As someone who lived on the border with Belgium and got to know a shitload of Belgians it pains me to say this -- this Belgian team can go suck dicks with their grabbing and fouling. Stunning to find myself saying that about a northern European team playing Argentina.

They're a physical team. A a former RB/DM who played as dirty as you can get away with, I must say I enjoy it.

Argentina are pretty physical themselves, but they're a little more...passive aggressive...than Belgium. This Belgian squad will be savages in 4 years.
 
As much as I actually feel Argentina are superior to Belgium, I really want them to get a 2nd. I don't like Belgium being within touching distance.

Apparently all the goals that Belgium have scored this far at the Cup came after the 69th minute

Lol. My answer! But Argentina had no business even being in that final. That was one of the dirtiest teams I ever seen.

THey got one chance per game and were lethal. Still remember them mowing down Yugoslavia then Brazil then Italy to get to the final. They literally got 3 touches of the ball the entire game against Brazil. Maradona's move to put through Caniggia was just brilliant.

Belgium's midfield and Striker position is potent. Those are all guys who know how to score. I don't think De Bruyne, Lukaku, Hazard, and Mirales know how to defend yet, but if they did and could recover the ball better, they'd be such a force.

That said, I agree with you. I'd like a brace from Argentina and a goal from Belgium.

Mostly because I have money on both of those things
 
That was a penalty for fellaini

Seriously. This.

SMH - cheering for Argentina. What has the world come to?
 
Hazard, much like Sanchez, is a mental midget. He has the skills and athleticism, just lacking the mentality, drive and sense of urgency

I know 06, 10, and this one have had some shocking refereeing that have cost games.

02 I remember being better but who knows.

It is always generally sucky but this one has had too many awful calls.
 
I have a cousin that looks exactly like Messi, he ran for state rep a couple years back and almost won.

To me it looks like it's getting better since I started watching in '82 TBH. FIFA need to step in and start looking at tape for divers and butchers like Zuniga.
