Belgium v Tunisia - Match Thread

[dhermon]

Cracking match so far!

[Kitchandro]

This is a proper game, one of the few where the tempo is high and there’s space to play in. Both teams going for it now.

 

Tunisia are actually awful, I’ve no idea how they’ve made a game of this or against England, but they’ve obviously got spirit that some other teams haven’t had.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Benny's gonna get more World Cup minutes than Vards! It's a mad world!

 

[StanSP]

brilliant from Neville there.

Assumes that because Benalouane plays for a Premier League club that 'he'll know all about Lukaku playing in the Premier League'.

 

He's only played once in the league  

 

Neville knows fvck all.

[PhillippaT]

lol@Benny  Does he ever make a 'normal' tackle? :p

[KJT]

This team Tunisia are quite decent when they play football its just their final touch in the box that lacks a world class quality player

It’s not so much about the quality of the player, as what they are behind on the team sheet.  Benny merely needs to crack the slowest, most turnover-prone back four in this tournament.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Terrible from Benny there. Ambling back into position, not tracking Lukaku, then trying and failing to play offside.

I hope that doesn't spoil the second half - it's been a good game so far....

Benny did quite well in the first half up until that goal.

[shen]

Scrap defenses... games are far more entertaining without them!

[Brooksy]

This is what we should have done to these

Rock solid 2½ minutes before conceding. 

[MC Prussian]

Bummer, but Romelu's on fire this tournament.

 

Well, Panama and Tunisia aren't particularly renowned for their defensive prowess.

[foxes_rule1978]

Tunisia never had a shot on target apart from the penalty against us so they have improved in that sense but at a cost it seems. 

[Webbo]

Benny should do us a favour now and kick some lumps out of the Belgium's for us.
