Round of 16 - Argentina vs Switzerland (17:00 BST) & Belgium vs USA (21:00 BST)

[DJ]

After that stretched leg by Vertonghen. Jones sure has to take some physical abuse here ^^

[scott MUFC]

Lukakuuuuuuuu

[dudge7]

Lovely goal

[el sid]

LuKKKAAAKKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[JD nawrat]

Oh man what a finish.

Said Lukaku should have started. Don't rate Origi one bit.

[thegr8anand]

Good goal

[Anti Spiral]

Game over

[sean_oc16]

Nicely done Belgium.

[Rio_V]

Well it was a nice run.

[darren1983]

Game over.

Belgium are all hype, will get found out in the next round I feel.

[ArsenalFan7]

commentators acting like the game is already over

[SRL88]

Well that should be that.

Belgium definitely have enough to beat Argentina.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Lukaku delivers!

[JD nawrat]

Lukaku gets a chance and he immediately hits it high like all 40 shots before him should have been too.

[Helarxe]

USA

Belgium

[Marc Albrighton]

Howard literally just drops before he even knows where the shot is going :confused:

[Pukey]

Oh man what a finish.

Said Lukaku should have started. Don't rate Origi one bit.

Origi played well, plus bringing on Lukaku against a shattered defence is no bad thing

[player_65]

As mentioned, low shots weren't working. See what happens when they lift one slightly

[craigcwwe]

2-0.

Good ball from KDB and finish from Lukaku.

KDB returned the favour from Lukaku for that goal.

[JD nawrat]

Game over.

Belgium are all hype, will get found out in the next round I feel.

According to the Belgians on here - "we play for results and nothing else"

so presumably they're happy with this performance. TBF, can't take it from them - been solid defensively and created plenty of chances. Just need to start taking those chances and they'd be formidable.

Regardless, they're not good to watch

[thegr8anand]

Origi did good. Lukaku is simply too good against this tired defense.

[JD nawrat]

Origi played well, plus bringing on Lukaku against a shattered defence is no bad thing

Nah. Origi could have won the game for Belgium with the amount of chances he had.

[PaulHartman71]

Oh man what a finish.

Said Lukaku should have started. Don't rate Origi one bit.

Origi had a great game? If he hadn't been so good at stretching the American defence they wouldn't be as tired, allowing Lukaku to dominate them like he has

[georginho_juventusygr]

Green the wonder kid!

[aiston]

Well that should be that.

Belgium definitely have enough to beat Argentina.

Can see Belgium playing into Messi's hands though, leaving a lot of space for Messi to counter. Saying that, if Di Maria is so against passing to his team mates then Belgium have little to fear.

[noikeee]

Origi played well, plus bringing on Lukaku against a shattered defence is no bad thing

Absolutely.

Origi's very good at linking up play whereas Lukaku's more of a raw physical guy for a direct game. Origi made sense at 0-0 (and created some chances himself plus was unlucky to head at the bar), Lukaku made sense vs a tired American defense and even more now being 1-0 up as he's tearing them apart with physicalness.

Belgium is looking increasingly impressive to me every match, and I think Argentina might well have a very bad time facing them.

[JD nawrat]

Origi had a great game? If he hadn't been so good at stretching the American defence they wouldn't be as tired, allowing Lukaku to dominate them like he has

As the focal point of the attack and the man they rely on to score the goals, he had a very poor game. His running and dribbling was fantastic but that's a winger's job, not your No.9.

[Bracken]

Belgium have a superb side for counter attacking, but not for dominating possession (very similar to Chelsea this season), could work in their favour against Argentina

[LewisQ]

Belgium have created like twenty chances in this game, don't know how anyone could lambaste them and praise the US.

[av3ry]

2 minutes in and goal. Ha. Ha. Ha

Belgium could get another two, makes it even more frustrating that they didnt get it done in normal time.

[noikeee]

Regardless, they're not good to watch

You're simply not watching the same match I am.

[Emersonlfc]

Game on.

[ArsenalFan7]

Game over was it?

[JD nawrat]

You're simply not watching the same match I am.

Take the chances then yeah I'll praise 'em.

WHAT A FINISH. GET IN. COME ON USA!

[Anti Spiral]

Usa usa !!!!!

[PaulHartman71]

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal ...

[el sid]

What a goal

[Pukey]

Nah. Origi could have won the game for Belgium with the amount of chances he had.

Should have scored but other than that he played well (yes yes, strikers job to score etc)

Cracking finish, mon USA

[georginho_juventusygr]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!

[sean_oc16]

Another impact sub.

[McMaster#28]

[JD nawrat]

Great ball/run/finish (even if a bit fortunate with it). Get in. Come on USA!

[thegr8anand]

That was a great goal. Game on. mon murica.

I don't fault them for it at all - fair play to them, there is more then one way to win a match. As a neutral I find them boring and would rather they didn't progress really.

[aderow]

Oh look. Julian Green

[Helarxe]

Surely not

[DJ]

Game ON! Here comes a real American story!

[ringwoodrob]

They thought it was all over:D

[darren1983]

Lovely finish that - come on USA!

[dudge7]

Should just make all games 30 minutes long.
