The fumble would have been offside
This team in red with Lukaku up top playing a team that just sits back and packs it in reminds me of another team in red with Lukaku up top playing teams that just sit back and pack it in.
That is sort of what I am thinking. Just test this keeper some. He might make a mistake. Right now they are not really even making him work. At least once or twice and maybe get lucky with a bounce. Who knows. There is a reason I do what i do and they do what they doPatAg said:There is a real tendency with teams to some what "play for the perfect goal" which is what you are describing. That's not a bad thing to do, but you do need to test the keeper from range as well if it's not working.planoaggie123 said:
i am not very technical when it comes to this sport and I admit it but seems like maybe Belgium's best chance might be an opening from just outside the box vs trying to feed it within 5 yards of the box
What game are you watching? Japan pressed for 30 or so minutes than sat back to save energy. That is pretty routine.
Belgium's team is inherently flawed in the defensive 3rd. They have 3 very good CBs but 2 of the 3 are slow. Then they don't have a legit LB/LWB so they are playing an offensive minded player on that side that seldom comes back on D.mathguy86 said:

Dude
Good grief thats awful defending. And like the third time thats happened.
blasted off the woodwork
And on cue they attack the slow LCB with no support from a LWB and score the opener.

We have significant pauses in the WC broadcast from Fox station in Nashville. Is anyone else having this problem?
Has been out since just after second half started.
Just came on. Then went off again.

silver lining, they gave up thge goals in the first 8 minutes of the 2nd half, so they have most of the half left?
Belgium will once again disappoint...with all that talent.
Russia and Japan will make it farther than Mexico.
Just sad.

WTF was Belgium doing on that 2nd goal. No one pressed up. Acres of space for the shooter. Just terrible.
