Winning this world cup won't have the same prestige as others, it bit like when liverpool won the league during covid
Okay, maybe the referee wasn't at his best. But in the end Italy still lost, so how was it a disgrace?
I wouldn't rule out that they show good team play, but how is that an impressive lineup? VvD, Dutch Maguire and Frenkie aside it's a bunch of players, who are pretty talented, but ultimately not good enough for elite clubs (yet) and that's what it usually comes down to at these tournaments, as dominating the ball by itself doesn't get you anywhere. You (also) need to succeed in the key individual moments, like your keeper stepping up the one or two times your defense is bound to let something slip or your attackers making the most out of the two or three opportunities you'll get in a close game.
Massively impressed with how Faes has adapted to the Premier League. Tielemens is also looking quite good and of course a lot will depend on De Bruyne and Courtois. Belgium aren't as good as 2018 on paper but could cause a surprise hereCan and will Wout Faes be Belgium missing link? You just don't a big tournament by beautiful skill and style. Like the golden generation of Belgium with De Bruyne, Hazard, Mertens and Lukaku.
Wout Faes just came to Leicester City this summer. But after he start. Leicester City has went from bottom team to have 5 cleen sheets in Wout Faes 8 starter. Wout Faes just got his debut for Belgium. And with his form. I think Faes will be the regular starter for Belgium. And Faes can be a key player if Belgium will doing well and go far i think.
Belgium just need so badass of a CB. Super aggresive, brave and with top figthing spirit. Can be what Belgium is lacking. A strong and rock solid defend.
Example France didn't won World Cup before they combine the super high football skills with really strong powerful and physical team. With Viera, Desailly, Thuram and those kide of physical advantage.
A rock solid and strong defend. A defend hard to break and beat. Got to be there. Beside offenesive top and world class ball skills. Both top level in defend and attack. Those teams that come closest and highest to the top level in both defend and attack will rise theirs chance to win the world cup.
So exciting to see how far Belgium will go. With Wout Faes as a regualar starter.
But, what do you think about Denmark.I think Argentina has most winner heads players in the team and squad. They have many really aggresive players. Really high high winning and figthing mentality.
Otamendi has been really good after leaving City.
At this moment. My brain think Argentina. But i really enjoy watching Denmark playing football. Denmark have really good team playing. The collective of Denmark is really good and strong. Special the build and attack. Big pleasure to watch Denmark playing football. If Denmark had a world class player who is a team player. I think Denmark could go really far. It's the collective and United of Denmark. I am really impress.
Argentina
and
Denmark as the outsider and surpise team.
Yeah those golden generation players are 4 years older. Special Hazard has had a really deep downfall. It's like he just disapear from the football world. Totally what is happening with him after joining Real Madrid.Massively impressed with how Faes has adapted to the Premier League. Tielemens is also looking quite good and of course a lot will depend on De Bruyne and Courtois. Belgium aren't as good as 2018 on paper but could cause a surprise here
Theirs collective playing is really good. At this moment on nation level. Collective, theirs build up, passing football and how their play as a team. I have enjoy a lot in theirs last tournament. Special the last European cup 2020.But, what do you think about Denmark.
Sequel to 1992 fairytale, possible but unlikely.I claimed and stated that Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is the premier leauge most underrated CM player. But i think i will rate him as "The world most underrated football player"
Conte is a reason. But behind Spurs top 4 last season and Denmark really team and collective united and strength. Good collective football is most of this man effort. Højbjerg is not only a really hard working cm player. He is good in the build up and offensive too. Special if he win the ball in the middle. You know he will deliver a precise pass to the attacking players or he will make run forward with the ball.
One of the most complete and allround cm player right now in football world.
And i have recognized that Jose Mourninho have eyes to caught those really good players. It was Mourinho who brought Højbjerg to Spurs. But the only problem for Mourinho is. Mourinho has run out of luck. It's like the time for Mourinho to manage and lead the top clubs is over. Like Sir Alex and Wenger. Everybody has theirs time. The size of the club for Mourinho after United were Spurs and As Roma. So the direction is pointing down.
So back to Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. The most key player for Denmark is here. The guy that bind the defend and attack and let play as a Unit. A strong, solid and well play Unit.
Denmark has a good defend and back 4. Good midfield. But they attack is lacking a world class CF. And if Mikkel Damsgård find and hit his top level again. Over the whole tournament. Damsgård will help and contribute in the attack options and playing.
From the last European 2020 cup and after that. Not many nations in Europe are playing better football than Denmark.
That are mine analizing of Denmark qualities and abilities. Theirs strength is the collective and they are playing as a team. Both in defensive and offensive. As strong and solid unit. A key factor to doing well.
Yeah i think it will be hard for Denmark. The key and factor for Denmark is to end up above France. Not impossible. If they finish above France then they will avoid Argentina whom i think will finish as nr.1 in group cSequel to 1992 fairytale, possible but unlikely.
England won't go far under Southgate, the first decent side they come up against they'll be on the next flight homeCanada and Cameroon will be this years suprises. Belgium, Portugal and Spain will disapoint.
Final will be Brazil-England and Argentina will win the bronze.
Agree. If I was to pick a euro team though I’d back Netherlands as an outsider.Argentina or Brazil
Nope, they will win the whole thingEngland won't go far under Southgate, the first decent side they come up against they'll be on the next flight home
You still sure about that?More chance of Harry Maguire getting the golden boot than that big girls blouse.
