Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, Korea Republic

Damn

Come on Kokorin

A lot of guys are invisible atm. Vertonghen is on, Belgium gonna lose.

Mertens is doing well but he's fucking up once he gets in the box. Hazard isn't even getting the ball.

Hazard and Lukaku being marked out of the game. Belgium needs to get more players around the box when Mertens gets the ball, too predictable to defend the pass when there is only one target.

Russia may tire soon. Started out the game pressing high trying to get a quick goal, so will probably run out of steam before Belgium.

And people are wondering why Chelsea haven't called back Lukaku yet.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

He is a beast in the PL.
And when you only judge by two WC performances than your club should sell Hazard for 5 mil.

 

[antonnn]

6 in 30, who's judging from 2 WC games? He's not ready for a top side.

Hazard looking better this half since he's gotten into more space but still not good enough.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Because you immediately posted after his substitution I thought you were referring to his performances in the WC which indeed have been very poor. Sry then.

 

[PaulFCB]

Lukaku was terrible.

 

[antonnn]

No biggie. But yeah his substitution brought about the thought. 6 in 30 and 3 came in 1 game against a team everyone scores bundles against. He's good in the EPL but he wouldn't cut it for a bigger side yet. He's pretty bad for Belgium. Hazard is getting better for them but as we can all see he's still nowhere near good enough.

That guy who came on for Lukaku should start. He's been pretty decent since he's come on, a hell of a lot better than Rom. Glad Hazard managed the assist, he looked dangerous in bits and pieces this half.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

That's what Mertens needed earlier: more targets in the box when he cut in from the wing. Good job Hazard.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Lukaku was terrible.

To be frank, he wasn't getting much service, and Russia wasn't risking much.

 

[GoobiePls]

To be frank, he wasn't getting much service, and Russia wasn't risking much.

He was lazy though.

Belgium to win the wc by playing bad with narrow victories? Could see it happening tbh

 

[PaulFCB]

No, Messi will destroy Kompany and Van Buyten.

 

[Ode to Django]

Looking forward to Algeria - Korea
