An extra fifteen minutes build-up to discuss Belgium and Lukaku. For a a while anyway then Gabby Yorath interviewed Gareth Southgate about his feckin shoulder. Again! Please, can we have one game where we don’t discuss that?
Alex Scott then told us that De Bruyne - one of the best players in the world - will be key. Good shout there.
Belgium ahead early thanks to a penalty - not a VARPEN as, although it was confirmed by VAR, the referee was convinced of the offence and that it happened on the line. Hazard calmly scored. And when Lukaku quickly added a second, it looked all over but Tunisia surprisingly hit back to reduce the lead.
A couple of injuries didn’t help the Tunisian cause and when Lukaku made it 3-1 it all began to make England’s struggle against them look very unimpressive. Especially so when Hazard made it 4-1 and Batshuayi five after he missed twice from the six-yard line before missing again from twelve yards.
Tunisia got a late consolation but the Belgians strong favourites for the group now.
