Euro 2016 Day 4, Spa v Cze, ROI v Swe, Bel v Ita

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Lukaku has 60 PL goals in 149 PL games at the age of 23

yeah but just watch him, he's lost all his speed and the ball just bounces off him

 

[Shadydan]

Lukaku is a good striker but his first touch has always been a tackle, it can work but when you have technical players such as Hazard and De Bruyne around you that ball needs to stick to get the team up the field.

 

[ardiles&villa]

I have always liked mertens. Good player.

His first touch has been very poor

 

[werty]

Really like the formation Italy are using.

They have been vulnerable on the break though

What's vermaelen done to warrant a place in the starting eleven?

What about Fellaini? Seriously, this Belgium side is a joke.

Like how wilshere could get picked in the past?

 

[noiseboy55]

Belgium have got this completely wrong.

 

[michaelden]

I love Italy! Gigi is still a beast and Chielini is just a legend!

Belgium don't have a left back and Vertonghen has played there before.

Past? Surely present?

 

[YiddoTom90]

Feel for dembele, deserves to start over fellaini

 

[Mr Pink]

Should be Verts and Toby at CB. Nainggolan and Dembele in the two, Mertens, De Bruyne at ten, and Hazard. Probably Origi up top.

That team would be very good IMO. Exceptionally strong spine but balanced.

Fuck knows who plays at FB.

 

[easley91]

Belgium don't have a left back and Vertonghen has played there before.

Plus Kompany is injured. Vertonghen would be at left back regardless.

You mean besides barely getting a game the last 2 years?

 

[faymantaray]

Feel for dembele, deserves to start over fellaini

Just tuned in, where is he???

 

[goughie1966]

I wonder if it's possible to sack a manger during a tournament.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Belgium don't have a left back and Vertonghen has played there before.

I would seriously take Jordan Lukaku at LB over Vertonghen if it meant Vertonghen and Alderweireld together at CB.

 

[YiddoTom90]

Lukakus touch, damn
