World Cup 2018

Why on earth would Vermalean play over any of those 3 CB's

They are all much, much better.

Pretty sure you haven't watched any of Barca's matches in which Vermalean played . He was better than both pique and Umtiti last season

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Brazil will feast on this shitty Belgium defense . Still don't understand why Vermalean isn't playing .

And Belgium will feast on Brazil's acres of space. Going to be a wide open game.

If instead of Belgium it would've been Portugal tonight, half the forum's population would've vanished from the face of the earth.

Injury ? That's usually the reason 99% time with Verminator

He is available

 

[Morten]

Who to cheer for between Belgium and Brazil? Indifference would be the word for Belgium, dont care one way or the other about their players, would be nice for Marcelo and Casemiro to go to the final, but then i have to put up with NeyNey...difficult.

 

[El Gato]

Yep. Now that you mention it, Madrid had some pure bread workhorses over the last 10-15 years. Lass, Gravesen and Emerson.

I mean.. they're all fairly likeable as players (maybe bar the most boring man on the planet, Emerson)

Brazil's defense under Tite has been much much better . With Paulinho in midfield they will do better than Belgium defense . Not sure whether casemero is suspended or not

Yep. Another common trait among workhorses. Useful and friendly, unless badly pissed, a line you wouldn't like to cross with them. Always willing to help out with the daily chores of a football game.

Yes.

True imagine the hype of a last minute Ronaldo winner .

Pretty sure you haven't watched any of Barca's matches in which Vermalean played . He was better than both pique and Umtiti last season . and Mangala is a joke of defender . Vermalean >>>>>> Mangala

Vermaelen is not better than Alderweireld or Vertonghen. Mangala is from France.

How do you manage to make these things sound bad? They're fine. Great utility players. Not everybody is a N'Golo Kante.

Easy. Belgium.

No Casemiro then, who is kinda a workhorse, but a bit of a jerk at the same time. He also have that Xabi Alonso-trait, escaping red cards somehow.

Ronaldo is Thanos confirmed. And the Balon D'Ors are his infinity stones.
