Lukaku is really good at crossing.
Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
On a drive, somebody please tell me the major things about this match ?
Lukaku looking very good so far.
They don’t do us any favorsI'd rather just take a look at this thread and make no comments, but it's incredible all this grudge against this Brazilian side. That's OK if you don't like how Brazil has been playing (although I'm very satisfied with their performances in the last two games) or even dislike Neymar's personality and diving (believe me... he's far from being beloved here) but trying to lump all the players with his actions doesn't make any sense.
By the way, let's see if Belgium will receive all this feeling of hatred in case they don't fulfill anyone's expectations against a team better prepared than Panamá and Tunisia like this Japanese side.

People say that but the rough area of Belgium (the Burgundian Netherlands, Spanish Netherlands, Austrian Netherlands, Southern Netherlands...) has a pretty distinct cultural and political history going back much further than many countries with one language. Many of the great composers and painters of the late middle ages and early Renaissance are recognisably 'Belgian'.
Oh Lukaku!!
Didn't understand this either. He's started well though
The way Belgium have set their stall up outside the Japan box, this could be a bloodbath.
Belgium and Japan are on the pitch. Both are having a good kick at the ball. The ball seems unfazed.
Nice nudge
Smart shove by Yoshida while Lukaku was off balance.
Push on Rom there?
He should have buried that!
Nudge by Yoshida, bit soft for a pen, but still.
Jesus, Lukaku has to score there
Yep. Enough to put him off.
Should have scored, but did anyone else see him get a shove.
The nudge in the back put Lukaku off there.
FFS
I would understand if Carasco is bad in defense but how can be this lost in attacking area
I think Neymar takes a lot of punishment. He's nowhere near as bad as Suarez when it comes to cuntery.
Lukaku should’ve gone down. Clear push in the back.
Shove on Lukaku there
Some of Japan's passing is god-awful.
Woof!
Oooh, I'd forgotten about that. Will be interesting to see if there's anything controversial.
Looks a matter of time.
This formation creates so much space for Belgium, they’re not having the problems that the other big teams are having, although they do have KdB and Hazard
Surprised Hazard didn't shoot - well he does now!
Piss off
Boring game then ?Just enough of a push to put him off.
Carrasco's not getting any better in China it seems. He's playing pretty shit. Most moves break down when he gets the ball
He got pushed ffs.
Way off balance, no one would have scored that with that push in the back.
Thanks as well. I had forgotten that that was that game.
Too strong for his own good the big lad.
Belgium upping their game now.
What a clearance
All hands on deck for Japan.
