The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[MARKakaJIM]

Great counter, perfection from de Bruyne.

 

[Local Wolf]

Gotta feel for Japan

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bloody hell I don't believe it!!! Martinez you lucky fucker

 

[Alan]

Oh, the is crushing.

 

[Jinky]

Gutted for Japan but realistically Belgium are much more capable of knocking out Brazil.

 

[Jack Regan]

Fucking hell! Why didn't someone block or foul Courtois?

 

[Premier Quality]

Bloody hell I don't believe it!!! Martinez you lucky $#@!er

Football genius tbf

 

[Banjo]

I know there's a manichean tendency on internet fora but I think there have been far poorer managers than Martinez in premier league history. He's average, nothing better and nothing worse.

Chadli with the winner then. Mad game

 

[Templeton Peck]

Well that's Belgium at full throttle then. Not quite Brazil 70.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Shame. Japan played really well. I'm quite relieved we didn't play them!

 

[AndyWolves]

Best thing Lukaku did all night was dummying that cross

 

[nimrod]

Lukaku’s best moment that dummy. Was a great break.

 

[Johnny75]

An absolutely cracking game. Feel for Japan.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Gutted for Japan but realistically Belgium are much more capable of knocking out Brazil.

They are I guess. Hope they do but I think it is unlikely. Gutted for Japan.

Anyway what a fantastic game.

 

[Keef]

Proper gutted for Japan,looks like Martinez is a tactical genius,two subs who equalised and score the winner*

*taking the mick before you start

 

[Jinky]

Bobby M turning it around with his Fellaini substitution.

MANAGERIAL GENIUS.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Japan appeared to expend a lot of energy in the first half so would always be vulnerable at the end unless they were still 2 up - they weren't at that point

 

[Freddeno]

Belgium through on quality, great game by Japan...Fellaini the role player

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bobby M turning it around with his Fellaini substitution.

MANAGERIAL GENIUS.

We'll see I guess! I am more confident of my position on that argument.

 

[Alan]

I mean you can't deny that the game turned immediately upon subbing on Fellaini and Chadli.
