Is he really? joking of course.

Honestly I have to remind myself of this often. Remember that Lukaku debuted for Anderlecht in 2009 so in Belgium we've known him for an eternity.

He is playing in China, but word is it is because of a financial construction with Atletico's main sponsor (which really shows how sick some parts of football are).

Carrasco is expected to leave China somewhere next year.

what does financial construction even mean here? and him moving back in summer 2019 f.e., after being out of competitive footie for 1.5 seasons, doesn't seem good for his development. f.e. Eto'o was never even close to the same player after 2 years in Anzhi and I imagine China is way worse than RPL

Atletico have to pay back a percentage of any transfer fee to Monaco. Carrasco was unhappy and had to go, but they didn't want to destroy their asset. Therefore the fee was kept low on purpose so Monaco didn't get as much. It doesn't matter that Atletico didn't get much directly, because like I said the sponsor is the same.

Now they're to do with Carrasco what they want, maybe even selling him again for top dollar.

To Carrasco the chinese option was always pitched as a temporary one btw.

Shitty world cup with suspect quality but high on entertainment value. This is easily the worst World Cup since 2002. I'm looking forward to the final and don't really care who wins; it'd be nice to see a new name on the trophy.

A reminder that the bronze medal match starts in 20 minutes.

The bronze is coming home?
Belgium with only 2 changes from the semis (Dembele and Fellaini out, Tielemans in and Meunier is back). England with a completely new midfield and 1 new addition in defense (OUT: Alli, Lingard, Henderson, Young and Walker; IN: Loftus Cheek, Rose, Delph, Dier and Jones).

3:0 Belgium

For me that's the only thing I'm interested in today.

Tielemans playing Nainggolan style today btw.

Bit unfortunate they still have that third place game. This is probably the first time I'm actually watching it .

It's the EPL hoax. Our players should be playing in Spain not England and we'd be world champions.

C Mon Belgians, finish them off!

This is like a training game. It even lacks the intensity of a friendly.

All matches involving England that I've watched were like that

All medals returned home, in Europe!

Croatia-England was decent imo. And their first 30 minutes against Tunisia were good. Other than that all of their games have been just plain weird. Sweden and Colombia both refusing to hit them where it hurts.

Feeling bad for Hazard that he has to play for Belgium and Chelsea

 

[Klin]

Come on België!
