Belgium 🇧🇪 relying on Lukaku 😀
How many chances did he miss?

 

[Dayvo]

Poor Lukaku: he won’t have 4+ ’easier’ chances than he had in that game.

its crazy.....and that decision last night as an ex goal keeper was mind boggling

If goalie mistimes his action and impedes the attacking player without him touching the ball, depriving
the attacking player (LM10) in this case, of a goal scoring opportunity it is and was a penalty. You of all people
being an ex gk would should know this!!! LMAO

There was no goal scoring oppurtunity and the keeper doesnt know messi is there as he is looking in the opposite direction…….the decision was shocking and im glad the keeper saved it.

Just never looked right Belgium. Poor.

where was the goal scoring opportunity? Messi had already headed wide and then the keeper brushes his chops.

yes the keeper shouldn't have touched him, but it was accidental and had no effect on Messi missing

Messi saw what was coming as he was about to head the ball into back of the net you can see
it clearly it affected him and put him off enough for him to have to take evasive action and mistime his
header. Szczęsny's hand missed the ball and struck messi therefore a cast iron penalty. Hth

You're embarrassing yourself now. You should have quit while you were ever so slightly ahead.

Germany and Spain have effectively killed their games off by scoring early.
