny game. Belgium have looked very good going forward ( they have been helped by Tunisia though) particularly on the counter, but they do look vulnerable defensively too, Tunisia have had several good situations. Pretty typical Martinez team I guess.

Why isn't Vertonghen the actual captain? Hazard's such a weird choice

 

[Singaspursofsixspence]

Batshuayi is really bad shit

Two clear cut chances, one from point blank he can’t convert

Edit: third chance now

 

[Danners9]

Batshuayi is doing well at finding ways to avoid scoring!

 

[DiamondLites]

Forgot Belgium had Tielemans as well, that’s just not fair

 

[ostrov]

Very strong squad Belgium and unlike Euro-16 their game is much more organised and coherent. Martinez isn't Guardiola but better than Willmots as a coach and it shows.

 

[yankspurs]

Good ball from Tielemens that

 

[lukadownthelane]

Good job finishing second is a positive! Although I’m sure they’ll be a lot of rotation for the last game

 

[Danners9]

this is how England's game with Tunisia could have been if Lingard and Sterling could have finished the chances early on.

 

[Marty]

I only watched the last 30 minutes but it was certainly entertaining.

 

[fridgemagnet]

I'd have Batshit at Spurs, i think there's a lot of talent in there given the right coach.

 

[Mullers]

Belgium looked good much better than Brazil.

Ego, is my best guess. Same reason why Chelsea has made him captain in the past. He needs his ego rubbed in order to play well.

That's literally what I've heard from Belgian fans. He was shit for them so they gave him the captaincy to motivate him. If it works why not I guess. Kompany was captain and then Jan vice before that.
