Boss, what a match I saw last night! I was sitting at Fane's on the terrace, drinking a beer, and I said: man, let me put on Belgium - Senegal to see what happens. Well, bro, in the 86th minute it was 0-2 for the Africans, I was already on my second beer and saying "that's it, it's over, I'm going home to Mioara." But no, man! What happened there, you only see that in Romania, but even here it's not that crazy.
Listen to the story: the match was played in Seattle, at the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, it was the Round of 16. Senegal scored the first goal in the 25th minute, Habib Diarra put it in after Sarr hit the bar with a header from Sadio Mané's cross, that guy from Al-Nassr. Then, in the 51st minute, Sarr scored another one and became Senegal's top scorer at the World Cup with 5 goals. I said, that's it, man, the Belgians are trash, they're going home.
But, bro, in the 86th minute, Lukaku reduced the deficit after Meunier's pass. And then the madness happened: in the 89th minute, Tielemans equalized with a header after a bad clearance by goalkeeper Diaw, the cross came from Trossard. And these two, Tielemans and Trossard, had been arguing earlier on the field like at the apartment door, they got into a fight, teammates had to separate them. And just like that, from a fight they made the equalizing goal! Tell me, man, isn't it like at home, when I argue with Mioara and then we make up and eat sarmale?
The match went into extra time, 2-2 after 90 minutes. And in the 120+4 minute, VAR gave a penalty for Belgium after a foul by Lamine Camara on Trossard. And Tielemans, the one who had argued with Trossard, converted the penalty into the top corner! 3-2, qualification! That's how it's done, bro: you argue, you make up, you score a goal and you move on.
Belgium finished Group G in first place with 5 points, after draws with Egypt and Iran and a win against New Zealand. Senegal qualified in 3rd place from Group I with 3 points, after losses to France and Norway and a win against Iraq. Now, in the Round of 16, Belgium plays against the winner of USA vs Bosnia. Man, if they take the Americans too, we'll make a scandal! I'm betting on Belgium, because they have character, bro, not like our team, which argues at the first goal conceded and that's it.
For now, I'm going to explain to my boy Brian that real football is when you argue with your teammate and then you score a goal together, not when you make TikTok after a defeat. That's the school of life, man!
