I don't think that you want to talk about, but did they Crunch or do you hope that both teams will Tie to increase their enthusiasm ? No answer will surely be the good answer as spies are everywhere. At least, seeing the wide avantage for the belges, they did not need to put more in this game. Their enthusiasm loss is a small compensation for the coming competition.

lol, somebody missed the fact that LA-Revo, Belgian NT coach, is training a french U21 prospect, currently in the U21 team. i'm rahter dissapointed here.
as for the higher enthousiasme, call it insurance. we lost to that same team the previous season (by 10 points no less), and i didn't want to take any risks at all. Futher more, i had a decent chance to increase our goal difference, thinking of the worst case scenario where Belgium would logically lose against Portugal, and Portugal would lose against Slovenko, having 3 teams with 6 wins and 1 loss. so i needed goal average, and in that event, the enthousiasme choice was a correct one from the belgian perspective. Ofcourse, nobody forsaw the Belgian victory over Portugal, and that includes me. i was surprized by the win. i still need to watch the game and have a carefull look at it, cause i still wonder how we won that game...
However, i find it rahter unpleasant that a french guy doesn't like the Belgian NT, cause each member of the Belgian NT prefers the french NT over the Dutch NT(no hard feelings towards the dutch! but on BB, i prefer the french for because they work as one and all work for their country, where as you can't say the same of the dutch. Dutch NT/U21 staff has my respect for their work, but it's the french NT/U21 that i had higher in my regard). it's amusing to know that
les petits belges aren't liked by the french.
I guess that
les petits belges will have to support England next time instead of France ( just joking here, we'll continue to support the french U21/NT's aslong as they don't play our team :P)
anyhow, GM-MP, we'll defo still talk in the icelandic Fed.
i wish the best against your NT, and i hadn't expected to win by 40, even if you TIE'd. our Enthousiasme and tactical plans have been decided long ago already. and unless if the belgian GS is horrible, then i'll stick to the plan that i had in mind when we started this qualification round.
LA-Revo
ps: GM-MP, if you want, once Belgium has been eliminated from their tourney/qualification rounds, then i'd happily have a rematch with you guy's.
