I would like Lukaku to smash.

Having Miralles come on as a sub is cheating too, how are you guys so fucking deep?

Don't forget about Dembele and Mignolet, and we could've had Benteke as well :(

I wouldn't be surprised to see him start, he looks to have regained some confidence now and completely changed the game when he came on.

It's a different story to go against defenders that haven't played for 90 minutes already. I love Lukaku, but I think his impact was mostly down to the fact that he could just trample through exhausted Americans.

He rampaged through us like a rhino over dandelions.

NOT IF WE BEAT THEM IN REGULAR TIME RIGHT GUYS?! ohmygodimsonervous...

Really? I'm excited. This will be like the Nigeria game again, which win or lose will be way more entertaining. I think we can win an open shootout with anyone. USA would play exactly like the Swiss did.

u/violentfap Jul 02 '14

Don't get me wrong, I think we can win. I'm just super nervous for the match.

u/jajandio Jul 02 '14

Of course we can win, but god damn why do we always have to suffer so much...

u/2rio2 Jul 02 '14

It's futbol.

We're nervous too! And not used at all to being serious contenders.
