Have to mix it a bit. We have little to lose now, literally. A safe draw is not enough -plus, the AWs of 2010 had three draws and we are apparently a better team.
Anyway Belgium! Waffles, Huysegems!
Do we dare to dream? Or did we fire our best shots and miss anyway?
Can we at least preserve some dignity we lost?
Well let's hope we don't have Belgium do everything it can to try very cynical "game management" cheating like Egypt did and dodgy off field scheming to give a higher ranked team favors. Iran game was fair enough despite some Iranian dives, but that Egypt game was rigged, main ref Omar Al Ali had refereed Egyptian clubs recently in his UAE home, and 2 other UAE officials and a Qatar official. & dont forget 12 years reigning Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah El Sisi.🤝💵💶 Rigged, envelopes of cash looking game. Come on Belgium give us a fair honorable match, not Qatar cup bid like power plays/cheating like we saw v Egypt.
Bring a good fair match🇳🇿⚽️ 🇧🇪
& now the All Whites players and coaches are experienced in being in a pressure political power influenced football game, they can see they need to wrestle game management back, firmly but fairly.
They now know what can happen in World Cup games vs higher ranked teams with cynical players and backing. Got to block throw ins and free kicks a bit vs Belgium and don't let them quick throw in/free kick forward, be sharp! & Bazele must be mor3 ruthless, substitutes on earlier. Give it everything.
