This tournament has been all about the team performances so far. I'm hoping Ronaldo brings a bit of individual magic tomorrow.

I would start origi over Lukaku all day long. Lukaku at times has the touch of a rapist.

I didn't call you a troll. I said "troll harder", because that's how I read that comment. What else am I meant to read from that comment other than you trying to bait or mock?
That is not trolling, or anything like that. |

I was not trying to bait, mock or insinuate anything negative like that, all I said was that personally I don't think that they are players that a team when in desperate need of a goal, you look towards doing so.

Are you still sure after yet another Origi miss?
That's the kind of thing you say to someone in a "I told you so" sort of way. Except him not scoring didn't prove me wrong in any way.

Too many Belgians played below their normal standard De Bruyne, Lukaku, Origi were all dire by their own, not any other standard.
Enjoyed the game very much and thought Belgium gave it a good go in the second half but were carrying too many below par performers. Italy squeezed everything they could out of their players and deserved the win. |

I'm sure any remaining skeptical Chelsea fans feel a lot more at ease with their managerial appointment now.

Pretty good game. Impressed with Italy's performance but Belgium were frustrating to watch. Not much fluidity and felt they were forcing it all the time, trying to pass through the middle when there was no room. I don't think they cope very well with the pressure of being one of the favourites.

Try not to be so touchy Munch... Origi missed a couple of good chances, it happens.
He was still the right choice to bring on, you're right. |

Yet your comment towards me felt like you were gloating over the fact that he didn't score. The post I quoted didn't say what you're talking about. It was just gloating, or taunting. I don't know how else I am meant to read that post but that's all I got from it.
That's the kind of thing you say to someone in a "I told you so" sort of way. Except him not scoring didn't prove me wrong in any way. It was nothing personal towards you in a negative context. |

Okay, then yes, I am still sure that you are wrong in your thinking. Him missing a chance doesn't change anything.

Do you think Belgium having so many players playing in the Premier League is maybe affreting the team as we dont have a Winter break

Fair enough, him missing a chance doesn't prove that he isn't someone you bring on when you need a goal, and then he doesn't score, okay then, we will just disagree and move on then.

Having not been in here all night, I saw TheMunch was the last poster and confidently predicted before I entered that he'd be taking exception to a comment by an individual who I also guessed whilst watching the game would take glee in swiping at yet another of his favourite targets. The fact I was correct is not some kind of amazing premonition but a damning condemnation of the predictable antics of a seemingly relentless ivy-like presence that is choking the forum. Shallow, snide and utterly unnecessary. As usual.
Rant over.

Rant over. ![]() I have said nothing snide or shallow at all. I was taking no "glee" at anyone, so where you got that from I don't know. Please explain how anyone let alone myself is choking this or any other part of these forums?? |

You're right, with the talented players they have they could still do well but I think they will have to up their level.
