World Cup: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia

@SW-User Some players are past their prime. Dries Mertens is invisible the last 2 years. He used to be a little goal getter for the national team and played really well in Napoli. Jan Vertonghen is 35 years old. Axel Witsel imo has always been overestimated, he slows the game down and now that he's older, it didn't get any faster. Eden Hazard, ... What happened to that guy? He's been injured more then that he played games. And when he plays, he just doesn't get in the game. And Romelu Lukaku, our biggest striker, comes back from injury and hasn't played that much lately. There is even a risk that he falls out as soon as he does an action.

Then you have some old glory like: Toby Alderweireld, Yannick Carrasco, Michy Batshuayi and Thomas Meunier. All players that still have good moments. But they seem to be over their prime.

And then you got some hope for the future like: Leandro Trossard, Hans Vanaken and Youri Tielemans. Like... These players are pretty good, but they are a bit too young to go all the way imo. Youri is a weapon though, with a great shot from long distance.

In overall... Our defense is horendous at the moment. I do think we have 2 of the best goalies of the world though. Courtois and Mignolet are all doing a great job. And Mignolet has been a blast in the first rounds of the champions league, the only reason why Brugge is still in there. Our attack is bad. Our big header [i](Marouane Fellaini)[/i] is not in the selection and just over his prime. And Romelu comes back out of injury. What we have going for us is Kevin De Bruyne, which is still the best midfielder of the world. But he's not a goal getter, he needs to feed strikers that we are seriously lacking.

Also... the last games that I watched... they are not playing as a team. Which is, not something you want when you are just being mediocre. At least a structured team could do something, but they make way to many mistakes. And the defense, is so so so so bad. Which is something you can only compensate with a good fast offense, and that part is just not happening.

But hey, I hope they proof me wrong.

@Kwek00 I thought Tielemans was one of the best players in the Premier League last season. Leicester have struggled this year and Tielemans seems to be focussed on a transfer.

@SW-User He can't do it alone. He's also not Maradonna.

He was already really good when he was still playing for Anderlecht. But I'm not sure if he's going to be good in the system that Martinez wants to play.

Djezes fuck, that we are still paying Martinez is just an incredible shame. But apperently he has a good relationship with the Belgian Football Association. But I dont give a shit about that. The best he did with these players is take bronze. And in the Euros we just got eliminated. Like... Why? Why is this guy still there? Why???
