He was definitely at fault for that 3rd goal.

Eh?

Edit: just read above.

Puscas and Puskas are different things, commentator.

 

[MrPerfectNot]

Wow, just popped up the last few minutes of that match while I'm working - not what I expected.

And, of course, in Pickem, I think I posted it as a draw.

Wrongo.

 

[Walken]

Starting to think Belgium could be strong for this. Only problem is they are due to come up against France in the QF which is tough one

That's a strong line up and bench. Onana starting over the likes of Witsel and Teilemens

Yeah I think the front 6 especially looks decent. Faes at the back is a bit of a concern though

Was thinking the same, that generation of quality defenders didn't quite get replaced like elsewhere.

 

[Billy Dean]

Was just reading the Romania's coach cites De Zerbi and Spalletti as influences. Didn't see the game unfortunately so don't know if his team plays in that kind of style too.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Rom still making the starting 11 for Belgium?

Oh well. I guess it's a good time to bring back this:


FFS...

Interesting choices considering the furthest he's been outside of the Eastern Bloc is Greece/Cyprus.

What do we know about Debast? 20 years old and plays in Belgium. Big stage for a young player without too much top league experience.

I think De Zerbi might have been working in Romania at some point? I think Romania shares some linguistic similarities with Italy too so maybe there are also some cultural links? Not sure really

I know nothing about him. @Nymzee maybe?

I've only seen him play for the Belgian youth sides. Talented boy. Will be off somewhere this Summer.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Hopefully Onana has a great game.

Townsend just saying he can become one of the best in the world having seen him up close.

Lukaku loves to miss a good sitter these days
