I'm not going to answer for youre perception of Belgian fans, i disagree that Brazil was better than Belgium in that semi final. The crucial man in the clash of philosophy that is Belgian and Brazilian football is the position of the keeper. Belgium has had decades of poverty in the attack but we did produce a few world class goalie's and its part of our football tradition to make the best of that. Brazil diametricly opposed to this is a country with a wealth of attacking talent but less of a focus on the back less to speak of the goalie. It's not as bad as it used to be in the past where Brazilian keepers were regarded as nothing more than chicken catchers but it does reveal a stark contrast in style's that realisticly should result in the following perception: Because Brazil traditionally has a great attack one should consider it likely that they produce a above average amount of chances on the goal. Because Belgium traditionally has worldy goalie's, one should consider it likely that the keeper makes an amount of saves that ranges from above average to perhaps exceptional. One can perfectly balance out the other even if the conspicious result is more apparent chances for Brazil. I don't deny that Brazil had plenty of chances for a large part of the match though, just that it isn' as meaningfull as a statistic as it usually would be due to the presence of an in form Courtois.
Our attack however though traditionally bad actually is enjoying as many know somethign of a golden genneration. This produces players that can be considered "more clinical than average". That is should be considered for players like KDB and Hazard but afcourse also for Neymar when in form. KDB made a beauty of a goal, and who here would dare to argue that a player like KDB would not on his own be able to score such a goal against the Brazilian defense and goalie when in form? Looked like City-Sevilla all over to me as for the "type of goal".
The 1st goal though on the corner, yeah there seemed more luck involved with it. Granted Belgium was perhaps nominally also stronger in the air and likely a bit more dangerous in those situations.
So i disagree because the statistics kinda takes some exceptionality's of players out of account.
As for France, i think they outplayed us and in part due to having a stronger team in depth. The style wasn't nessecarily pretty, but it's their right to play like that. I do like it that Belgium played a attractive game during the WC. As to brazilians being butthurt after Belgium-Brazil, oh there were plenty which was extremely entertaining aswell. Btw, Belgium had some "union to peel" with brazil for the perception of having been robbed in a past WC match, so Belgian fans did admittingly had some sentiment of sweet revenge. But really after their failure in the WC before it how do you think Brazilians reacted?
Guess they think it's a bit easier to argue that they were robbed in 2018 than 2014. Stop trying to rewrite history Brazil, you lost fair and square.
My 5 cents.
I do not doubt his talent and skill, and tbh i'm not surprised that my impression of the WC doesn't nessecarily reflect his peformances for various clubs.
