Played Rom.
Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Hold on for God sake
If Belgium concede, Martinez has fecked up.
Martinez might just lose it for Belgium here .
Taking lukaku off is.... questionable
Dangerous taking off Lukaku, what if Brazil equalise
Yeah, apart from a few breaks it's been all Brazil.
I noticed it the first half of their first match and it's been driving me mad in every game since.
If Belgium don't win this, it'll be on Martinez. The midfield needed freshening up 15 mins ago. Where's Dembele and/or Tielemans? Fellaini had a great first half but he's dead on his feet.
Bizarre he’s taking Lukaku off. Could regret that in extra time if we go there
Lukaku off 
I've noticed that in a few games this tournament. Initially thought it was just because he's a greedy bastard but now not so sure..
Risky!!
What a fecking sub that was.
He comes across as a total bitch, and considering his previous at Chelsea he's hardly going to get the squad going behind him in tough times.
Hazard on no9. This never ends good
Terrible decision to take off Lukaku. Less options on the counter and if brazil makes the 2-2 you have taken off a goal scorer and good penalty taker
Belgium have got this.
Risky sub if it goes to extra time. If it goes to penalties though, Lukaku isn't a great penalty taker. Daft sub to do now.
Tielemans. Sign him up.
Rom not too pleased with Martinez it appears.
Lukaku looks really tired so I can understand Martinez taking him off.
Casemiro would have his ciggies out for that task.
France will be looking at that Belgian and Brazilian defence and be thinking fuzzy thoughts.
I think only Belgium would be a threat if Lukaku can get a quick brace against them early doors.

Take Lukaku off with the possibility of ET? Madness, just when I was praising Martinez's tactical tweaks for this game as well.
Scored 11, missed 5. His record isn't good.
Tielemans (replacement) has scored 16, missed 3.
ROM not happy with Martinez
"He still looks sharp Hazard doesn't he?"
5 minutes ago they were putting a shit pass on a counter down to him being knackered. Make your mind up.

I can see why he took Lukaku off, Brazil are overloading the midfield. They really should see this through with some gamesmanship though.
Pretty sure everytime hazard has played in the 9, we've lost.
It just invites pressure
It just invites pressure
If brasil score, belgium is fecked
Fellaini has been great at breaking up play but shit at simple passes
I wonder what problem Hazard has with Lukaku . He criticised him after the 1st match for no reason . I am pretty sure I saw him berating Luķaku for something in 1st half and then they had an argument after . Looks like he rather loose the world cup than involve Lukaku in one of his moves . He just doesn't seem interested in passing to him .
wow hazard
Hold on Red Devils!
Would he feck, though I agree Casemiro is a better holding midfielder (defensively) he can't mark 3. Brazil should have played Paulinho deeper imho.
Didn't know Henry's still coaching Lukaku.
