Group H - Algeria, Belgium, Russia, South Korea

I'm tempted to stick £10 e/w on Romelu Lukaku to be top goalscorer, just hope he'll start each group game.

Just put Belgium v Tunisia on and its been stopped because of a hail storm ffs.

Actually, some of them look bigger than golf balls

Has it been abandoned or just "suspended" for the time being? I've got them in a bet...

They're just coming back out now.

Me too, thanks god for Maartens!

I got Algeria in my work sweepstake come on hoping they can pull off a miracle against Belgium!

Belgium team to face Algeria: Courtois, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Dembélé, Kompany, van Buyten, Chadli, Witsel, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Hazard.

Belgium have been quite poor so far

Its really no surprise, they're a team of individuals.

This is Brilliant Belgium have been poor but to be fair Algeria have played well!

Why did I decide to back Lakaku e/w for top scorer? He's probably going to score zero goals.

Great header, pleased for him too.

1-1.

Fellaini.

Belgium now lead 2-1, Dries Mertens..

Well bugger me a team improved by the presence of Fellaini. I thought it was fictional like unicorns.

Put Belgium in a three team acca when they were behind, with Brazil and Holland.

The fuck was Akinfeev doing?

Igor Akinfeev will get shot if he ever returns to Russia I reckon!

What a nightmare! He has looked dodgy all night!

Korea's defense lets them down in crucial moments while their midfield takes control of the game. It was so nerve-racking whenever Russia got into the box because it's always the fullback+centerback that screw up and the goalkeeper's not good enough to produce a super save.

Akinfeev's howler reminded me of Schmeichel's vs Sheffield Wednesday in 1998.

You could tell it was coming for Akinfeev though, two/three fuck ups beforehand.

Ochoa > Akinfeev in FM wonder 'keepers.

At least Akinfeev hasn't had to play for Sunderland though...

Yeah I always used to buy Ochoa as a teenager on the older FM's. He was fab

Belgium lucky not to concede a penalty there.


Mertens is awesome. Lukaku is absolute garbage

Belgium are awful, really hope Russia nick this as they're the only team looking like they want to win it.

This match is dreadful.
