With the last fixtures in each group being played this week, the World Cup games are getting a bit more exciting. All the trash teams like Nigeria (no offence) who have unnecessarily taken up 90 minutes of our time are being swept aside and the teams we expected to progress are advancing to the round of 16. Let’s review the last games in group G.
Group G
There always seems to be hype around England going into any major tournament and rarely do they deliver.
Maybe it’s because I consume English media, what did I expect? Or maybe it’s because the English are delusional, makes more sense doesn’t it? Whatever it is, it’s pretty damn annoying.
In all fairness nobody, not even Englishmen, ever predicted England to win this World Cup. England coach Gareth Southgate has little to no pressure going into this tournament.
Belgium may have the best cast of individual players in the tournament, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bryne, just to name a few. This is clearly their ‘Golden Generation’ it would be a waste of talent if these group of guys don’t win at least one major trophy.
I expected Panama to play like they were just happy to be here and for Tunisia to be a tough team to play against but they wouldn’t have enough firepower to cause a threat to England and Belgium.
