Why do you think Jose wants him

Ashley Young, Valencia
Refuses to buy fullbacks, converts wingers instead

I can understand what man's saying. At some point around 2005, Robinho had the same hype as Messi.

God damn, Hazard is ripping Fagner apart.

This is a crazy performance from Belgium's Front 3.

Fagner going home a broken man

firmino in

As a brazilian living in belgium this is tearing me apart.

Everytime brazil looses the ball belgium is there with the fast counter. Brazil needs to start running and be agressive

My heart cant take this 4 years ago against germany and now belgium

Do you all think Belgium will match up to France or what?

True lol

I was so proud I clocked very early that Robinho was a super fraud.

This is how Fellaini keeps Mourinho hooked

Willian out?

Hazard going to kill Fagner now

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Now comes Firmino with Willian out?

I’m not a fan of “ modern Brasil”

The new style they’ve been trying.

They haven’t been the same since the real Ronaldo

I blame Robinho for breaking the chain of crazy talent

Brazil haven't played Joga Bonito since the 1980's tbh. Even the great Brazilian sides led by Romario and Ronaldo weren't very exciting to watch. This "new style" isn't new at all. In fact, ugly football gave them two world cups (1994 and 2002)

Belgium have been playing better as a team but France have overall better quality in each position. It should be an even game.

He was known for performing better for the national team than club teams. And i was a huge robinho fan as a kid so maybe im biased

Looks of it today they’ll beat them with physicality

England won off penalties. Anything is possible this year. Im still in
