How did that stay out? Croatia used up all their luck there.
Lukaku fortunate the ball went out there.
Croatia look to be playing for the draw, always a dangerous tactic.
This is why the penalty was disallowed. Crazy stuff.
What was the story there with Whelan saying Infantino is Maloney’s mate?
Darragh seems very excited that Thorgan and Eden Hazard are brothers, he must've only just found out
A joke, I'm guessing? I assume that Maloney's been quite critical of him.
Not really sure how that wasn't a backpass... it looked like he just got way too much on it and passed it back far harder than he intended. But he really seemed to have purposefully steered it back towards his keeper.
Yeah it’s just that Maloney seemed to snap back saying “how is he my mate?”. It sounded awkward to me anyway.
Lukaku having a rough time of it. Guaranteed he gets the winner
Croatian defence looking nervy. Crazy from Livakovic not coming for the ball there and his teammates fuming with him.
Anthony Taylor.... he's the bloody worst. Would've been a lovely move.
Ref has been doing that all tournament so not sure why RTE commentators need to moan of that free
LUKAKU!! WTF!?!
Not Belgiums or Lukakus day
Lukaku is laughably bad, holy ****.
Lukaku has to score that. Crazy.
Big miss by Lukaku. Livakovic's head looks gone.
Lukakau missed 3 if not 4 huge chances
Lukaku wouldn't score if the goals were from corner flag to corner flag.
Gvardiol has been immense.
Lukaku proving what everyone knows to be true about him.
never has been, nor ever will be, that guy.
Unlike his senior colleague, who is always across such info...
Belgium out.
Belgium should have won. Riots in Belgium tonight?
Morocco top the group, Belgium go out. Mental stuff..
Jayus, they won't let Lukaku back in Belgium.
Sad for Belgium, always played proper attacking football in the last few tournaments whether they win or lose
All the money clubs spent on Lukaku, what a waster, no football accuse or positional sense at all. If the ball does not fall to his feet or on his head he hasn’t a clue.
Can't blame Martinez for those Lukaku misses
Delighted Belgium are gone, a team with a number of big egos such as Hazard and Lukaku who think they are far better than they are.
Martinez the manager isn't great either.
