Just need a left foot open goal miss & he's got the perfect hat-trick for all the wrong reasons

Croatia are such a good footballing nation for their resources.

We were so lucky to have made a little money on lukaku.

Now imagine being a club spending a world record fee to bring him back for a third (?) time :lol:

Only for him to feck off anyway.

I think this would make it a lot easier. Any advantage gained by moving your body/head forward should be allowed. The offside line starts and ends at the toe.
But then that’s an unfair advantage to tall players. Especially on free kicks.

Think he's written himself out with his interview at Chelsea, he's still on loan from them too

Lukaku has given us a focal point for our attacks. If only he could finish....

I have a feeling if Lukaku had scored from the shot that hit the post, he would have done is finger to the lip “shhhh” celebration. So for that I’m glad he didn’t score and hope he doesn’t score now. *no jinxing*

no-one in particular
So Canada have actually been much better this half. Wouldn't surprise me now if they got the equalizer before too long.

Surprised no goal for either team. One of those entertaining 0-0 matches

That other chance, though the ball was out, not surprising either, Lukaku is terrible in the air, especially given his size.

Many of their best players are having a good time in top Europe or EPL teams, so not a big surprise imho.

We lost money on Lukaku. Signed him for £75m, sold him for around £60m.

Those Croatian backs are awful, especially the RB.
