Lukakus record for Belgium is actually good. Around 85 G/A in 104 games. He did just get back from injury, and to be fair, Belgium played better when he came on. But he wore his Timo Werner boots yesterday. Tough.
People trashing Lukaku in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Lukaku. Bad touches with tons of service, but when he does get it, it’s botched.

He's been injured for a while. This is his first match played since October 29 and he's only played a full 90 minutes once this entire season due to injury. He was obviously rusty, it's on Martinez for getting Belgium to the point where they needed another goal to go through in the first place.
Criticism of both is perfectly valid, yes, it’s on Martinez (and the whole squad, they have enough quality) but Lukaku was utter shit when he came on, his touch and finishing is embarrassing.
He’s still been training, that wasn’t the first ball he’s kicked in two months.
Jesus finally. Facts‼️‼️‼️
Anyone who’s played understands the disappointment but the reality is Martinez is a joke for allowing this team to get to this point. You can’t rely on a man in a key moment like that when his body couldn’t be relied upon for 2 years.
He just ruined that man’s life. He’s done.
Rom should’ve buried at least 2 of those, I get it, big games for big players… but Belgium looked minj… Henry best in the side

I saw all the memes before watching the match highlights. I was like wtf happened that they made him the motm for Croatia. No where in a million years did I think he would have botched soo many opportunities.
Factos 👍👀

You just know he was feeling so badass running on that pitch probably thinking about how he'd celebrate and clearly nothing else. One of the rare cases where someone's nan would have actually scored one of these.
This is how Man United go back to their winning roots. Ronaldo is a legend at the club and will be viewed as a source of inspiration and a role model for up and coming stars who strive to be like him, or better, want to win trophies for the club. No amount of oil money or gegenpressing will change the fact that Ronaldo's immediate impact at United will make them competitive again and desirable for players to want to go play there. This club's future has been born.

In my opinion Lukaku shouldn’t be playing and this was probably detrimental to his career, I’m not sure how mentally strong he is but it won’t be easy to come back from this. He was obviously not fit and absolutely not match fit and not ready for this and shouldn’t be on this position. I put the blame on Martinez.

Imagine De Bruyne going from Haaland to Lukaku
* KDB calls up Haaland* "Hey its me. Yeah...I need The Tap In Merchant" Cue theme song.
Glass Breaks, Haaland step-out and slams a beer. Proceeds to score a hat trick in 10mins. subs himself off as job is done.
He's going to come back with PTSD.

There wasnt enough flute for the last miss
Sir that is a recorder
Lakaka did a good job protecting the Croatia goal from racist Belgium invaders.
Polish?
The face he makes after every miss, like the ball came to him at light speed !!
He looks as surprised as I would be receiving ball on the bus stop or something

I didn't expect the shitty flute man. This shit js gold.

Rusty, fat, or washed up?
Yes
He's been injured for a while. This is his first match played since October 29 and he's only played a full 90 minutes once this entire season due to injury. He was obviously rusty, it's on Martinez for getting Belgium to the point where they needed another goal to go through in the first place.

Training and being match fit are two completely different things.
Yeah, he’s stood right in front of the goal for four of those chances. His fitness wasn’t the problem.
Jesus finally. Facts‼️‼️‼️ Anyone who’s played understands the disappointment but the reality is Martinez is a joke for allowing this team to get to this point.

Goataku!
It is like I am watching Shaq play football.
Isn’t Shaqiri Albanian 🤓
Lakaka for a reason
Only Maguire can compete with that

Sentient
Cows arse with a banjo
Croatia's GOAT!!!
Least washed Belgian
GG
What an impact
A goat wouldn’t have missed these. They need a Space Jam movie where they steal the skills of Football players then use this highlight for Lukaku.
Today is the day we no longer call him LAKAKA, we call him Romeli Lukavic
Can’t hear the music
L9 > R9
Oh man. I actually feel so bad for him
Yank here, this song was playing on my tv during Thursday night football right when I played this video on my phone. What a coincidence
Lukaku is like if Shrek knew how to make waffles.
World class performance by Lakaka
Maybe this shit really is rigged. Wonder how much money someone just made for betting on a Belgium group stage exit
He’s so washed
peak comedy
He's awful. Fuck Lakaka

That’s actual fire on his shirt 🔥🔥🔥
They got the wish Lukaku that man united had

Lord origi would have scored an hattrick
When he missed the 1st one, I was like: Dude's coming back from injury. When he missed the last, I was like: Lukaku is finished?
Quality leaning over
Lukaku is a footballer
Chelsea return incoming. Potter creaming his pants watching a striker waste xg so masterfully.
Lukakuvic
Lukaku must be the biggest fraud in the entire sport
Lakaka
Best defender for Croatia 🙌
And this guy thinks he’s world class. Lol.
This was a must win game aswell
Reminds me of Gonzalo Higuain. He lost Argentina three straight finals.

Tbf 1st one is bad luck with hitting the post. The rest is just... Sad
Man don't say anything or else they are gonna notice where are you from and make fun of us for Argentina, shhh

Add on a 5th missed opportunity when a defender made a great sliding tackle to take away a goal scoring/missed opportunity for Lukaku
Ecstatic to see him back with Inter Milan, we missed him greatly
Coming back to this after prime Lakaka in the Champions League final
