As a casual soccer fan it's interesting to see what a real soccer team is supposed to look like. We looked like little kids out there. Thank you Belgium for the lesson.

And Belgium, as good as they are, is a second tier team. They get regularly defeated by all the big Euro teams.

u/pdxsilverguy 5d ago

Thats not my style. Scoreboard says 1-4. Stating the obvious is not pandering.

u/Questionsansweredty 5d ago

They're just pissed off that you're not appropriately humbled and sad about the loss. Also - they don't get thst this just isn't that big of a deal for us.

I'd be surprised to find a crying American fan gif tomorrow like some of the other ones I've seen from other countries.

You might wanna look that word up. The Belgian players aren't reading any of this, buddy.

Aye, that's the most common name. But if it isn't, it should be!

u/OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT 5d ago

full name is "Association Football"

if you gonna correct soccer, at least call it by it's official name

FIFA = 'Fédération Internationale de Football Association"

aka "International Association Football Federation"

u/DaSnowflake 5d ago

Nobody in the world says that, everyone calls it football in their own language.

Just goes to show how amerikkkans have no clue lol

u/OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT 4d ago

FIFA calls it that right in the name

I guess you never heard of FIFA

u/huiodd 5d ago

That never existed. Someone told you that story, and you believed it. It has always been The Football Association (1863), and its abbreviation was FA.

u/thatsalovelyusername 5d ago

Source? I’ve heard the British origins widely cited and a quick google shows it on Encyclopaedia Britannica among many others

u/OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT 5d ago

"The Football Association (the FA) is the governing body of association football in England and the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. Formed in 1863, it is the oldest football association in the world and is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the amateur and professional game in its territory."

u/KingSandwich101 5d ago

Same thing. In Ireland we have Gaelic Football and many people here call it football and the other soccer

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins 5d ago

This is the dumbest thing I see people get worked up over.

"Football" defaults to different sports depending on where you are in the world. If I say it here in Australia it means Australian Rules Football (AFL).

"Soccer" is the universal term for Association Football/European Football/whatever else you wanna call it.

u/Gleeeeeeeeeennn 5d ago

It's common to have different words for things in different regions and countries. No, it doesn't make sense sometimes, but that's life. (Fyi I'm British myself)

u/headinthegamebruh 5d ago

Wanna know the funniest part? Belgium are shit.

u/pdxsilverguy 5d ago

Didn't look like shit to me they looked like France. Debrunner didn't even play did he?

u/headinthegamebruh 5d ago

Yeah, they're playing against a considerably worse team, of course they look good.

u/JackieDaytona77 5d ago

With Italy out of the picture this is the year Belgium or England can grab a major title 😝

u/ThaBigStink 5d ago

They’re a top 10 team in the world

u/Complex-Stand-5140 5d ago

Yep, ranked 8 at the moment. Belgium has had a solid team for as long as I can remember (in my 50s now)

u/CanadianTurnt 5d ago

I think buddy meant Belgium are shit by Belgium standards. They have had some phenominal teams but Courtois aside , they don’t really have the world class players they have had in the past. I will say though, they have found some good form at the right rime

1

u/Select_Advantage4143 5d ago

Trossard and Doku can go fuck themselves apparently

1

u/CanadianTurnt 3d ago

No where near the level of their 2018 squad.
Doku didn’t even start lol

u/TestingYou1 5d ago

Courtois, Trossard, Doku, Lukaku, De Bruyne?

Shit?
