Round of 16: Belgium vs Japan

[Tubey]

@Tubey should be most embarrassed. Went hard in on #WorldCupBobby and has ended up realising he's totally out of his depth.
Bobby wins.

Pfft I called the comeback win at 2-0 lad.

So when they were losing 2-0 it was his fault, but when they win 3-2 it's because of the players?

they scored more goals the further away in time they got from his team talk

Probably his first real test this Friday. Not including the England game as both played the ‘B’ team.

Will Belgium scored more than Brazil? Belgium will concede...I guess.

Confirmation of what we already know. You don't have it in you to hold your hands up and say "I got it wrong". Shame lad.

Gutted!!!! Just hope Brazil wack them

I just think it's weird for people to lump all of the blame on him when they were losing, and then when they turned it around try to give him no credit. Two of the subs scored. Subs made by the manager not by the players.

Weird obsession people have with trying to discredit the man. Losing on Friday would be no mark of shame btw.

At 1-0:

If this stays the same I'm going to rip @davek to shreds for weeks.

It won't though - Belgium win this 3-1, possibly AET.

At 2-0:

In all seriousness, they should still win this weirdly enough.

I never thought for a moment Japan would win it, but I found the scare very, very funny. A tactically inept Martinez and Lukaku going missing yet again in a big game, bailed out by the underrated Fellaini.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Fellaini a game changer.

Again.

Bring a bloooo home

@davek WORLD CUP BOBBY LAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAA

Strange post considering you were still expecting Belgium to win.

 

[PeregrineT]

Daveks favorite team won! He must be over the moon right now!

 

[Khalekan]

I am delighted for Bobby.....for Rom....most of all for big Felli.

I hope they stuff Neymar and his Kopite mates.

Allez Belgique....

 

[abelard]

Respect to Japan for properly going for it right to the end.

A nominally twice-as-talented small European side would have been playing for penalties from the 15th minute.

World Cup > Euro any day.

 

[Khalekan]

Anyone on this forum could manage Belgium with the same effect as Martinez. He’s clearly got no influence at all on these players they just direct themselves. Understandably as they are in the top 3 squads in world football.

Points @ kev and lol

Well this explains everything
