It's not about good teams
Lukaku is one of the world's top players when he wants to be. Other times, he loafs around. I originally thought it was his youth or the fact that he had checked out at Everton. I think by now it's apparent that's just who he is. Of course the opponent and his team's performance have a lot to do with it, but it's obvious he can be taken out of games or effectively takes himself out at times.

Lukaku's strength is on hold up play and counter attacks. He is not going to wow with foot skills and shooting prowess. He was a beast vs Brazil with a different style of play.
Belgium chose to play a much more possession based game vs France than Brazil. Vs Brazil they had 43% possession and attempted 370 passes. Vs France they had 60% possession and attempted 629 passes.
Strategy did not play to his strengths vs France.
