41. Doubt anyone here is giving him power in their minds, just acknowleging he was a jackass for trying to interfere

Most of us know he needs to be in an institution because of his megalomania and fuckedupidness that makes him try to get into everything in hopes he finds something he doesn't fail at.

Edited to add: Yep Belgium was MUCH better team, so 'connected' to each other! I saw some passes were the passer didn't even turn to look if intended receiver was there, he KNEW. Amazing discipline and teamwork. Hope people coaching kids in the US will emulate Belgium's coaching techniques.
