Will be watching Tuesday along with Bart

Yesterday was a good rehearsal: 4-1 against Costa Rica.

Carlos, Belgium-Panama is Monday!

Eden Hazard was outstanding.
I hope your prognosis about the semifinal proves to be accurate!

Watching but only because I have to due to work reasons. I hate where football is going, the hypertrophy, the way some nations, FA's, players and media have started to deteriorate and personally I prefer to watch younger lads (Under 20, U17, U15) with more freshness and less cynicism. Today a kid I "discovered" (spotted, scouted) agreed to move to Real Madrid for EUR 45 million + addons, totally larger than life, unrealistic and bad for anybody who's 17 years old and still very much in a period of learning, not just about the game etc but also about life and about themselves.

The World Cup to me has transformed into something that's too big (I suppose the market value of the France squad must be the debt of an entire Municipality?), so much so I decided not to attend this time around.

Moreover, I'm fine with watching the games on the TV and will celebrate should Argentina win (yeah right...), but I just pray nothing "weird" happens in terms of safety, Russia, international terrorism etc. That's far more important than if the ball goes in or not.

Fernando, pop stars and top sporters, like some football players, are way overpaid indeed.
But in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy myself and be a cheerleader of the Red Devils!

Give me some gossip Bart -was it true that thing between Courtouis's girlfriend and K. De Bruyne? Hahaha sorry, occupational hazard.

You guys will probably do well, reach 1/8ths or 1/4 finals.

And by the way we aim higher than the 1/8ths or ¼ finals but reaching the quarter final in all three last tournaments wouldn't be so bad after all.
