Day 15 - South Korea v Belgium

Pre-Match Thoughts
The last two games of the group stage now and, once again, I chose the (in theory) least exciting game to watch. Belgium are already through, only needing a point to guarantee to go through as leaders. South Korea need to win by a margin more than the one Russia beat Algeria to progress. Which, frankly, isn't going to happen.

For Russia meanwhile, they simply need to win. A draw sees Algeria through.

It's about time Belgium woke the fuck up and if they can't against a Korean side that has looked dodgy at the back, then they'll probably get beat by the USA in the next round. I'm hoping Adnan Januzaj gets a run out, just for the experience. Perhaps Fellani will score again, increasing the hope we can sell him off to some mugs before the end of summer.

Ah, 3-0 to Belgium, with Mother Russia only making a, umm, 1-1 draw with Algeria. After two correct predictions last time, I've form to keep up! Actually, if Belgium start storming this game and the other seems bit more equal, I may turn over.

First Half
So far, so dull in the Belgium game, with the Koreans desperate to carve open a chance but the Euro boys were looking semi-comfortable until Defour decided to stick his studs into another guys shin and got sent off.

Januzaj has started, but has been unable to get into the game much. They've yet again failed to kick start in terms of their forward play, despite my continued predictions. If they do play the States, I'm backing Uncle Sam.

Meanwhile, Russia are winning 1-0 and are going through as things stand...

Second Half
Despite being a man down, Belgium were equal to anything, helped by a South Korean side that couldn't finish a wank, let alone a chance. Fellani, to give him his dues, did a fine job and played his part in the break that led to the only goal of the game.

Algeria, meanwhile, equalised leading to the score I predicted. Three out of four in a day!

Result
1-0 to Belgium, who play the US. Algeria take on Germany.

Bummer
Just as I get into my Crystal Ball swing, there's no games tomorrow. Bah!
