Re: 2023-24 Champions League: Play-off round

After first leg (home % previously) AEK Athens - Antwerp 40:60 (50) No way that Antwerp is favourite in this game. AEK dominated most of the game. Antwerp managed to keep a clean sheet with the atmosphere of their fans. But next week the fanatic home crowd will be on the other side. For 3/4 of the ...

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

A meme saw a coach make the crazy bet of imagining that a 37-year-old grandfather was going to make the difference. A player who has not managed 3 balls correctly and has been unable to create a single goal opportunity in over an hour. Is that Dzeko you're talking about? Who else ? A brave boy who ...

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

The meme chance-waster equalizes for Belgium. The meme chance-waster who scored 363 goals and gave 107 assists with his clubs (696 matches) and 73 goals with the national team (107 matches).

Re: Belgian Football Season 2022-23

This championship is completely crazy. No one is safe. Very balanced competition every week.

Draws for Genk (#1) VS Cercle (#10), for FC Bruges (#4) VS Kortrijk (#14) and for Standard Liège (#7) VS Zulte (#17).
Home defeat for Antwerp (#3) VS Charleroi (#9).

Re: European Super League

Definitely agree. The purpose of this Super League is NOT to have promotion/relegation system. It's the opposite, it's to make sure that they are playing it every season. I read that they intend to generate 10 bn revenues every season. Not sure if it's only TV rights or if they count (additional) m...

Re: UEFA Nations League 2020/21

100% with both of you. Even if Courtois didn't have to work much, I must admit this English team is promissing . Lot of great young players. Grealinsh is wonderful. As well as this left winger from Arsenal i've never heard of. Of course, some could say Belgium accepted the english domination for co...

A bad mentality of arrogant young players and a coach among the worst in the country. Nobody understands anything about his appointment.

Re: UEFA Nations League 2020/21

I think Belgium is already an old team and some players like Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Meunier, Witsel start to suffer when it goes faster. rather than old I would say that they are experienced and they know to suffer. And at the end they controlled quite comfortably that English team conceding ver...

Re: UEFA Nations League 2020/21

FT 2-0. That's a tough loss. Belgium are the total package, so even though England overran the midfield, they got 2 goals from little offence, and the defence was excellent. The defending imo is the main reason they won. England had 15 shots, 2 on target. That's not because England were hitting eve...

:grin1: Never... If Malmö had the cash to buy Thelin, I can assure you Anderlecht would have been happy to sell him. He's not a mediocre player and he is very professional but this transfer years ago was a mystery for Anderlecht's fans. And questions remain. Just saw the notification for this post ...

They were better with Rosenberg's replacement than with Uwe Rosler's replacement. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EN12Lq2WoAAt3aY.jpg:small Kiese Thelin is their new striker! 8) I wouldn't necessarily call him a replacement for Rosenberg though -- partly because he is a very different player type (in f...

73% 27% Manchester United - Club Brugge

Really ? 73-27 ?

Well, if Bruges are able to play the way they played the last month (and with a A team VS ManU, because sometimes coachs are weird in EL), some may be surprised...

Anyway, it's good to be so underestimated.
