Belgium 0 - 1 Slovakia
What a belter if a match that one was. Belgium are like England's twin team, littered with class players and yet somehow always able to seek out disappointment from promise.
They do it in a very different way to England though, there's lots of flair and chance creation, but at the other end, by selecting Faes, they bring their own brand of chaos to the defensive third.
It was an early goal and snickometer that did for them tonight though, in a really pulsating game. Slovakia were great fun, slick passing and direct in their approach, and beautifully unafraid to shithouse the life out of the game once the 60 minute mark came around.
In fairness, Lukaku was super unlucky, being fractionally offside for one goal and then having his (theoretical) second ruled out for a brush of handball by Openda in the buildup.
So there we have it, a shock. Belgium could still conceivably top their group and it will be a lot of fun seeing them go even more attacking in their attempts to do so.
