Proud as a can be!

Last year on the 6th of July, Belgium and Roberto Martinez, did something wonderful. The gameplan was perfect, the execution was perfect, and the emotions were indescribable, and still are.
I can only say one word that comes close to it, but it's much more than that, Pride!

The little Belgians, with their Spanish coach beat the almighty Brasil of my hero, Pele. With Neymar, Coutinho, Dani Alves, Firmino,...

But we didn't steal it, we had a plan, thank you Roberto, and we stuck to it magnificently. We gave Brasil the ball, but when we could, we struck fastly and fierceful. Like the second goal, a magnificent piece of art. Where Lukaku manages to hold on to the ball in the midfield, pass 4 Brasilians, and pass it to the Kevin De Bruyne. He controls it, sees where he wants to shoot it, and scores without a doubt in his mind. Confidence, character and decisiveness were our main qualities that day. And there was Courtois, he saved balls like only he can. And Brasil were back to Copacabana.
Eventually we would end up losing to France in the Semi-Final, by very ugly play by the French. But we came in Third, and were the moral winners of the tournament!

Here you can see the goal by KDB on the tunes of the soundtrack of Titanic. That's something a Sportsnetwork in Belgium just likes to do... ;-) Enjoy, this masterpiece.

Sincerely,
