Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Brazilian Villain]

I've been very unimpressed with Lukaku.

..looks like a Rhino in quicksand...desperate

He's never been the most graceful of footballers.

Belgian could do with bringing on Enzo Scifo for the second half.

[martin o`who??]

Well worked free kick.
Could have been one of ours.

reminded me of the goal Batistuta (what a player he was) scored against us a few World cups back.

[AV82EC]

Belgium’s final ball into the box has been abysmal.

[Dogtanian]

I need a plugin for the TV that automatically mutes whenever there is any danger of Roy Keane opening his arsehole gob.

[Exeter 77]

Tielemans has looked like a former pro playing as a ringer in a Sunday league game - just so much better than anyone else.

[Pat McMahon]

Well worked free kick.

I think Holland scored a very similar goal v Argentina in Qatar

In 98? It was Zanetti, wasn't it?

[Dogtanian]

Didn’t look too bad in the replay, but obviously its hurt him.

'Twas. Watched it back a few days ago.

Batistuta scored the early penalty.

[Villa in Denmark]

Another good save by Courtois.

[Dogtanian]

Yep, this can go either way.

[olaftab]

Two more opportunities wasted by Lukaku and De Bruyne few seconds apart

[Dogtanian]

Lukaku looks so slow, he’s the last to react.

[Exeter 77]

Lukaku looks so slow, he’s the last to react.

And has the turning circle of a super-tanker if his attempted shot on the turn is anything to go by.
