Cheers Jr, this has cleraly been a much better weekend than I thought it had been -me brain is still pickled!
I had actually "looked" at the pages since I was AWOL on Friday and managed to miss both you and Matante.....anyone else out there!!!
Thanks for letting me know, if I get anything wrong then please shout!
Maybe it's too much too soon, young and hungry, but a bit of experience might do them the world of good. Bright future though, especially if they roll up a few fullbacks.
I think the only difference of note is the addition of Januzaj, who hasn't played a second.
Some friends and I will be headed shortly to meet up with the American Outlaws (largest US supporters group) downtown for the match today, assuming we can even get in to the place, it's expected to hit max capacity pretty early.
Heh, the goal went in right about when I hit "post reply".
No harm in winning ugly, won the league ugly recently, but right now they don't look like they have the guile to go all the way ugly.
They'll probably end up playing 2nd place in the Portugal/USA/Ghana/Germany group, and I wouldn't fancy the Belgians against 3 of that lot.
The curse of the titus bet.
Hey Bill...how's things? How's the old boy? And of course how is Debs?
The last ten minutes were fun to watch.
Nigeria v. Iran was one of the worst matches ever. EVER.
I haven't seen Debs since I took that pic. 
Otherwise, things are same as usual. Enjoying the football fest.

Hard to blame just Lukaku, the only players to look really impressive for them so far are De Bruyne and Coutrois. Aaaazzzzzarrrrh is massively struggling without a fullback making space for him, but credit to him, he's still getting some dribbles away, just a lot less productive than usual. Their midfield looks a lot softer than it usually is too.
That other striker they have(who's name escapes me at the moment) is looking fairly handy too.

Wasn't blaming him DS, I just thought he was as much use there as a log...immobile and unimaginative.
TV commentary: "The Algerian goalkeeper managed to keep a clean sheet against England at the last World Cup."
Not really worth adding to his CV, is it?

Struggling to accept he's the same player.
He looks like a lost little boy, hopelessly out of his depth.
