Lukaku’s poor once again, refuses to move around in the box.
Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Alan shearer is spot on there. People complain about diving and then ask why players don't go down easily when they heve the chance. Can't heve it both ways
Lukaku has been one of their better players? This is unfair.
Another conclusion from this game is that England vs Colombia will not be a easy one, even if on theory England is favourite.
It’s borderline to say England are favourites. Especially if James plays.
Pay no attention to that poster. He's the one who said Lukaku is our own Benteke.
Time for the gatorade half time break, sponsored by gatorade. Who’s our Sprite man of the match so far?
Whole of the Belgium team (if you can call it) been terrible, I simply most interested in how our players fare.
I think James isn't fit. England best 11 is stronger than Colombia best 11. Fair to say Colombia only lost vs Japan because they played almost 90 minutes with 10 men.
Japan is giving Belgium a game.
They are one of the few teams who actually press as a team. Much prefer this style of defending as opposed to Russia parking the bus against Spain.
Id rather not
I still think that’s debatable. In international tournaments Columbia have much more pedigree in the past half decade or so.
Hopefully the team aren’t underestimating Columbia like most of our media have these past few days.
Dull game but not exploiting the bog brush’s height and physicality against this Japan team is borderline negligent. I’m not a fan of him even as plan B, but surely there’s an easily exploitable weakness there in the Japan defence that Belgium should surely be targeting, he should almost be plan A if qualification to the quarters is the end desire.
Seriously?! Jesus christ.
England are pretty clear favorites odds wise.
are you actually watching the game ? one of the better players I thought.
I thought the first half was very good despite the lack of goals. Hoping for a Japan goal now for entertainment value.
I know we've been going for a couple of weeks, but why have so many teams got the same fonts on their shirts?
I don't think they are all the same (pretty sure France's is different), but does anyone know?

only just seen Naymar and his play acting, yes he was trod on and that was wrong , but FFS Naymar acted like he had been jumped on by an elephant.
Belgium really needs to show something different here
In the past they had a lot of influnces from Brazil coaches and players, didn't know much about them before the WC, good team.
On historic pedigree there is no comparation between England and Colombia.
Now speaking between 2014 to 2018 there is a point to be made, just think England is going on a upward trend while Colombia doesn't look so strong like 4 years ago.
Still would be surprised if England beats Colombia easily but who knows, only Brazil so far won by a 2 goal margin.
