I'm laughing they only put 3 past Cyprus.

As a comparison - a considerably worse (to say the least) team in Scotland beat a team on the same level as Cyprus (Malta) 1:5. Spain won 8:0, hardly the annihilation you were predicting at 3:0 is it?

I know you'll say they stopped playing or something silly like that anyway, I don't know why I bother.

They are at the moment, officially worse than Equatorial Guinea though. They're one of the lowest ranked European nations outside of the bottom feeders like San Marino and Andorra. Beating them 3-0 is the absolute bare minimum for the second best team in the world.

How anyone can defend 2 abysmal seasons compared to one very good season is beyond me, especially when that very good one came first.
It will be the same with Koeman, the real test for any manager (or player) is that second season. From what I have already seen from Koeman I am confident that he can handle that second season. Already, we have seen strong leadership, we have seen the ability to change things up when it obviously is not working and then admit to that being his own fault. The players will defo react positively to this humility and honesty and us fans should react well to a manager who is not treating us like idiots, he knows that we are watching the same game. The final confidence booster for me is the ability to know when to tighten the game up and close it out (which he has already done twice), I doubt Koeman is going to bring on a like for like winger when you have a defensive midfielder on the bench and you know that your 10 men are going to tire despite being 2 up.

How is that me saying "at 3-0" there would be an annihilation from that point? I didn't post in this thread during the match.

The ironic thing is you were and I was watching the Sweden-Holland game!

Haha no I don't think he meant you predicted an annihilation when it went to 3-0 mate, he means as it was only 3-0, it was hardly the annihilation you predicted

I was eating a burger and I didn't give 2 single shits for Belgium or Bob the Clown, actually.

Point is, you overstated something that was obviously never gonna happen, and lo-and-behold, it didn't. Absolutely murdered them 3:0, brutal savages Belgium are.

Meanwhile Spain score 8 without getting out of first gear, because they're that much better.
