Belgium simply a better team.

Belgium simply a better team.

It’s very apparent.

National embarrassment on home soil. Absolute failure.

We aren’t close to being a contender on the world stage.

I think they call that an ass-whooping in both Flemish and French.

I really want to see Belgium kick the sh*t out of Spain

I've been watching world cups since 1970, and in my opinion the quality of the teams has dropped off over the last decade. Not that it isn't entertaining, just lacking quality. I'm not sure many of the European players would have made their national teams in the past, and maybe one of the Brazil team would, and none of the German team. I think this is a big part of the reason that so many players pushing 40 have been playing this go around.
Things are so bad that England may make the semi final (albeit via Congo, Mexico, and Norway - not exactly powerhouses of soccer).
The team that has surprised me the most has been Columbia, they probably won't win it, but they have been the most entertaining to watch.
