There was quite an uplifting aspect in Belgium’s comprehensive win over the USA, 4-1, other than In reality it was really enjoyable – the way they won also reminded the viewers that football is basically the sport of people who have a sense of each other and pass the ball to each other.
Those politicians or the ones in media who were of the opinion that the World Cup results could somehow be manipulated with the help of public grandstanding or a display of presidential self-confidence must have been a bit frustrated.
This time it was really proven, all of them failed in defending that great play. The only defence that would have worked is the human one.
Belgium, quietly showing the same kind of ability that people can rarely find on trending social media, just went about the boring business of football which their opponent could not even remotely come up with.
Repeatedly.
USA, at least, managed one goal, which would not have let one call the outcome absolutely disgracing, but rather an informative lesson.
We’ve heard the matter being raised many times: whether politicians should be involved in sports.
We are very grateful that Belgium settled the matter using a method typical of football only:
“Here lie four goals. Please make the referee the judge. ”
There is no way but to believe that after the game they did a kind of debriefing:
“Your Excellency, it was 4-1 to us. ”
“You count the goals once again. ”
We did. ”
“Do you have something else to say about it? ”
We did. That’s three more for Belgium.
Doubtless there will be those who would try to launch an inquiry,
Was the football not fair that we lost?
Did the goalposts favour another side?
Have the elites taken over FIFA and are they the ones who decide the ball is actually a football even if it’s mostly played with feet?
The answer in all the three cases is, kind of, that it is the last one that is correct, because that is the term for the sport for more than 100 years, right?
Also the Belgian team deserves a special mention.
You might remember a common misconception with people saying, Belgium is the place they hold the meetings without cameras, where Eurocrats gather, that it is a bit of a boring place.
That is exactly what not be done with it!
First of all, Belgium made the chocolate that everyone likes worldwide, great beer, comic strip character Tintin, and also Smurfs.
A country that can give the image of tiny blue community members who time after time defeat a tyrant self-adoring person and who is a lover of cats is a country that can definitely never be taken for granted.
The symbolism of this match was so much so nearly perfect.
Belgium simply played on the field.
The team was also for Papa Smurf!
Belgians did well that they were the only ones, apart from the footballers of USA, who united the world in that match and everyone just wanted the same thing.
Just to be fair, it was not because they were Belgian.
More More exactly it was football, football which, time and time again, demonstrates that, irrespective of what kind of influence those big guys in politics have they after all, are not capable of marking wingers.
As the matter turned out, the record will definitely need to get the exact facts right of what happened in that game:
Belgium 4 – USA 1
Football 1 – Ego 0
