Man that Origi kid is very impressive :o .. I think Lukaku's days as starter in the National team are over :D Benteke's always first choice for Wilmots, and this kid has already shown more than Lukaku in about 20mins .. Very impressive

Boring game once again (as expected with Hazard/KDB on the bench) .. But like I've said before, this team is so much better when playing a more counter-attacking style .. 2nd half with 10vs11 was a lot better. Go figure :D

Defour should pack his bags I think. They'll probably suspend him for the rest of the tourney, and rightfully so. Horrible and completely unnecessary tackle

Where is Origi from? He was tricking Korea all around the 18.

I'd say playing their best player for less than an hour total over the three games might have played into Akinfeev's howler against the koreans turning out to be so important. That and Capello trying to sit on a 1-0 lead for over 80 minutes. Alan changed the complexion of the korean and algeria matches when he was brought in, if he had been out there from the start russia could've scored a second goal.
