not surprised and wouldn't be surprised if our board agreed ...after all Torres will soon turn things round

Thank you Team Belgium on your great insights....

How do you guys predict your national team will do in 2014?

Hard to tell. Certainly have the talent to make it deep into the tournament. The lack of experience will probably get the better of them at some point.

Need to qualify first as well :F

EURO 2016 will be interesting though

Oh and Wilmots, while being an excellent motivator, severy lacks experience and isn't a tactical wonder.

Qualification still needs to happen and it would behoove the NT to avoid a playoff.

If Belgium qualifies they will be a very dangerous side in Brazil as the top players will have 2 more years of maturity.

IF they qualify (which I really think is very possible this time)... I think the Belgian team can get really far in this tournament!

We have been saying that our national squad is soooo talented for many years now. Unfortunately the team played good football ... but the results were lacking.

=> we used to be the better team in almost any game... but in the end we would lose or draw (the friendly game against England is a good example).

This time it seems that the players have matured a lot and are capable of playing attractive football AND reaching a result!!

If we qualify... I predict great things to happen in Brazil. All of our players will have 2 extra years of experience under their belt + reaching the World Cup final stage will give this group such a confidence boost that they might bring some magic!

my thoughts exactly ...he would have got a bucketful

[Hamilton 2,120]

Will he be celebrating when Brom scores?

He will probably sit there emotionless directly on the halfway line.

Not sure if we will qualify though. We definitely should but already threw away points against Croatia. Tough opponent anyhow of course. All next games will be crucial and so will Wilmots his choices be. I would be prefer a more experienced coach at the helm. Not sure about Wilmots' tactical acumen. But do have to credit him for putting Witsel in a defensive position while his approach with players seems to be well received.

On Lukaku and the national side: I would have liked to see him play together with Benteke during the last friendly. If only for 20 minutes. Both are doing great in the PL but are different type of players. So why not? It must be terrifying for a defense to come up against Lukaku, Benteke and also Hazard or Fellaini.

I rather expect Belgium to be at full strength at the EC 2016. Qualification should be easy with the increased number of participants and players as Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Fellaini and Dembele will be seasoned and experienced players whereas not only two years ago they were still young. Hopefully by then we have some new talent to integrate too, such as Denis Praet (Anderlecht), Zakaria Bakali, Perreira (ManU), Dickov Origi (Lille), Maxime Lestienne (Club Bruges), Mathias Bossaerts (Man City) and Charly Musonda hopefully of course. I may be forgetting some.

Also hoping for the return to his previous level of Athony Vandenborre, as there is real lack of quality at the right back position.

Sorry for the off topic! Good Romelu is getting a game to rest and fantastic he's the leading teenager goal scorer. He's improving which is the only thing we needed to see this season and as at Anderlecht he has exceeded expectations in a manner nobody expected.

That video shows just how much weight he has lost. Look at how big he is in the pre-season games in America compared to his size now, he was at least 2 stones heavier. He needs to stay light on his feet and try to be as mobile and agile as possible. He was practically overweight then compared to the size he is now.
