Liverpool vs Barcelona has to be one of the craziest results I have ever seen. My mind was blown
what a night SD!, they really defined the word Team-Work yesterday.
Spurs game might have overtaken this one in terms of drama.

Agreee!!, when you think ‘you have seen it all’ feeling.

I said before the tournament that the first big opponent Belgium would face would mean our exit. We’ve lasted a round longer than expected.
We played our best match of the five and were still outclassed by Italy, which look like the top favourites to win the title now.
England’s got the home advantage, though…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Belgium are so frustrating. They are one of the most talented teams in the world, but they always choke in the big tournaments. This team desperately needs to win a trophy before the golden generation retires.

Our defense is already partly retired and the others are ageing fast.
In terms of midfield and attack, we’ve got some solid younger players coming up through the ranks, but not in defense.
Our big chances were 5 years ago when we humiliated ourselves vs. Wales, and 3 years ago when we were the better side against a cynical France but lost.
Also, we don’t really choke in the big tournaments. In actuality, we never really perform all that great in the regular matches either. We merely shine against vastly inferior opponents. As soon as the opponents are getting close in quality, they ALWAYS give us trouble, big tournament or not.
We’ve never dominated big teams like Italy dominated us now. Not once in this entire generation’s run.
We’ve just been “lucky” to have drawn weaker teams in all qualification rounds, so it appeared that we were better than we really were by getting 30/30. In reality, we’ve only been truly tested on the big tournaments, and we’ve never passed those tests.
We were always better when we didn’t have such talented players. THEN the big teams feared us. Perpetual underdog syndrome?
