This is a defensive clown show right now. It's a whole team effort.


How about the passing? Is that defense?

It's obvious that this ref is going to do us no favors. Been very pro aggressive Belgium so far.

How is that on dest


Because Flo was deemed eligible. The down side of that decision, along with Belgium being even more laser focused than ever.

Dude should be called for a hook and hold and it's on Dest instead? I'd love to see a replay

We're playing like **** but do you think refs are trying to Batman so far?

First quarter of the match has been dreadful. U19 vs U16 vibes.

Need a replay of that last foul on Dest, looked like it should have gone our way but he didn't seem to take issue with it.

Team is still hungover on hotdogs, apple pie and beer.

It could be that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. Explains why I come with a warning label. Life is short, drink jager with red bull.

It seems to have us confused.

However, this is stuff you learn at 10 years old.

Challenge the ball in the air.
Don't let opponents run unmolested with the ball in the box.
When in trouble, CLEAR IT.


Sprinkler guy needs a talking to.

WTF, I mean WTF was Dest doing on that goal? Before the ball even came down I could tell by his body language and yelled "don't let that bounce!". Absolutely terrible. That doesn't even happen on my son's U15 club team. You NEVER let a ball bounce in your own box. EVER!

Pochettino has spent 18 months trying to tell these guys every loose ball is the most important ball, the most important play you can make, you always attack the ball especially in your own box, and Dest just F'ing watches.

And he isn't playing well enough to brush it off. None of them are. Way too much anxiety, too many turnovers.

Calm down, connect passes, attack the ball, and challenge every loose ball.

Smart of us to not give away our strategy early in the game. Look like a bunch of idiots and pass the ball directly to them to not tip our strategic hand

And NOT to the center of the field. If you've played any sort of competitive soccer, that is drilled into you at an early age.
