Yes it was him.

Italy better watch out for the backlash now!

[Fosterbloke]

Benteke coming on!

[redmike65]

Origi is sad.

[Chazza]

Made worse that he is playing centre back and not left back.

[Fosterbloke]

was that the left back who ran 30 yards at full pelt and puts in a sliding challenge on the half way line, but misses the ball [and the player] and leaves the rest of the pitch behind him wide open.
it could have been moreno

Plays for relegated Aston Villa

Benteke looking like Messi already. You know it's bad when him and "Rom" look like god's against you.

[RedReet]

Dirt!

[danperkins]

Good God, absolutely destroyed. The game was always going to hinge on how Belgium played and unfortunately for us they clicked. Just cannot get any sustained possession. I'd like to think that finally McCarthy and Clark will get permanently binned but hard to know with o Neill. Beaten by a much better side with quality players.

[Gibbo]

Petit calling for an indirect freekick in the penalty area.

Because the foul was bad but not bad enough for a pen?

[danperkins]

Kieran Clark has to be one of the worst CBs in pro football. Nearly had 3 own goals in the Sweden game. He wasn't even first choice in qualifiers and. Abysmal for Villa. He's decent on the ball but what a car crash CB. That sliding tackle for the third was like something you'd see in grass roots football

Oh **** according to Howard Webb thats actually a rule.

Well who looks like a cock now?

or Escape to Victory..

We're ****ing awful and alehouse tactics from a **** manager to boot. Even still we had a chance against a **** swedish team to get the win that would put us through and we ****ed it up. Norn Iron got their chance against Ukraine and took it with both hands. Abject failure is what we do best.
