Go on Lukaku, top bins.
Day 5: Sweden vs South Korea, Belgium vs Panama and Tunisia vs England (19H00)
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Thank God them comparisons have died out. We're still getting one moron comparing him to Benteke though.
100% they need a strong LB desperately. Carrasco is a forward ultimately, and will get found out at LWB later in the tournament.
Just seen that stand of empty seats!
No way Hazard has the balls to take this
Mertens being a twat.
I saw that. Thankfully many posters have sense. He's being crucified
Messi and Ronaldo are better versions of Benteke , better at everything that is
@Rajma can you keep comparing Lukaku to Benteke? He keeps proving you wrong & scoring.
Two chances two goals
I like Mertens , is he expensive? Asking for a friend.
Hope he gets another!
Eden can't beat some guy who plays in the MLS. LMAO.
I wouldn't say he is a forward, but he's an attacker, and doesn't like to do much defensive work. He has problem at Atletico under Simeone for a reason. Knowing that playing as wing back is bizarre.
I think you're being deliberately disingenuous here because you wanted to call someone out on something that wasn't necessarily there.
No two players are exactly the same but we compare players all the time without it necessarily being solely about race. Benteke on his day is better off the shoulder than you are giving him credit for and Lukaku is far from "terrible in the air".
He isn't a target man, Benteke is obviously more effective in that role, but Lukaku is superb with a headed opportunity in the box. In fact, the way both players accelerate from deep to meet crosses powerfully with their heads is very similar.
He's 31. Is that a problem ? Before we discuss the price.
When was the last time two brothers played together in a world cup?
I didn't watch that match. Tbf this ref has let more non-fouls go this half then he did the first. The ref in the Korea-Sweden match was terrible though, think there were like 50 fouls called.
Maybe an exaggeration but I expect Lukaku to score from pretty every accurate cross on his head. He surely has one of the best heading scoring ability in football now ?
The Boateng brothers.
Too old. Probably only got 2 years left in him.He's 31. Is that a problem ? Before we discuss the price.
I remember de boer brothers. Long long time ago
Thibaut is sooo good.
Nico and Robert Kovac for Croatia in 2002.
Different sides those two
Benteke has no pace, he doesn't get in behind and isn't strong in the air. He doesn't drift wide nor does he even score goals.
Theyre not similar at all.
Benteke is a stationary target who is more in line with Shane Long than Lukaku.
The Berezutski brothers?
Oh no , for the caf he is already retiring .He's 31. Is that a problem ? Before we discuss the price.
One is playing for Germany the other for Nigeria? Can’t remember
Jerome Boateng and Kevin Prince-Boateng in 2010? For Germand and Ghana, respectively
Bobby and Jack Charlton.
Ghana.
I forgot on that debacle
Thanks
Gary and Phil ?
Talking about brothers playing together, Belgiums surely seems to promote their talent in pairs, the Hazards now, Lukaku's in the last Euro, and I can also remember the Mpenza brothers back in 98' and 00'
Looked poor that deep as well. Didnt track back much from what I saw, and not made an impact going forward. No-mans-land really.
