You know, any other day I'd go head to head with ya and predict 4 - 1 in favor of Belgium.
But looking at our line-up, I think Belgium's gunning for second place, in order to give some R&R to the star players and to come out against a weaker player in the next match.
Something that has me really pissed off. In the world championship, you should try to win every match and give every match your all.
And who knows, next match we might get played home by Switzerland or something... We wouldn't have had a worthwhile match during the entire run.
Belgium v England could be an assuredly exciting match. Because you guys are good, but you are far from invincible. And had both line-ups been prime; it would have been a thrilling match. One in which I would think we could definitely win, but it would be hard earned.
Tonight... I don't know. I don't see it. Going in with low expectations.
Well, as I was led to believe by my dad, another motivation for yesterday's snooze-fest of a match, was the difference in stadiums; to win would mean playing in 39 degrees C in the next game, whereas to lose would... not. And being Brits... I doubt we've ever had 39 degrees C in our country... so our running joke of the game was along the lines of the half-time pep talk being something like this 'come on guys, just pretend to try a bit longer'
