Can we just take a moment to recognize that despite a whole video commenting on flop performances, Alfie's most vicious savagery was saved for poor Rory Jennings. What an absolute drive-by! Amazing

As a Liverpool fan, it would be easy for me to dislike Lukaku and mock him for this WC, but to be honest, I do remember watching his games at Everton and just admiring his excellent skills to score, and him not just waiting for the ball to reach the penalty box, but moving around different areas of the pitch to help recover the ball and set his teammates for attacking plays, using his physical attributes to really give defenders a hard time. I also remember feeling bad for him at Manchester United, where at the begining he was doing fine, but then they started to play with a very different style, and he just wasn't able to find good chances to do what he's best at. At Inter he was really fun to watch again, making a brilliant partnership with Lautaro. And I also support AC Milan, so it would be doubly easy for me to hate him. But I don't. He's a fantastic striker and at his best he's a really hard-to-beat natural goalscorer. He's had a hard time in recent seasons, and he might not fully recover his best form soon. But I do remember him fondly, even if he has so many times played as a rival to the teams I support.

That's the thing. Lukaku has been so instrumental to Belgium off the ball. The fact he's the all time leading goal scorer makes it even more impressive

Lukaku is really volatile, he plays like the generational goalscorer he is half the time, and is absolutely pitiful the other time. Really hope he and Lautaro refind their form in Milan

Weird because I remember Darwin Nunez being Uruguay's only real goal threat and having balls cleared off the line twice which would have put them through, all whilst being played out of position to accommodate an over-the-hill and crocked Luis Suarez.

Maybe except Nunez,the rest of them will not even have a chance to play another WC. Besides Messi,Alvarez and Martinez should always be praised for their performance.Without Alvarez,Lautaro with his recent form would have dragged Argentina like Higuan. Hope Belgium has realized what they are lacking since Argentina was going through same problem. Looking back it actually was a Miracle for what Conte did.Winning serie A with Lautaro and Lukaku.

Hi Alfie! I have an idea for a video you could do, ‘what would the Premier League look like if it followed the Austrian Bundesliga format?’

Video idea 7 most used formations in Association football.

I love the Ronaldo part😂

I'm really surprised that no Danish player, especially Dolberg, Damsgaard, Mæhle or even Eriksen made the list. I'm a Dane and the only team worse than us at the world cup was Qatar

it's very clear that you don't like CRonaldo, and I find that really funny bc neither do I XD

Calling my old Spurs boys “creaking piano’s” almost made me piss my pants 😆😆😆😆

Sule disuruh maen bola yaaa jadinya ngelawaak 😂 btw, PR7 had WC to forget didnt suprised me one bit, any sane objective football fan could see how poor he was with United.

The right (wright) joke gets funnier every time

Lukaku played only half a game, and it was a very bad half, BUT that was the only half in the tournament in which Belgium looked like they might score a goal.

7 players who probably would have retired from international football if they were their current age ten years ago but for some reason think in 2022 it is a good time to hang around and tarnish their career. Edited for clarity.

@@animeshpati5525 Nunez can’t sure, but no player over about 30 unless they’re in the World class bracket like Messi or Modric should be in a World Cup squad. For whatever reason, footballers are hanging around way longer than they used to and tarnishing their legacy. Look at Ronaldo. Riding the bench at United, gets his contract terminated and was still in the squad. Gonçalo Ramos should have started every game and Portugal would probably have done better.

As a man of culture I saw Alfie uploaded and here I am…

Man as a casual barca-fan I have to appreciate these two players but... 0:40 is still a hysterical picture.🤣

The comment from your girlfriend had me laughing out loud 😂. Bless Mrs Alfie.

i feel bad for Cristiano, he's a legend and one of the GOSTS. but its hard not to savor the tears of his toxic fans. they've been the absolute worst fandom of the entire tournament.

Alfie is so pleased that Ronaldo failed

Day 1: Players who shine in the World Cup but play terrible for their club. I know Maguire is on that list

12:08 is pure savagery from the video creator lmfao!

Don’t hold back alfie

I think it's pretty unfair to put Lukaku in there. He didn't play for two months and got more chances in half an hour than the entire team did in three full games... Also hit the inside of the post. :(

yeah he got 3 or 4 open goal sitters and he missed all of them and then Belgium was out, that is pretty bad.

@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 Yes, and they had no chances at all before he came in. Belgium are not a threat without Lukaku.

I genuinely felt bad for Ronaldo and Lukaku. Bad way to go out on both champs...but I will remember their excellence throughout their careers. I almost felt Lukaku was cursed this WC.

Alfie I cannot believe you didn't include Salt Bae anywhere.

"She takes a hard line on any type of decent" Dont worry alfie we are here for you.

Only the cream rises to the top in this tournament

I mean, this is pretty cruel Alfie, but I'm here for it

Alfie on the CR7 portion, I feel a personal venom, wtf.

i could put all of the belgium squad in here

Who did more damage to Ronaldo? Is it Messi or the Moroccan 9 year old girl who was taunting Cr7 and saying that he is crying?

Qatar has been one of the best host nations ever. pure fkn football, no bar fights, no police drama. half the world got to watch it in summer. it was amazing

How is Kevin De Bruyne ain’t on this list he was so bad at the World Cup he had no impact in the games he played

Keylor Navas deserves a mention. The PSG goalie having to pick the ball up 11 times in 3 matches, ruining his reputation at the end of his career.
