Um, yeah, you know, for me, it's a little bit that I look at it different because I played against a real strong Belgium team at the World Cup in 2014 and a real strong team against Portugal.
In Portugal, normally we should win that game.
We made a mistake in the last minute and then they scored, they tied the game.
Belgium, we were completely in the game.
A lot of good saves from Tim Howard at the time, but...
Nobody had even trust in us that we can do anything.
First of all, get out of that group and everything.
So and now for me, it's like look at it and go, OK, we play Belgium.
But I think when we look at the Belgium game, the first 15 minutes, we were kind of in a game.
And then it looks like a boxing match.
The Belgium is looking and seeing and trying to figure out what we're doing.
And then at one point they step it up.
And we have no chance to come back into the game anymore.
The individual players step it up in the different makers of Belgium.
And I think the same was against Portugal yesterday.
So when you look at the game in the beginning, we had chances, we were there.
But then at one point, it feels like if the bigger countries
in the soccer world to step it up, then we have no chance to get back into the game.
And that's something we have to ask.
