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.

He looked like an American football player during preseason...

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

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

I've got a 1000 € bet running on Belgium not qualifying for Brazil, so yea I predict they'll bottle it again.

It was at the draw that I put 750 € into that bet, everyone in Belgium was saying they had a lucky draw and had one of the easiest groups in years. I knew better.

Croatia and Serbia are not a laughing matter, sure they're not Germany or Spain but they're just as good as Belgium or even better. Most importantly were the "minnows" we drew : Macedonia, Scotland, Wales. They were neglected as if they were San Marino, Liechtenstein or Faroe Islands. :doh:

The extra 250 € for the bet was settled when they appointed Wilmots as manager, he's almost a carbon copy of his predecessor who managed to fuck up an extremely easy group for EC2012. He's a motivator just like him, not a tactician which Belgium so sorely need.

And the award for biggest pessimist goes to...

Jeez dude, yea they might fuck up but 1000 euro? Terrible odds mate

ps: Why do you say everyone in Belgium thinks we got an easy group? It's pretty clear that we have one of the trickiest groups. In fact I haven't heard anyone at all claim we have an easy group.

Because you referred to your own post and then said at least one belgian is unbiased . Lmao!

O, I was referring to Lukaku, etc.. He made other posts concerning belgians, but they were never over the top... Some were even critical.... Most of the other posters from belgium just defend their players to the highest regard...

I don't think thats true, actually - looking back at the Lukaku, Kdb, Courtois, Hazard threads.

It is true that Hazard sparked some ferocious debate - it went beserk over there a while ago. But .... He is also really good and got attacked for extra-sportive reasons. Is defending a player because you think he is criticized for the wrong reasons being biased, then?

Or is it mainstream on here to just fuck over players all the time because it makes you look 'critical', wise and intelligent?

My bet is on the latter, mate!

Cheers.

I prefer to be called realist :D

Odds were actually pretty good 4/1, for bottlers in a hard group that's a sure bet for me. They're doing "well" so far but I'm pretty sure they won't get more than 3 points out of the 2 matches against Macedonia or they have to do something radical like ... playing with 2 strikers, imagine that :rolleyes:

Can't see Wilmots changing 'his system' as long as the results are there. He should've tried Lukaku+Benteke in the friendly, but as you said, Wilmots isnt a tactician.

4/1 for qualification? Really? I guess part of that is due to our failure to qualify for any tournament for ages.. Still, 1000euro is a lot of money to lose, for me at least.

4/1 for them not to qualify... So if belgium don't qualify he gets 5k. I assume you lot are quite heavily odds on to qualify.
