    Romelu Lukaku

    Indeed, Lukaku is very scary to any team, ask Fergusson. Making a hattrick at ManU, starting off at Everton with 4 goals, finishing off Croatia in 25 minutes with 2 goals... Especially in Brazil, the Belgian squad just can't get around him. The future is now.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Nobody is downgrading Benteke. But in the Belgian NT there is only one place for a striker. That's why there is this big discussion. And I'm tired of a majority preferring Benteke while he's performing so poorly. He's not scoring, not giving assists for over twelve months, but he's playing very...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Did you miss the game Croatia away? Lukaku is even better in the Premier League then Benteke, and his NT stats are much better as well. Lukaku scored 17 goals for West Bromich as a substitute (mostly 30'), while Benteke scored 18 for AV as key player. This season, Lukaku allready scored 4...

    Thibaut Courtois

    Just for the record. In the World Cup Qualifiers Courtois only got passed 4 times in 10 caps.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Benteke's last official NT qualifiers goal was 12 October 2012: Serbia away (0-3). Thus, a full year. The crucial qualification year, btw. Indeed it's an interesting debate, and I also wonder how Wilmots will react. Concerning Brazil, the first round being head of its group doesn't say...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Benteke didn't score for the NT for a full year and played almost every match. What's so silly about that statement? If you take away Lukaku, Belgium would have a hughe striker issue. In Brazil there wont be any easy (home) games as there were so much in the qualifiers. Counter qualities...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Benteke is almost 23 (2 December). Mid-twenties is 23-27. And a striker who isn't scoring at all for a full year, hardly can be called 'playing better'. Wake up.

    First away win in CL in almost a year

    Face it. With the away outfit (fading red/yellow) of last season, it was impossible to perform well.

    Romelu Lukaku

    These stats are useless as Lukaku is only a substitute. He maybe played 4 full games, while Benteke allways plays. Benteke is 23 on 2 December. Benteke is acting as an offensive mid player in the NT. 'Holding the ball' is virtually all he's performing the last year. His last goal dates from...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Your stats are a bit deceiving, sorry. Lukaku scored 8 in 22, first of all. But he only played few minutes, maybe 1/10 of Benteke's minutes. And I only take official games into account, not friendlies. Further: looking at this WC campaign is the right way to judge, as Lukaku was only a kid...

    Belgium calling

    Romelu Lukaku

    Lukaku yesterday performed brillantly for Belgium against Croatia in Zagreb Maksimir stadion. The Belgian squad won 1-2, with two goals by Lukaku (15', 38'). The youngster now is a national hero as he shot Belgium into the World Cup (after 12 years of absence). As a substitute (for Christian...

    Zakaria Bakkali

    Bakkali will announce his choise today in a press conference in Brussels where the youngster is training with the Belgian national squad. According to Belgian press few hours ago, he will officially announce his go ahead for Belgium. Obvious choice if you ask me.

    Youri Tielemans

    Tielemans has de very same international potential as Vincent Kompany. Same strenghth, technique and vista - very offensive mentality. In Anderlecht he's now one of the few strongholders, while the club is suffering. I'd place Tielemans in the same row as Kompany and Lukaku (Chelsea/Everton)...
