A match between Argentina and Netherlands was promised to be an exciting thriller. In the end, it was. But unfortunately overshadowed by something that was not appropriate for a football match on that level. Players from both teams forgot how to behave themselves. They have set the badest example possible. Even the greatest of them all Lionel Messi.

World cup Qatar — the second round of talking points
1. “They all are hatin’, but I like rotating” For me still one of the most amusing lines from José Mourinho’s technical overcoat song comes in very handy. A lot of managers decided to rest some of the players or simply rotate them.

World Cup in Qatar raised and still raises many questions. From bribery affairs in organizing the event to the civil rights of (dead) workers who built stadiums. Some cultural limitations didn’t help either. However, one thing bothered me the most. Timing. But not in the wrong way. In a way, nobody saw that as an opportunity of experiencing one of the best tournaments ever.

Is World Cup in Qatar a last chance for Belgium’s golden generation?
World Cup in Qatar starts shortly. Teams are already counting their injured players. The ones that are lucky and qualitative enough will make it to the tournament. There are quite a lot of favorites. Brasil, Argentina, France, Germany … but I’ve been thinking about one for quite a long time. Belgium. Their golden generation has probably the last chance to win something.
