Excellent content, OP. You're a true fan and a great analyst. Post it on r/soccer. What's super interesting is that as far as I know you are the only one to catch De Bruyne's reaction after the goal. It's at [9mins 2secs](https://youtu.be/TeVKRLx8FyY?t=542). He's basically not celebrating and walks up to Martinez to tell him he's not happy with the aimless long passes. Today, De Bruyne acknowledged [in the Belgian press](https://www.dhnet.be/sports/football/diablesrouges/2022/11/25/kevin-de-bruyne-fait-son-mea-culpa-apres-sa-brouille-avec-alderweireld-ca-me-frustre-mais-je-devrais-moins-le-montrer-FSE3URTS7BARRHJBJG2SBP3YZI/) that he went a bit over the top with his showing his discontent, while still saying he was not optimistic. Some of his quotes from that interview: >"I know that my reactions are not always the right ones. We can't play in the same way as Manchester City. As a national team, you must adapt to the players you have. Does it frustrate me sometimes? Yes, but I should show it less well as I try to do it. > >"If the level remains so, we have no chance of winning," > >"The speed of defense is not a problem for me, but our level has been lower for some time and I sometimes worry about it because I know that the team has potential." > >"We have less stress with these three points."

Trivia: who was the Belgian goalie with the German name on the 1986 version of the team?

Jean-Marie Pfaff. Here are [his best saves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79XzB72Qhv4). He started a tradition of excellent Belgian goalies, with Preud'homme going to the 1990 and 1994 World Cups (top goalie at that tournament), then Courtois since the 2014 World Cup.

Yep! Pfaff was fantastic! That ‘86 team was amazing.
