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.

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.

They gave us the worst beating we've had in a couple years.

Been playing like shite...good forwards in hazard and de bryne solid mid field with witsel solid back line and good keeping with curtois....if they are on we getwaxed if they are off we have a great shot

vincent kompany is the best CB in the world.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 1:43 pm to TheCaterpillar
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.

Leopold II was pretty horrible, even for government standards.

They shat all over us when we played them last year
Also, their back line consists of four CBs so we should be able to do well on the wings

They have the best keeper in the world.

They have one of the better back 4s in the tourney.
Fellani is very physical if he starts and a great header of the ball in the box.
Lakuka plays for my team Everton and is very tricky in the box and fast.
When they beat us 4-2 Gonzo gifted them 2 goals.
They haven't played well in the first 2 games.
I expect us to approach the game more like we did Portugal, we must go forward and make them defend.
We can beat this team if we contain Lakaku, Hazard ( Chelses ) and Mirales ( Everton ) all 3 are crafty and fast.
Moussa Dembele is a great dribbler in the midfield, but often lacks the passing abilty in the final 1/3 of the pitch.
Bentke or however you spell it is out of the World Cup.

A good indication of how good a World Cup team is can be found by looking at where the players play professionally.
When you see their roster filled with players playing for clubs like Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Everton, the top clubs from the top leagues in the world ... then yes, they are damn good.
Our chances?
We're capable of winning, but we're the definite underdogs.

They're young, they're fast, they're good.
