Mediocre defense, above average midfield and a lot of attacking talent. Lukaku has been a douche in this tournament though so if that continues, it'll help us out a lot.

Their anuses after July 1st.

None. Seriously. This is their first major international tournament in 12 years I think.

Probably about the same as getting through the Group of Death.

I only know one thing about Belgium. They will lose if they play the USA on July 1.

They are a sloppier poor man's version of Germany.

Good attacking and midfield play. Hazard is brilliant in the midfield especially going at goal.

Their backline is suspect. Solid keeper.

They are like France but slightly less douchey. I guess they are to France as West Virginia is to Virginia. And yes, as already mentioned, waffles.

Eden Hazard, Fellaini, Kompany, Dembele, Lukaku, Origi.

They are in their "Golden Age" of soccer. Lots of quality on that team. But they arent that experienced at this level and havent looked as strong as people thought.... we can take them.

They haven't looked that great so far really. No FB's whatsoever, which hurts their attack in a number of ways.

Also, their central midfield is full of guys (maybe outside Witsel) who looked much better 1-2 years ago.

As somebody else said, it would be nice if Lukaku didn't figure it out today.

On paper, they are great. So far, they haven't looked outstanding,

They have a top 5 goalkeeper, a top 10 defender, and a top 10 creative midfielder. Thibault Courtois, Vincent Kompany, and Eden Hazard are their names.

Very good wingers, very inexperienced side. I believe this is their first major tournament since 2002.

Extremely talented individuals, haven't put it together as a team yet.

If they get it together for us it could be ugly.

Backs are slow, Run DMB and Fabs should do some work on the counter.
