Why is Warren Barton so important?

I mean, he's obviously very, very good.

It does seem unfair that Lukaku won't be credited with that goal, not just because of the movement that led up to it, but he essentially kicked the foot of the defender, thereby making the defender's foot kick the ball into the goal.

Sounds a bit like a foul, doesn't it?

Well, no.

For example, if I were to reach in, take Barry's hand and stroke your head with it, who would be stroking your head?

Me or Barry?

But technically, I would be responsible for the crime slash loving act of stroking your head.

Not Barry, who's just an innocent... He doesn't want to do that.

He's disgusted by the idea.

Lukaku, a great tournament player.

He has so many goals for Belgium.

I mean, it's... He's...

He's approaching, I think he's in the 80s now, and at a really good rate.

And his career has really been defined by appearance at this tournament, misses as well as successes.

I'm really glad to see him back.

I think goal of the tournament so far is Balogun, the one where he leaves two players on the turf and then smashes into the top corner with his left foot, just because everyone wants to score that goal.

I mean, that's just such a welter of nations, ideas, concepts.

Obviously, France, Senegal looks really interesting for many reasons.

I mean, not all of them do with France.
