Not often I'd quote Lawro, but...

"Fellaini really needs to try harder"

Is a thought that's entered my consciousness on more than the odd occasion this season

Danny Murphy, innit?

Or do you remember Lawro quotes from previous times?

If Lawro commentated on a Man U game this season then he said it, too

Scousers, innit? They all sound the same 😉 I think he must have been temporarily possessed by Lawro's facial hair.

Anyway.... Stating that microphone-head is lazy and useless is a truism.

He's going to score now isn't he?

I think it's fair to say that anyone who has commentated on a game featuring Fellaini has said the same.

I still can't watch a game in this World Cup without saying "they'd dick on England". About both teams. I don't see any reason to desist from this watching USA v Belgium. They're not brilliant, but they'd still both do the job against England more often than not.

Mind you, Fellaini does resemble an arthritic chasing a bus that he's just missed by a few seconds.

As I said on an earlier page, Belgium really haven't done much in this tournament.

I would go as far to say they are the new Swiss.

Marc Wilmots must have put some effort in to drill the natural skill and flair out of players like Hazard and Mertens.

Danny - we've been making the same comment in every game too. The way Algeria played would have absolutely demolished England!

'The future of English Football' looks remarkably similar to the recent past of English Football... absolute shite!

Yes, they are playing a dangerous game by 'winning ugly' and late. In as much as you can ever say this, teams that do this 'deserve' to lose eventually. If the bloody yanks could put away a chance in front of goal it would force Belgium to inject a bit of oomph.

The common theme so far is teams who are 'underdogs' and put up a good fight, are constantly undone by lack of finishing.

Probably go the same way tonight.

Yes, I'm afraid so. Unfortunately the premier league has sold its soul to the devil and now having to dance to the tune. The only thing that really amazes me is how 'talented' 'young' English players attract some kind of premium in transfer deals. Surely the transfer market is the most 'perfect' market going? (That is the technical 'perfect' by the way). So surely a lot of the overrated young English players should be found out before transfer time?

Whatever, it doesn't diminish the point that on a one game basis I would back any team in this tournament versus England, with the possible exception of Honduras, but (with a blood thirsty referee) I reckon they'd 'do' England as well.

Can anyone tell me why the bbc make up department stop Chris Waddle's foundation an inch away from his hairline? It looks like he's had a scalp transplant.

Anyway, slower start to the second half. I sense the Belgians are luring the USA in, trappists that they are.

You could get a spray tan and do the Al Jazeera keeper's look. Neither of them are anywhere near as good looking as you though binbins.

This isn't about England per se, but everyone else. USA have players of the quality of a Stoke full back, and Fulham's second best player. Algeria have players who weren't able to get a regular game for Watford. Nigeria have players who were swapped for Kenwyne Jones. FFS, why can they achieve when we can't?

Because none of them spent the warm up to the World Cup filming adverts for shampoo, and vile butties, and concentrated on the more important business of doing what they get ****ing paid for?

So far in these last 16 games, all of the underdogs have given the favourites have been given a game. Even in the group stages the so called weaker nations held their own for the most part.

Has anyone figured out what Fellaini is actually meant to be doing? Or what position he's meant to be playing??He certainly seems to be struggling to get his head around it

OI!!! Don't be dissing Gregg's! That's fighting talk!! 😉

I thought Gary Linekar asked the most pertinent question at half time.

"So Rio, Fellaini... I mean, what is he?"
