Soccer = Skill and Technique (USA Needs to Understand This)

I dont remember Dempsey being more than a sub for Fulham who was always in the relegation window.

Then your memory is shot.

He was their best player, or at worst second best.

You don't go from Fulham to Spurs by being just a sub.

He scored 17 goals one year for Fulham before moving on to Tottenham. The same year they beat Juventus and made it to the Europa League final. He was one of their stars.

This dude @Miggs is always hilarious with the US hate, just surprised he didn't try to prop up some Canadian at the same time.

they turn pro before puberty overseas
meanwhile it's just another after school activity here

and you can be bigger faster stronger but if you have no control no touch it's pointless
we don't put the quality time in so we don't win

I will start name dropping Alphonso Davies when he makes his move to the PL or Serie A

Don't forget this is the goal that helped Fulham beat Juve 5-4 on aggregate and put them into the quarterfinals.

I will never forget this europa league run fulham pulled off. Shame they lost in the final but beating juve is a huge accomplishment even though it was rebuild mode juve.

Exactly, you do know that lukaku played 2 games prior to this one right? Both times dude played the entire 90 minutes and never had one shot in both games.

He had a good game today but I hope people dont think this dude the charcoal ronaldo now

some of y'all we're trying to portray Lukaku as just an average player in this thread. Has his success changed the argument at all?

wait so you think his time at manyoo has enhanced his rep and made your point more valid?

Nothing. Just saw this tweet and was reminded of this thread. Soccer players starting to look like American football players.

I honestly have no idea what he did for "manyoo". I don't follow the game that closely. I just upped it cuz my question wasn't answered 2 years ago.

Point is tho, when this thread was made it was implied that Lukaku was just athletic with average skills but he ended being one of the better players in the world...right?
