Meunier is dodgy defensively true but at least he's sort of playing his position. Half the time Carrasco is going walk-about and popping up in the centre of the box, going to leave him absolutely miles out of position on the break, so he wont even be in position to make a really **** attempt at tackling Neymar.

Yeah... Have a feeling Vertonghen will play LB against Brazil. If they win here, of course.

Lukaku showing his flair with some good first touches

[Redshift]

~Goooooooooooooaaaaaallllll :D:D:D

[JD nawrat]

Hertha winger Was a beast for me on FM16.

Okay, Klinsmann's definitely speaking like an American now. 

I'd like to see Belgium move the soccerball a little bit quicker. 

Solid roster Belgium have but the way they're playing they're going out. 

Or something like that. 

[Chr1s Lawson]

Great finish

[GunmaN1905]

Do I need to search for all those posts with people saying Belgium defense is perfectly fine.

[Orzelek]

1-0 Haraguchi  

[Rashidi]

OMG what a goal...it's like an FM moment..pass the ball, pass the ball, and then a player who shouldn't screw up defensively, does and we have an unlikely hero

[Pukey]

This world cup man

[Weezer]

Jesus Christ!!

I'm not sure if all these 'bigger' teams screwing up means it's our year or we're going to get dumped out by Colombia/Sweden/Switzerland  

[JD nawrat]

Time to wake up Belgium 🔥

[G-Man11]

There ya go as advertised. Carrasco practically still in another post code when they broke into the space he should be covering.

[Redshift]

I was shouting "Just thump it!" when he stopped like that.

[Wiggins' Young Boys]

Great stuff

Huh Kawashima spent a year at Dundee Utd in 2015-16. Played 16 games before moving to Metz where he's played 35 games in 2 years, so still very much second choice there.

Signed right at the end of the January window because their other keepers were complete garbage. Still got relegated. Was more like 4 months he spent there rather than a 'year'.

[CFuller]

Hazard hits the post!

[JD nawrat]

Wow!

[georginho_juventusygr]

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

[Nordan]

Well this should be interesting. Hazard hits the post.

[DB08]

Now they've woken up.

Actually recalled that FMCU thread when I saw his name in the first half. 

[Andrew_]

Januzaj right about now

[Orzelek]

Hazard hits the post!

 

Some start to the second half  

[Redshift]

[Boltman]

Genki <3

Never bloody finished like that for Hertha 

Commentator fail yet again. He's NOT a Hertha player any more.

[PMLF]

Brazil beat Japan 3-1 in a friendly last year, so we will be happy to face them.

Keown with the 'It's your tactics' response. Brilliant.
