Go on Lukaku, top bins.
Thank God them comparisons have died out. We're still getting one moron comparing him to Benteke though.At least we won't have to hear any Morata is better BS at the world cup
100% they need a strong LB desperately. Carrasco is a forward ultimately, and will get found out at LWB later in the tournament.The switch to a 433 is about 100x better for Belgium, predictably so.
NoLukaku hat trick incoming. Heard it here first
Lukaku hat trick, if he gets 2 more

excellent timingMeh, morata is better.
I saw that. Thankfully many posters have sense. He's being crucifiedThank God them comparisons have died out. We're still getting one moron comparing him to Benteke though.
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.100% they need a strong LB desperately. Carrasco is a forward ultimately, and will get found out at LWB later in the tournament.
I think you're being deliberately disingenuous here because you wanted to call someone out on something that wasn't necessarily there.Lukaku is terrible in the air, it's quite clearly one of his weaknesses - and one of the main criticisms why Mourinho elected to keep floating the long ball to him.
Benteke is a long ball player, Lukaku isn't.
Lukaku's strength is playing back to goal, and on the last man and using his power and pace to run behind the defence - Beneteke can't do that.
They're not similar players at all, and outside of physical comparisons, don't share much of any similarities.
Great goal from him just now too.
He's 31. Is that a problem ? Before we discuss the price.I like Mertens , is he expensive? Asking for a friend.
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.This is rubbish. The Senegalese ref for the Serbia-Costa Rica game did a grand job of letting the game flow. You're being prejudiced.
The Boateng brothers.When was the last time two brothers played together in a world cup?
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 agoWhen was the last time two brothers played together in a world cup?
Nico and Robert Kovac for Croatia in 2002.When was the last time two brothers played together in a world cup?
Ghana v Germany in 2014. Kevin Prince Boateng v Jerome Boateng.When was the last time two brothers played together in a world cup?
Different sides those twoThe Boateng brothers.
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.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.
The Berezutski brothers?When was the last time two brothers played together in a world cup?
Oh no , for the caf he is already retiring .He's 31. Is that a problem ? Before we discuss the price.

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.Tbf he's playing left wing back today.
