3 - Romelu Lukaku in his last three World Cup matches
vs New Zealand: 1 shot, 1 goal ⚽
vs Senegal: 1 shot, 1 goal ⚽
vs USA: 1 shot, 1 goal ⚽
Audacious.
This brother wasted a golden generation of Belgium that had prime Hazard, KDB, Lukaku and the likes.
A Portugal team stacked with world class players cannot dominate DR Congo.
It drives you even crazier when you consider that he has two midgets in midfield that has controlled football for two seasons, yet, Portugal are always on the back foot. You can argue today because Rodri and Pedri are a good match up, but I’m talking DR Congo, Colombia, or Croatia (no disrespect to them), they should be controlling the games.
Every player in this squad plays for a big club, but as a team, he cannot just make them work.
Think of Cape Verde, look at the individual players, they’re probably playing in lower clubs and maybe unknown, but as a team, they’re formidable.
This Roberto Martinez guy is a joke man. He doesn’t even have balls to make changes when necessary, he doesn’t have a style, just vibes.
He wasted Belgium’s golden generation, I was shocked he got another high-profile job with Portugal, he has just wasted them again. He should go back to Wigan, maybe he loves underdog jobs.
By next World Cup:
Bruno will be 35
Bernardo will be 35
Cancelo will be 36
Semedo will be 36
Leao will be 31
Dalot will be 30
Vitinha will be 30
Felix will be 30
Ruben Dias will be 34
Ruben Neves will be 34
Ronaldo will be 45
England’s defending was so good, but I don’t think Mexico should have been playing “cross and nod”, that’s what they play in the premier league, England players are used to that. Big Dan Burn also came on, how do you wanna score😅

Legendary.
0 - Since the introduction of yellow and red cards at the 1970 edition, no player has ever received a red card and gone on to play in his team's next match at the FIFA World Cup.
Unprecedented.
