    Hazard wants to be the hero but all he’s doing is hindering them in the final 3rd

    Thank God I'm not the only one, he tried way too hard, a few simple crosses he should have put in but instead held the ball and got swarmed

    What a goal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Finally gave him a chance!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,625 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    He really should have 2 and hes been living off scraps.
    That flick by the CB in first half was unreal to deny Rom


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,741 ✭✭✭Hococop


    Lukaku again


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,779 ✭✭✭✭jayo26


    That second goal loved it he has bags of pace when he needs it he showed it for us a few times like that too last season.

    Nice finish there for the big man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,306 ✭✭✭✭Drumpot


    Is De Bryune playing the same deeper role that people point to why Pogba can’t play well for united?. Apparently he’s not crazy about that role but he still puts in a good performance.

    GET IN!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 43,004 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Had €2 on Lukaku to score twice at 7/2 :D Thats a nice result.

    Fifa WC Lukaku will get a nice upgrade too :D

    Hazard is selfish as fuk at times he had loads if opportunities to put in across there for Rom in second half and he dribbled and wasted possession.

    I think thats why a lot of the big teams are struggling tbh; loads of big egos wanting their WC moments so are stupidly playing as individuals. Meanwhile the smaller teams, Iceland, Switzerland, etc, are playing as more cohesive units....

    Factor in they are the go to guy at their clubs, it must be hard to adapt from a role where everything goes through you to giving the ball off more than you normally would.

    Ya thinking same thing last few days. Was really obvious France where at same thing other day Neymar at it last night.

    If Belgium had a better manager and started playing for each other bit more they would have proper chance this summer!

    Tbf he does have to adjust his game playing for Belgium. Usually at Chelsea the best thing to do is ignore the star striker.

    I really don’t think that Martinez has it in him to pull Hazard up on that.. also why isn’t vertongan captain?

    Young starts at LWB for England. He really has reinvigorated his career the last two or so years.

    Best left back in the world in my opinion ;););)

    He is also lucky there are no decent english left backs

    Surprised Rose didn’t start being a natural left footer, though i suppose Young can move inside and help Henderson out in the middle on his natural leg

    Been waiting for this all week, belgium are my team in the cup this year hoping they don't disappoint or I'm going to support Portugal. ;)

    I got them in our sweepstakes at work.. Would be nice if they won it, as the sum of cash to the winner is very, very nice indeed...

    Suggests Southgate wants specific characters who apply themselves in a certain way in his team...

    Yeah only thing I'd be worried about is cr7 has a hatrick against Spain and still has morroco and Iran to play lol its not unimaginable to think he could have 10 goals after 3 games.

    I was going to put the money on him but the odds were crap.
