Shades of Saitama - BELJPN

[tee rex]

3-0 by half-time.

Arigato.

I have to do a Patrick Thistle now, so ...

[Mr Cogito]

Is that a smirk on Jürgen's face every time Rio or Alan speaks?

[Satchmo Distel]

Nishinolord?

Japan are better than Russia but are playing for the shoot-out by and large. Because Japan do not foul much, Belgium are not getting as many set-pieces has they would like.

It is hard to break down an organized side that keeps everyone behind the ball.

[Felicity, I guess so]

Idly allocating the Belgians to Vlaams or Wallon origins, to keep myself engaged. Hazard, Meunier, Courtois obvious Walloon names; Lukaku probably francophone, ‘Yannick’ tips Carrasco into that camp-what about kompany?

[Jah Womble]

Turns out it was five goals he got.

All-time World Cup record.

The "Vincent" tends to be pronounced as if French

[Felicity, I guess so]

So that’s 5/11, which is nice

[Felicity, I guess so]

5 Flems; 6 Walloons

[ursus arctos]

Middle name Jean, brother’s name François.

Lukaku is quite bilingual, as he grew up in Antwerp

[Jah Womble]

Get in!

[Gerontophile]

Oh my.

[ad hoc]

Yes!

[Felicity, I guess so]

Oh desr

[longeared]

So, Japan being easy opponents, then.

[Diable Rouge]

Cat amongst pigeons.

[Kevin S]

Brutally punished there. Nicely taken.

[Jah Womble]

Just what the game needed, Brian.

[Kevin S]

Oof, and then Belgium hit the post!

[jason voorhees]

These men seem to be taking many pages out of their World Champion women's book.

[Diable Rouge]

Unlikeliest diaspora derby on the cards.

[Kevin S]

Fuck!

[SouthdownRebel]

Oh my word.

[Jah Womble]

Holy f***!

[ad hoc]

Two!

[Walt Flanagans Dog]
