World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 27 (10 July)

Not really. KdB and Lukaku are not in the game. If they were however..

But why are they not? It somehow confirms my point. The well organised teams contain them.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Is it just me or are Belgium a little bit of a flat track bully? Seems that when they come up against a well organised team they struggle to get their attacking football to an end result.

Sorry, were you talking about Lukaku there or Belgium as a whole?

 

[gp13tot]

Varane is quality

 

[Deleted member 27855]

De Bruyne has been awful. He was awful against Liverpool in the CL knockouts too. It's becoming a habit for him coming up small in the biggest of matches.

 

[spursfan77]

Hazard was scythed down by Matuidi and again got nothing. Matuidi played the ball but that was wild.

Hazard could have got a second yellow there

Hugo > Superman

Aren't they one and the same....?

 

[goughie1966]

Nzonzi looks more like a basketball player than footballer

 

[kaz Hirai]

Muslera with 4 I believe.

Edit: Hugo has 4 too with a clean sheet here.

Though I have just read it's going to be decided by a panel rather than stats unlike the boot.

So should imagine it will be Hugo's if he wins the WC or Pickford if England do , Croatian keeper unlikely I think

Because Lukaku is shit and the duo of Varane and Umtiti is extremely good? KdB can only blame himself today.

France aren't even trying to play football now, le bus is parked.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

"Giroud had some cramp issues" Yeah, between his fucking ears.

 

[Marty]

Yeah i got that completely wrong.

Still can't belive that the Stephen Nzonzi of Blackburn and Stoke is playing a world cup semifinal for France.... Just doesn't compute.

 

[spurs mental]

Belgium don't look like scoring at all here

 

[spursfan77]

Anyone think it’s worth rescuing Witsel from China to fill our potential midfield void?

 

[Nerine]

Kev shit free kick coming up.

 

[nailsy]

Surely Belgium need to get the big men in the box now?

 

[ShaunL84]

Lukaku is a bottler.

Absolute shit house.

Fuck him off Belgium.

Just saved their bacon too.
