First part here

We qualify for the final table

The group was very close, we have no doubt about that, Greece and the Czech Republic threatened with two games to go while Italy breathed down our necks with the danger of sending us to the playoffs, something that I would certainly not like to face because knowing how sometimes the algorithm of the game behaves, it would be very difficult to finally access.

So we had to face Greece in one of the key games of qualifying, the Greeks were not an easy opponent in the first round and now that we were all so close, I don't think they were, we had been testing Dendocker as a midfielder but he suffered a injury in the first minutes of the game, so the formation had to be changed, Nainggolan entered and Dendocker's replacement immediately came to mind (since a red cross appeared on him, indicating that the injury was serious and surely we wouldn't have him if we qualified for the World Cup) but later they will find out who he is.

Radja's entry forced me to go back a bit, De Bruyne started to play as a midfielder and things got difficult, the Greeks took refuge during the entire first half with up to 10 players in the first 40 meters of their field, it was almost Impossible to penetrate the defense and Lukaku was totally absorbed by 3 centre-backs, I couldn't even try medium distance shots with big hits like De Bruyne or Nainggolan because it was very difficult to profile myself correctly, to have any chance, honestly, I had no idea what to do, until in a center that I sent towards Lukaku, the clearance was caught by De Bruyne who played first for Mertens and the Napoli winger left me this striking jewel on the edge of the area to score the best goal of our qualifiers and be able to break for end the greek bolt

After Mertens' tremendous goal, we literally didn't attack again in the whole game and no, I'm not kidding, we didn't manage to complete a single shot on goal in more than 50 minutes, while the Greeks, beaten by the goal and in need of an equalizer to stay alive, they went all out on the attack, cornering me in my own area and scoring up to 5 corner kicks in a row, in the last one, Mitroglu beat the center backs in the jump and sent the ball to the crossbar, after this siege, we went on to play with a line of 5 and 2 restraints, a total bus, to close the result and we did indeed achieve it, although if you ask me, Greece deserved much more, they were much superior.

But hey, we are not the ones who should be sorry for what the Greeks failed and that is that, the victory classified us to the next round, Italy had not been able to get past the tie against the Czechs and we managed to separate by 3 points with one match to go, the Italians had also secured the playoffs, helped by us, of course, in the final game we beat the Czech Republic with a superb performance by Lukaku who scored a brace to come back from a game that we had started losing thanks to a goal from Shick , we were in the World Cup, the group?

Angola, Sweden and Colombia. The match against Angola was a formality, we thrashed 4-1 without too many complications and it was vital, since the other two rivals were quite complicated.

Against Sweden, the man we called up to replace Dendocker would make his debut, Fellaini, the old school of the Belgians would play the World Cup as a starter, however, in the match against Sweden, an error by Boyata at the start ended in the goal of The Swedes went ahead with a goal from Isak after the rebound left by Courtois in a one-on-one, after that, Fellaini erased all the Swedes from the map and completely dried up their attack, but we weren't fine either, Olsen stopped everything that we threw at him (which wasn't too much either) and Hazard's entry in the 70th minute didn't change things, we lost to Sweden and the classification was complicated, if Colombia had beaten Angola, perhaps it would have been much calmer for the last game, but unbelievably they tied and the group was left with chances of qualifying even for the last ones.

We faced Colombia knowing that a draw would leave us out, we had to win and we knew it, so we weren't going to skimp on defense, we went out with the Hazard brothers, Lukaku, Mertens and De Bruyne, while Fellaini acted as a containment player alongside Nainggolan, the line of 3, was signed by Alderweireld, Vertoghen and Boyata, that's how we went out against Colombia and although we suffered with the quick starts of Zapata and Cuadrado, that's how we beat and thrashed the Colombians 3-0 with a tremendous performance by Eden Hazard, the Lukaku's celebration says it all (he was present with 2 goals), we qualified as first and we expected an easy rival... Well, it wasn't like that

Spain was waiting for us in the round of 16.

Thanks for reading, soon I will bring the last part of the tournament, I have never managed to win the intercontinental and I even have a lost final with Italy against the Germans (the only one I have reached) can we make it?
