The 2006 World Cup team. Before that maybe the 94 World Cup team. They are very unItalian.


To think we could have had him and Alderweirald as our central defenders at one point.
i was at the world cup final in 94 when brazil played italy...also got to see Holland play Ireland in Orlando

Portugal vs Belgium was a shithousery, worst game I've seen in an Euro in the last 20 years.

Portugal not creating much also helped a bit.
Late to this, but Portugal had 23 shots on goal. United haven’t mustered up anything close to that in (a wild guess) probably about 20 games last season.

Takes 5min of the clock while he could’ve walked off the field. Football has incredibly stupid rules still.

No team in particular.
Actually the fact this 3rd place in World Cup might end up being the only achievement of such generation will be underwhelming to look at in the future after this generation is done.
80s Belgium golden generation achieved a 4th place at WC and an Euro final.

The only thing we can blame on Belgium is losing to Wales in Euro 2016, they should have beaten them based on the quality gap.
In WC 2018 they lost to the world Champions, and now they are losing to the best team in the tournament.

Winning tournaments it's hard, England hasn't won anything since 1966 for example having quality in some of their squads.

So what could’ve taken 10” took more than 5 minutes. Okay then.
