Lukaku is great and all, but the whole touch thing isn't a myth.
Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
The not so smooth part of Lukaku's dribbling 
But with no end product.
bahahahaha lukaku
I didn’t realize lukaku was that fast
Lukaku is rapid!
Lukaku: 60 acceleration. 96 Sprint speed. 14 ball control.
That run was reminiscent of Fellaini against Bayern
Red Rom speed was just too much on that one
Oh please.
It would be a red card to the player making the challenge. But they can't award a penalty if the balls out of play.
Can we sign Muneir?
The cheek of the little fecker, giving Rom shit about going missing in the first game. He's been Belgium's worst player for me.
Get that control sorted Rom and you’re world class
Were you asleep during the 1st half?
So who does Belgium have instead of Meunier? He is out against France.
Lukaku needs to be tested for drugs! The guy is pumped.
The whole suspension system is a joke during tournaments
Hazard is so frustrating. In term of selfishness i think he only seconds Neymar on this pitch.
See what’s weird is in Brazil he used to get the absolute crap kicked out of him and he seemed to take it pretty well. He’d at times just bounce off people trying to smash him. Saw him get taken at waist height once, and that time he stayed down but there wasn’t the histrionics.Has anyone considered that poor Neymar just has a really low pain threshold?
Wasn’t Neymar until he got injured on fire the last WC and for this one most likely to get remembered as a diver and pansy.
If I criticise that run he'll probably end up scoring the next goal
You should not be rewarded with a penalty at least, because the purpose of a penalty is to reward your team with a chance to score a goal which was prevented by a foul of the opposing team inside the penalty box. But if the ball was out or was going out anyway how would you be able to score a goal even if there would have been no foul?
So the ref couldn’t go and view that foul to see if it’s a two footed lunge? Ball in play or not?
Not difficult
I can’t stand looking at Neymar’s face.
If Brazil score in the next ten minutes they will also get an equalizer.

Meunier will be a big loss... Probably see Carrasco come back in for the semis?
Meh, tons of wingers/forwards do that.But with no end product.
If Lukaku had a first touch, he would be Cristiano Ronaldo with more muscles
Dumb tackle for a ban.
So what is fifa going to do about this play acting? It’s actually out of control now

Hazard been down in this game more than Neymar.
Meunier so dumb for getting a yellow there
Irrelevant, he was completely out of control of it and the decision was that he rode Kompany’s tackle rather than Kompany bringing him down.
Lukaku is an absolute machine. You can see how much influence Henry is having on him. The way he picks up that wide position and leaves two centrebacks in a horrible position to defend and then attacks from wide with acres of space between fullback and centrebacks. He isolates the Fullback and leaves two centrebacks having to deal with De Bryune and Hazard getting up to full speed before they reach them.
This is what Brazil gets for not playing Fred the Red.
That ball is clearly in
Ball out as contact was being made. No penalty.
Idiot puts on Augusto instead of Fred.
I know Lukaku is on fire but let's calm down
Coutinho holding off Lukaku there....
We need to get Hazard this summer. Phenomenal player, I don't care what any of you say.
Lukaku should vary his game. It is always the same straight line run
We all know Lukaku's touch isn't the best. That blistering run then past Miranda? was unbelievable and he must be knackered at this stage of the game. He literally has so much to his game that if his touch was amazing then he would be in contention with the best attacking players in football.
Foul because he is small. Stupid decision
How was that a foul for Lukaku?
