Belgium appears to only have 4 real players. when they go off the court, disaster. Spain has a much deeper bench. QED.

As a fully paid up member of the Marjorie Carpreaux fan club, I object to the suggestion of only four . |

Not terribly impressed with the substitution patterns of either, but especially Belgium. It seems random. Ok, let's put this bad player in and see just how much of a hole she can dig for us. Ok, let's put in a second bad player and see if she can't dig the hole even deeper...
I've appreciated Wauters in the past but she is obviously past it. Of course they only have Lindskens in the middle so they need a backup. It's a problem when you're a relatively small country... And Raman is a disaster which doesn't even wait to happen.

It's a problem when you're not a BASKETBALL country.

So Belgium has it down to 4. Now he'll start throwing in random subs.

Right on cue she misses a wide open layup. We want Meeseman!

I've always thought 'experience' in an event was overblown, so cringingly I say that perhaps Belgium's lack of experience in the World Cup is biting them in the butt.

For two reasons:
1. In AMERICA Belgium's National coach might
qualify as a "decent" Prep HIGH SCHOOL coach.
2. Belgium has proven to be a ONE TRICK PONY

Baseball isn't even in the Olympics. Who cares? Now, Softball, with the defending Olympic Champions Japan set to defend their title in 2020 is something worth watching.
