Day 10: Belgium vs Tunisia, South Korea vs Mexico and Germany vs Sweden

Eh it's not really a big deal?
When a coach or teammate calls you out it can provide a kick up the backside. I know if someone said that about me it would light a fire under my ass.
They're professional athletes and lukaku in particular wouldn't let something like that get to him.
I agree they're not a big deal, just saying if a player truly appreciated his teammate, like a friend, he wouldn't even have mentioned it publicly. Criticism among teammates can be fine but it doesn't need to be made public
 
I like my Fantasy football but I gave the WC game a miss to recharge for the Premier League. Enjoying the WC without worrying about fantasy points.
Honestly I'm doing both . Don't really see fantastic as anything to worry about. Just some extra banter with friends . I have no horse in the world cup race. So I like making it interesting
 
Can anyone tell me.. Hazard's comments about Lukaku, saying they were playing with 10 men.. Were they taken out of context or was he joking or something?

It's too much of an outrageous thing to say, surely it's not what it seems, and Lukaku has been celebrating with him so he clearly doesn't have it in for him. Have I missed any part of the story?
Here in Belgium the pundits interpreted it as criticism of himself and the team (including Lukaku), because they were unable to find Lukaku. It was not really a dig at Lukaku. Of course it’s easy to blow comments like these out of proportion. Anyway, it’s clear there’s no bad blood.
 
The only meaningful thing about this group is the Belgium-England clash to see who finishes first.

Is Romelu the new GOAT now?:D
 
Difference between England and Belgium is that the latter is much more clinical.
 
Another great finish. Hazard has class.

Arabic countries having a miserable World Cup.
 
I somehow doubt England are winning this group on goal difference, at least.
 
Tunisia have the most shambolic defence in the Cup. Could easily have conceded 10 goals so far if Lingard could finish.
 
Can you imagine Jones/Smalling making that pass? We need a CB like Alderweireld.
 
Phil Neville said Hazard never ever goes down and that's his biggest strength.
 
If only Martinez could sort out that defence. They’d have a good chance of winning considering how shite everyone else is at the moment.
