Belgium struggling vs Panama. :))

Until now, none of the favourites played as expected. Interesting..

Annnnnd 3-0. Expect Belgium to be like Spain; with their possession, most goals will be scored in the second half. World Cup games are almost always with lesser teams playing with bunker defenses hoping to get out of the group rounds.

Of the favorites, only Spain and Belgium looking sharp.

Dier is better player but Henderson is more mobile and more of a leader type in team that doesnt have many.

I get that but he isn't anywhere near good enough as a 6, don't mind him playing as an 8. We will get torn apart by better teams if we go in with him playing that role, especially accompanied by Alli and Lingard.

Dier is so much better than henderson in this setup how has Southgate picked the latter to start.
Henderson is a much better passer of the ball than Dier. Both will probably play against Belgium, but against teams who will likely be defensive, we can only have one, and Henderson is the better passer.

Kind of a miracle how Pep managed to concede so few goals with such specialists as Ederson, Otamendi, Walker and Stones :)
