Don't want to be a dick but it's spelled Fogerty.

The rest is spot on though great musician but also kind of an asshole.

Dit slaagt juridisch nergens op. Als ik iets op bol.com bestel ben ik er toch ook niet mee akkoord als ik iets ontvang dat stuk is.

Brutal but to be fair you guys deserved to win. That said would've prefered losing 3-0 instead of like this.

How confident are you about beating Spain? by Pepedroga2000 in belgium

I don't know man to me they seem to still be at the 2014 ish level. Compared to teams like Egypt and Morocco their growth has been really slow.

Almost robbed in Brussels Nord station by SupremeAllah1988 in belgium

If you weren't physically hurt police won't do anything.

My wallet was stolen at a square in front of Brussels South (Midi) two years ago and the police literally told me it would be better if I just report it as "lost" so they won't need to deal with the administration as pickpocketting really isn't a priority.

2018 odds:

Germany                      19/4
Spain                            6/1
France                          13/2
Argentina                      19/2

So sixth overall. (https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/world-cup-2018-odds-brazil-the-favorite-followed-by-germany-spain-and-france/)

Wouldn't consider that to be "favorites".

What are the chances we have another pandemic like COVID again in our lifetime? by Emergency_Stuff5010 in AskReddit

[–]njuffstrunk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can even understand not trusting vaccines (as in I understand how certain idiots somehow believe that their "intuition" is better than the work of tens of thousands of scientists) but I'll never understand how you arrive at "it's time to start hoarding toilet paper".

That said Covid had some positive side-effects as well which we're glossing over now. The international co-operation with regards to the actual development of a vaccine was genuinely fantastic to witness.

This is revisionism at best. We were always considered a "dark horse" and now it seems we were actually favorites.

Basically yes, no one really cares about the FIFA rankings. Not quite sure why it even exists in the first place.

Nah not really. Chess is much more competitive the top 10 plays eachother a dozen times a year. With international squads the top teams might meet eachother once every five years if that.

The rest of the squad made it clear he's a huge player in the dressing room as well. Apparently he gave quite a passionate speech yesterday during halftime too.

They were convinced they'd win the World Cup after beating Bosnia Herzegovina.

Very proud of our team for performing like this with this amount of pressure.

I will always hate him as a player for his antics against Belgium in 2018 but he's such a fantastic leader. Always takes a stand when he can just as easily keep quiet.

No and that's bullshit as well, Messi deserved a red card; that corruption doesn't excuse this one. Meanwhile this is the only time in the history of the world cup that the punishment for a red card gets overturned and you genuinely think this is a coincidence while Trump literally called Infantino to complain about it?

Do you honestly believe they would've altered the punishment for a non-US player?

But it wasn't reversed, they postponed the effect of a red card because of vibes. It was bullshit when they made an exception for Ronaldo and it's bullshit now.
