Belgium Exits World Cup as King Lukaku Flops
Breaking News; Belgium Exits Qatar FIFA World Cup as King Lukaku Flops Big Time.
Belgium are OUT after draw with Croatia: Romelu Lukaku to blame.
Belgium Exits World Cup as King Lukaku Flops
Yeah Lukaku is the scapegoat but It’s so hard to defend for him when he has missed like 4 chances, especially the one at 90’
As much as I hate blaming one single player for a team loss, kinda yeah. He had MULTIPLE clear cut chances there that have coated Belgium greatly.
Lukaku was visibly upset after the game, needing comforting from assistant coach Thierry Henry. He will now return to Inter, where he is on loan from Chelsea.
Eden Hazard booed as Romelu struggled to save Belgium from Qatar World Cup Exit
Eden Hazard appeared to bear the brunt of Belgium fans’ fury as Roberto Martinez’s side crashed out of the World Cup.
WIth Morocco beating Canada, the Red Devils needed three points against Croatia to keep themselves in the tournament. They failed to find a breakthrough, though, with substitute Romelu Lukaku missing gilt-edged chances in a frustrating goalless draw.
Real Madrid star Hazard has endured a difficult few years since moving to the Bernabeu, and dropped to the bench for the must-win game against the 2018 finalists. He was thrown into the fray by manager Roberto Martinez and seemed to be greeted by boos from the crowd, though some disputed that version of events.
Chelsea regret signing Romelu Lukaku
I don’t think I’ve seen a top-level striker, which I do believe that Lukaku is, miss absolute sitters with the alarming regularity that he does. I remember that one when he was up front for Manchester United that he missed against Spurs from 12 yards out when there was literally no one between himself and the goal! To say “my gran could’ve scored that!” with some of his misses does grans everywhere an injustice.
By the way, born to sweat on the pitch, Romelu Menama Lukaku Bolingoli is trending online following his unforgivable misses.
Again, the main topic is Belgium’s eliminatiom… Nobody is saying that Croatia played like they need 3 points to advance the group…They Dominated Belgium for 80 minutes.
Manchester United supporters enjoy last laugh after Romelu Lukaku’s World Cup horror show
MEN writes, “Manchester United supporters wasted no time in mocking Romelu Lukaku following his World Cup nightmare. Belgium were held to a goalless draw with Croatia to crash out in Qatar at the group stage.”
Former United striker Lukaku came off the bench at half-time to make his second appearance of the tournament… but the move proved a disaster. A string of injuries in recent months has seen the 29-year-old feature just five times for Inter Milan this season.
In their hour of desperate need, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez gambled by throwing a half-fit Lukaku on at half-time. However, to say the move backfired would be an understatement.
International football is a different game and form doesn’t play into that much. Bale wasn’t playing these past few years and Wales still picked him.
Ziyech hasn’t played for Morocco in a while and barely plays for Chelsea nowadays and yet he is the best player. Some times international football is a good escape and provide a renaissance.
No one should be surprised by this is standard; lukaku big game performance is always zero, he is either a complete ghost or missing sitters for fun in them.
WHAT HAPPENED? Lukaku came on at half-time and could have won the game for his country but was unable to score. Afterward, he took out his frustration in the Belgium dugout. However, Doku believes the striker shouldn’t be singled out.
“Yes, he missed chances but I don’t think it was his fault. We all wanted to win, we all knew what had to be done.” Doku told L’Equipe. “He had chances but it’s not just him, it’s everyone, we all tried to put ourselves in the best positions to score.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Belgium’s ‘golden generation’ seems to have come to an end after their elimination from the World Cup group stages. Their only win was a 1-0 result against Canada, who were also eliminated.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
