The best game I’ve watched so far, by far. Are the fancied Belgians beginning to look like the highly promising yet underachieving French and Dutch squads of years gone by, lacking; bottle, leadership, and simply unable to play as a team? Despite most of them coming through their respective national school of excellence together?
Meanwhile Antonio (Nosebleed) Conte’s workmanlike Italy are as is their norm – when defending is seen as an art form – going to be extremely difficult to beat once again in an international tournament, something you don’t get taught at a school of excellence.
Say well, be lucky and keep smiling.
Peace.
Kev.

Ha!! Just brilliant! I can hear this being sung. So funny!
I love this verse as I know exactly that feeling of living in a fantasy while kicking the ball as a kid. Makes me wonder what fantasy world professional players live in when they dribble, pass and shoot? Hopefully it’s doesn’t always feel like routine job fired them
