and Italy score moments later 😆

I just told my friend that this would be a boring draw as Bonucci launched his pass

Jed

Where does Bonucci rank among the best CB's in the the world?

goon

Should be 2-0. Sunday league defending from Belgium.

Rex

Pelle should have scored.

Jens

Incredible miss.

jones

Get in

Belgium are well shit. Most overrated nation in world football, dark horses my ass

goon

How can anyone advocate spending any sort of money on Lukaku? Painfully average.

Qwiss

If Italy can beat Belgium and then Sweden I reckon Ireland would have a chance vs their second string.

Rex

They have a top squad.

That's Italy's second string playing right there. Insigne, El Shaarawy, Florenzi etc are all better than their counterparts currently on the pitch

Yeah true enough probably be even tougher. Can't believe Insigne is left out.

Lukaku is so underwhelming on the big stage.

Nice to see Vermalen playing.

He's pretty underwhelming on the club scene too. Didn't he go 10 or 11 games without scoring last season? People were calling Giroud all kind of things but at least he was dropped quickly by Wenger when his form tailed off. Lukaku kept playing 90 minutes every game and stinking up the place.

Segway

Lukaku is isolated with Bonucci and Chiellini. Any striker in the world would struggle under those circumstances tbf.

Irishgunner

Italy look great.

I'm not sure it's a good thing for Italy that Conte gets rewarded for this sillyness though. It might be good for Sweden and Ireland on the other hand if he keeps benching Motta, El Shaarawy, Insigne and Florenzi. The chance of those two picking up extra points just increased.

He was in hot form early season but yes tapered off pretty badly. I remember his performance in FA Cup final the most, fluffed a couple of really good chances.

Segway

And Wilmots is a fraud of a manager. So much attacking talent at his disposal and he plays with 3 centre backs, 2 "wing backs" who offer nothing offensively and 3 (!) DM's including Fellaini as the most offensive of the triumvirate. Hazard and De Bruyne are always miles apart from each other on the pitch without runners to support them which leaves Lukaku left alone to be eaten alive by Bonucci and co. Unbelievable stuff.

Gurgen

Should have played Mertens on the left and Hazard central. But Wilmots is an idiot.

Gurgen

Wait they have Carrasco too. And Fellaini is on the pitch 😆
