Those 'clumsy' players have their roles and they are playing their roles excellently well. Height and physicality serve their purposes. The Belgium team is well balanced.
Yeah those counters would not be so effective with Casemiro in there. He plays that role brilliantly for Madrid. The other 3 are good going up and down but aren't as defensively solid as Casemiro.
Lukaku has been playing like R9 this tournament. Excited for the new season.
Lukaku is superb
Who ? This is Caf after all. Not gonna risk it.
No one has judged the other threads. You'll be sweet. Be a pioneer
I would ordinarily agree with you, but do you really want to face this Belgium side? It will be a hell of a semi-final if they come through.
Fixed
Game needs more Fred
Oh yeah forgot he was injured last match, no clue if he's fit or not.
Think I owe an apology to Lukaku even if I still not fully convinced, fair fecks.Time to pull out this gem of a post from earlier on in the World Cup:
He's been absolutely imperious so far. Brazil can't handle him at all.
Belgium look immense today and you have to give credit to Martinez, 4 at the back when defending, 3 when attacking. Getting the best out of KDB (who along with Lukaku) has been the best player on the pitch today. Fellaini has been excellent if lucky not to be booked. They look the real deal today.
Lukaku, Hazard and De Bruyne with a counter-attacking master class in that first half. What a joy to watch!
This isn’t over yet, though. If Brazil pull one back, Belgium will be shaking in their boots. Another goal for Belgium, preferably Lukaku, should seal the deal though.

Let's see Fred the PED

When you think these posts come from United fan, it's ridiculous. If it was a rival fan I would have been Ok with that.
Not for you team but for Argentina
He deserves a goal for his hard work in these last two games.
Danilo technically though he got injured and is out
Having Casemiro would have probably helped in dealing with the counters
Not sure about Fred. If they lose he'll get destroyed in the press as the rest of the playing team is going to.
Casemiro badly missed.
Lukaku inspires so much fear onto the Brazilian defenders, he is creating heaps of space for his teammates. Amaxing.

If Belgium wins the World Cup De Bruyne should change his football name to Kevinho. What a perfect shot.
This some Friday Night Lights shit on BBC.
Glad Belgoum went 4 at the back at least defensively. Thought Martinez would be too stubborn to switch out but credit where it's due! Theyve been class
Only if he improves on the second half, he’s forcing too many plays, missing passes and losing possession too many times.
There's that England thread.
I can tell you really want to. Be ready to hit post at the final whistle.
France will match them. Scoring first will have a huge impact on who comes on top
I love Lukaku to bits but that's a bit sacrilegious. There hasn't been a central striker since that comes remotely close to having the package of explosiveness, dribbling, shooting and movement that R9 possessed.
Huh?
Lukaku has done lots of off the ball work which has been fantastic in creating space. He has often been directing play to his teammates through his movement and every Belgium attack which is leading to something worthwhile has Lukaku in thick of it. It is you who seems not serious if you think Fellaini has been more impressive. Good game so far for Fellaini but Romelu the best Belgian player for me so far.
Belgium - France will be a great game if both decide to go for it.
The tunnel cam is cool. Anyone speaking Portuguese grasped what Marcelo was saying?
YES
Come on Rom, get your goal in the second half.
Brazil was so slow and labourous.
Firmino on for Willian
Not sure if I want him on the field given the result and circumstances.
So jesus on wc so far. 5 games, zero goals, zero shots on target. What a striker
