I meant for us.  Puli on the left and Hakim on the right seems like our best bet going forward.

Why not go "all in" and have Lukaku in the centre !

Alternative viewpoint: Gvardiol part of a defence that allowed a fat waste of space with no match fitness or sharpness to have several excellent chances to score ... 🙂

Why not is right.  He'll likely score more than Auba & Broja combined the rest of the season.

Then offer Leipzig cash and Sterling to get Timo back.

And that is the end of Belgium's golden generation. A generation wasted under the management of Roberto Martinez.

Probably the most overhyped national team ever. They had a good chance in 2018 and even in 2016 but the lack of winning mentality is what they were missing.

Actually whenever I think of Euro 2016, this goal comes to my mind.

The Golden Generation tag becomes like a millstone around the neck Lampard and Gerrard might admit that off camera.

They had a go in the 2nd half yet the chances fell to the wrong man, perhaps he should have gone with Batshuyai.  

Got a feeling they will be back perhaps the next WC not Euros, probably still with Courtois, Thorgan hazard, Leandro Trossard, maybe KDB and I guess Batshuyai.

Credit where it's due - let's not forget Marc Wilmots' contribution

I'd say the biggest bottleneck was Lukaku. A decent footballing striker alongside Hazard and KDB and they would have got a lot closer even under those managers.

Should have tried to smuggle in Mario Maendzuken

Martinez has gone, said it was planned before the world cup...

Lukaku value is dropping and dropping. We will be stuck with him for 3 more years and then he will go on a free imo. He cannot even take simple chances now.

Havertz on the bench again,  and my ten cents says he'll be an un-used substitute 🙂 

Anyone gone for the Japan / Costa Rica double for tonight ? 231/1 at SkyBet 🙂

Be quite hilarious if Spain and Germany joined Belgium on the scrap heap ...

Think I may join you on that. Better than spending a fiver on a scratch card 😂

Thats good odds, I got 171.5/1 on Coral!

Probably more likely to win than any of Mod's bets on a Pulisic goal LOL

Germany have seen the light there. He is like Ziyech, talented player but so ill suited to the PL and has put his form and confidence in the gutter. He  ends to go back to Germany or to Italy ASAP.

I'm not making that mistake again, next game, he'll score again.... if he can still walk!

12 minutes gone, and it'll be a hell of a lot better now LOL.

 

EDIT: now offering that double at 5270/1 LOL. I doubt even Rod Marsh and Dennis Lillee would make that bet 🙂

The season we signed Morata, Azpilicueta got 7 assists, all for Morata (and 5 of them before Guy Fawkes' Night).

Japan 2-1 Spain

Bloody hell - this is getting close now LOL.

Why didn't I put money on at 5270/1 LOL

I didn't bother watching the first half, then decided to watch just before Japan scored the first goal, call me Spanish curse.

Costa Rica score.......... wow

This has to be the most crazy group ever in the WC,
