Fun fact: Messi hasn't scored last season against Courtois in their respective teams FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
They met 6 times; 2x La Liga, 2x Champions League and 2x Supercopa
+ Belgium still hasn't lost with Courtois in goal

I'm ready..

People are so quick to dismiss Belgium and already consider Argentina in the semi-finals

Georges

I never liked Neymar, excellent player.

Sad he had to go that way.

AND the only goals Courtois conceded was the penalty + the US goal

Yes, but they haven't lost EVER with Courtois in goal, even outside the WC they haven't lost when he's in goal

Courtois was the best thing to happen to Belgium AND Atletico recently tbh

Also, aren't we the quarter-finalists with the least goals conceded?

Luminary

Oop.. yes. Thibaut ha power

Although it's a tie with Costa Rica I think (if you don't count the penalties

)

Mess I thought he was acting

Chemist

King J and Legend N are still the best players of the WC.
Benzema dissapointed big time.
Mueller is a mess lately.
Messi is good but the argentinian team is tragic.
Robben is also god-like but he be more remembered for his shameless dives

The only one who still has potential to become this WC's best player is Beglium's Hazard. He is sooo good. Hopefully he shines bright like a diamond today

Ok I have to clarify something. I'm "shady" with these 2 teams because I feel like Argentina and Brasil are a cartoon of their past selections, not because they are better than México (which case I would be jelous of the half of the teams

). I was really an admirer of the way that Argentina and Brasil used to play, their players were amazing as individual and playing as a team. Argentina and Brasil now is are a shadow of their past, are mediocre teams to me now.

I've played football (in leagues) many years since I was a kid, I enjoy watching games and enjoy watching teams that show good football, that play smart, with fair play, etc. So as a girl who loves watch football games not only because its players (Which I enjoy aswell

), I'l keep being "shady" towards these both teams. That's how I feel, sis. Sorry.

Not you talking about good football and fair play on the same page you were chearing on Neymar getting his damn vertebra crashed.

Belgium is definitely winning from Argentina tonight. Unsure about NL and Costa Rica though. CR could pull a Mexico and slay our asses but this time actually finish it

Summertime Love

What will happen to Brazil without Neymar? I feel so damn confused and scared.

For those who like some stadistics:

Quote:

Argentina have won three of their four encounters with Belgium, scoring 10 goals and conceding four.
In the World Cup, they have one win each: Belgium were victors in the group stages of the 1982 edition (1-0) while Argentina won 2-0 in the semi-finals four years later thanks to a Diego Maradona brace. That was their last encounter.
Since the start of the 2010 World Cup, Argentina have won eight of their nine games in the competition, their only defeat coming in the quarter finals of the 2010 edition against Germany (0-4).
Argentina have won six of their last 19 World Cup games against European sides at the World Cup.
It’s the third time in a row that Argentina have reached the quarter finals of the World Cup. However, the Albiceleste have never gone further than the quarter finals since they reached the final in 1990.
Argentina haven’t won any of their last four World Cup quarter finals outright, going through on penalties against Yugoslavia in 1990 and being eliminated in 1998 (1-2 v Netherlands), 2006 (on penalties v Germany) and 2010 (0-4 v Germany).
Belgium have reached the quarter finals of the World Cup for only the second time in their history after 1986. They eventually finished fourth.
Argentina have been victorious (via penalties or winning AET) in six of their seven World Cup games that have gone to extra-time.
Argentina and Belgium are two of four teams to have won all their games at the 2014 World Cup (extra-time included), with Colombia and the Netherlands. All four of Argentina and Belgium’s wins have been by a one goal difference.
Belgium’s six goals in this World Cup have all been scored from the 70th minute onwards. Also, four of their six goals have been scored by substitutes.
Belgium have only been ahead for 52 minutes in their four World Cup games so far in 2014, less than any of the seven other teams in the quarter finals.
Belgium and Argentina have had the most shots in this World Cup (83 and 80 respectively). Marc Wilmots’ men have also had the most attempts on target (32).
Argentina have averaged 64.3% of possession in this World Cup, the highest ratio of the tournament.
Lionel Messi has scored (4) and assisted (1) five of Argentina’s seven goals at this World Cup. Three of his four goals have been scored from outside the box.
Messi is the player who has completed the most dribbles at this World Cup (24) and created the most chances for his teammates (18).
In the last 16 game against Switzerland, Angel Di Maria attempted 12 shots, the most ever in a World Cup match by an Argentinean player (1966-2014). He also scored the only goal of the game.
Javier Mascherano has won more tackles than any other player at this World Cup (18 out of 22 attempted).
Kevin De Bruyne delivered the final ball for a Belgian shot 10 times against the USA, more than any other player in a game at this World Cup. He was also involved in both Belgian goals, scoring the first and assisting the second.

I think both are pretty tied.

I'm not here for the first 9 statistics, that's all history, that doesn't mean sh*t now. The statistics about this World Cup are pretty interesting though. Especially this one:

Must be the most exciting match yet then, I hope it shows and it's a thrilling game with Belgium taking it in the end
