    This is one of my favorite ideas ever, I saw Pazjor try it on EAFC ( • World Cup, But Age = Team ) and I had to take it for a spin on Football Manager where we could create a full World Cup up to 47 years old. Are the old guys going to win? No! But, it’s fun to have them around and it’s fun to get a full 32 team tournament to decide the best age once and for all.
    Much Love,

      @@aw2584 Lukaku missed some big chances, but without Lukaku Belgium wasn't creating anything though. He came back from a big injury and actually shouldn't have been playing in the world cup at all, but he still did, tried to carry a clueless Belgium team at the time. Sad he didn't score but you can't criticise his game against Croatia too much.

      When he played for Everton he took over penalty duties from Leighton Baines who had only ever missed one penalty (from a not insignificant 27 or so). I think he scored under half of his. But Martinez wanted him on pens to up his goal tally and confidence.
