As a Belgian fan the 2018 World Cup still haunts me a little. We had that squad, probably the best generation we'll ever have, and we couldn't get it done. The Japan comeback was insane but losing to France in the semis still stings.

But outside of Belgium, Tshabalala's goal in 2010 does something to me every single time. That sound in the stadium, the vuvuzelas. A guy from Soweto scoring the opening goal of a World Cup on home soil. Nothing comes close for pure emotion.

Ronaldo's hat trick against Spain in 2018 is up there too. 3-3, last minute free kick, the audacity of it. That whole game was just beautiful chaos.

And Germany 7-1 Brazil in 2014 still feels unreal. Watching that live felt like something was broken.

Curious what this community remembers most. Doesn't have to be a goal, could be a match, a moment, a feeling. What's yours?

A few weeks ago I posted here about Fanalyzd, an app I built basically because I wanted a Letterboxd for football matches. Didn't expect much.

150 people signed up from that thread. For a side project with no marketing budget that actually means a lot to me.

So I kept building. The World Cup starts Thursday and I just pushed a full update for it. You can log every game you watch, track which ones you attended, go through it all years later. Friendlies too, so if you've been watching the pre-tournament games you can already have a full diary running by kickoff.

150 users isn't viral. But it's 150 people who wanted the same thing I did. That feels like enough to keep going.

Fanalyzd is free on App Store and Play Store. Drop a comment and I'll send you a promo code for premium free.

Lukaku receiving the ball on his own half turning and just starting to run. And De Bruyne finishing it against that Brazil at a World Cup & Courtois keeping everything out after that.

Hazard De Bruyne Lukaku Courtois all at their best. And four days later it was already over against France.

The best generation we ever had and we never got to finish the story.

The World Cup starts in a week. Do we have a chance this year? I built Fanalyzd because as a fan I wanted somewhere to keep track of what I experience — built by a football fan for football fans. It's basically Letterboxd for football matches. Log every match write what you felt share it with your mates. App Store and Play Store.

De titel gepakt. Een historisch seizoen. Meer kan je niet om vragen als supporter. En toch wringt er wat bij mij.
Een half jaar geleden was ik meegereisd naar De Kuip, met m'n beste vriend Lars. Om 10 uur 's ochtends al vertrokken want we waren bang voor de file. Bijna twee uur in de auto gezeten samen.
Toen Saibari z'n derde scoorde, zat ik op de schouders van iemand die ik niet eens kende. Lars naast me, zag ik plots in blote bast, met z’n shirt aan het zwaaien. Als ik eraan terugdenk krijg ik terug kippenvel.
En dat is juist wat wringt. Ik wil dit seizoen niet herinneren zoals andere seizoenen. Ik wil dat gevoel onthouden. Het gevoel van Lars die zijn shirt staat te zwaaien, het gevoel na zo'n wedstrijd, na een fantastische goal. Bijvoorbeeld: hoe voelde jij je toen Weghorst ons naar de verlengingen trapte?
Over een jaar weet ik nog dat we kampioen werden. Maar momenten als de rit terug met Lars, half schor, niet stil te krijgen, herinner ik me dat dan ook nog?
Met enkele vrienden heb ik voor de lol een app gemaakt om juist die gevoelens bij te houden. Je slaat matchen op die je gekeken hebt, schrijft op wat je ervan vond, en deelt het met je vrienden. Zo herinner je je niet gewoon het seizoen, maar alle geweldige momenten. Het heet Fanalyzd — de Letterboxd van voetbal. Staat in beide app stores als je 'm wil proberen.
Zo lees ik terug bij die match: "ik voel mn stem niet meer, Saibari de goat!!"
Welk moment zou jij echt niet willen vergeten?

every football game i see, whether it's on the telly or I'm in the stadium, i write a short thing after, just what i thought about the press, the shape, why the manager made that sub, whatever stood out.

been doing it for a couple of years now and honestly it changed how i watch football. you start noticing things you'd normally just forget by monday morning. and the weird thing is going back through old ones and seeing how differently you felt about a player or a team five months ago. opinions you were convinced about that just completely fell apart.

only recently started keeping it properly in one place though, been using Fanalyzd for about a month. curious what you lot are using for this, if anything.

Three promotions in four years under the same manager. Same club that was rotting in League One not that long ago.

I don't want this era to blur. I already know it will if I'm not careful. What McKenna has done for us is going to be talked about forever and I want to still feel each game of it properly in ten years time.

That's genuinely why I built Fanalyzd. Diary for every match you watch. I've got our whole run logged and today I just sat and went back through all of it.
