I think it's the latter of the two.
I'm surprised that it wasn't a bit more competitive and that it looked like it did really from the first seconds.
It made me think of this old interview I did with a former Premier League player, but an American one, one of the Americans who's played in England named Jay DeMeritt, who
Played for a club, Watford, that went from the second tier in England up to the top.
It was almost 20 years ago.
And I asked him one time, what's the difference between the two?
And he said, when you're playing in the second division, you see someone coming at you and you have the thought, he's coming at me.
And when you play in the top division, by the time you finish the thought, he's already atop you.
So I've always thought about that.
I thought that was a great way to describe what it feels like.
And to me, that's how that match looked.
Belgium looked faster and, you know, keener and more tactical, more ready, more everything.
It just looked like, okay, those were great wins over Paris.
Paraguay and Australia, Bosnia.
But it looked like what I had been curious about before the match was, will this be a step up in quality?
And I kind of thought it wouldn't necessarily based on Belgium not looking all that dazzling in previous matches, but it did.
It just looked like
Oh, okay, we're in the top league now.
I think that's absolutely right.
I agree wholeheartedly with that.
