    Sure someone will know this, but with Hoilett playing, how many players that have played for Cardiff City have played in a World Cup?
    quite a few in this tournament

            Because they missed the first and don't deserve a second chance, FIFA can't have too many upsets.

              Yes :hehe:

              What a game...

              What a mad world cup so far!

              Nice to see Hoilett playing really well too.

              I'm stunned, impressed, and gutted.
              I had De Bruyne to get 3 or more shots on target at 7/1 with Billy Hill 😂

                    Derrick Sullivan, Ron Hewitt, John Charles, Ken Jones, Graham Vearncombe, Colin Baker, Mel Charles, and Ivor Allchurch, all were in the 1958 squad, and all played for Cardiff at some time in the career

                          Thought Belgium were awful. They were so under the cosh that the odds actually changed significantly quite early on. Belgium had started the game odds on. Were 2.3 on Betfair inside 10 minutes.

                            Belgium will win nothing.

                            Their 'Golden Generation' have failed thus far and I don't somehow see the situation changing now.

                            I don't know what it is but there's a winning ingredient missing.

                            Is it that they're just too nice, no killer instinct?

                            Which wouldn't say much about the manager who, himself, is a good guy - but obviously not demanding enough. I suspect they'll fall at the last again and Roberto will be on his way.

                              Personally I think a lot is down to how crap they are in centre defence and centre midfield. They end up dropping so deep to cover that. Witsel and vertonghen must do something I can't see, because to my eyes they've always been crap and are getting even worse.

                                Belgium looked like a team whose time has gone last night. Martinez is surely going to have to trust a bit more in youth if they are to avoid an embarrassment if they get to face one of the better sides later on.
