At times he's entertaining, but he's doing himself no favours when he's looking so hard into Michael Owen's passing stats he might as well be making a brochure to shop him around.

I'm just glad it's been cleared that when you have good off ball movement to put yourself in position to score on an open goal, it means nothing. Or when you header the ball to the ground as opposed to straight ahead to avoid the keeper it is a tap-in and means nothing.

Calling Hernandez a better player is fucking hilarious.

No way was that a penalty by the way. Fell onto the ball.

That red is going to kill the game. Poland will be pleased with 1-0 in the opening game and rest Lewandowski before next round.

Hernandez doesn't have good off the ball movement? Hernandez doesn't have good off the ball movement at least as good as Lewandowski? lol

Drogba's header against Bayern Munich is an example of a world class header. Heading the ball from a few yards out with the whole goal to aim at is either a 'tap-in' or just an average goal.

Honestly the first game, and the ref is already killing the tournament. This game is a drab anyway. Remember the openening game at South Africa? That South Africa Mexico game, damn that was awesome.

he distracts me during replays too

Yeah sure I'll just bust out his ball retention skills in the 68th minute of games in January.

Seriously? Hernandez is the better goal scorer/poacher. Lewandowski is a better player.

So puting goal scoring aside which Hernandez is better at, how is Lewandowski a better player when he has poor passing compared to most top flight players which is also significantly worse than Hernandez's passing, he's worse at crossing, worse at long balls and gets dispossessed more? All Lewandowski has is he's slightly more creative.

Don't worry the Dutch and German finance ministers are working very hard to screw their citizens so you can have your free money in a few weeks. There's over 800 billion in savings alone in the Netherlands and you guys deserve to have at last half of it for free.

Hernandez plays more balls with his back to goal to an available player. He offers almost nothing with the ball when he isn't in the area. They're different types of strikers. I'm bored of you now.

So in your opinion they're slightly different types of players, well just because they're 'different' doesn't make one better than the other.
