Croatia v Belgium, Canada v Morocco - Thu 1st Dec, 15:00 | Group F | World Cup 2022

[Alan Harper's Tash]

People chat about VAR being corrupt, when it’s far easier for a player to be on the take and miss chance after chance!

Not that I’d accuse Lukaku of that, just for Ric’s lawyers’ sake.

Not expecting it .......

How can a former pro footballer (I use that term loosely for Jenas) say that a centre forward wasn't expecting it. ust like a keeper in cricket has to expect every ball to be missed a CF has to expect the ball to come to him.

Little Pep does look very good, to be fair.

Big fan of Sosa. Were we ever genuinely linked with him in the Summer? I feel like we’ve set Cancelo as the LB so look for back ups instead of starters.

His crosses have gone out of bounds. He has killed attacks

Just a pity both of these can't qualify

 

[super_city_si]

Lukaku is croatias very own iron dome

 

[MCFC1993]

Got to question why Lukaku and Doku didn't start this game.

Misses aside, Croatia have been a mess since they came on.

Christ. Lukaku. Never known a striker to be so lethal one minute (Everton, WBA, Inter a few seasons back) and then have games like this.

Maybe Edin.

What a player Gvardiol is too.

 

[Josh_D]

Gvardiol is keeping Croatia in this. Very good player.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Doku is lively and Lukaku is in great form for Croatia.
