Yeah I'm watching too. I thought Belgium could go to semis at least this year but a couple of performances like this when it matters and they will fail spectacularly.

Though why Norway failed to turn up against Hungary in the play-offs when clearly they have a decent side, beating Iceland and now leading Belgium, beggars belief.
Yeah Norway have looked pretty solid at the back and like they could score in most of their attacks. Maybe the big game mentality is missing though?

Hope to see some of Michy as I've never seen even a YouTube vid of him but I suppose Origi or Benteke will feature before him.

To be fair, around the Hungary games they were a bit unlucky with all possible strikers being completely off form. Josh King has been great for Bournemouth since the new year but it seemed like he needed a massive kick up his backside, not even getting picked for the Hungary games, to fulfil his potential. During the autumn they also had a whole host of attacking players struggling with injuries.

Doesn't change the fact that the coach completely fucked up the away tie by not playing a recognised striker when they were 1-0 down after the first leg. Norway also do have a mental problem where their heads can drop very easily and quickly.

Classic Norway. 3-2.

Still maintain that Belgium need to raise their game a heck of a lot for the Euros.

They've come alive all of a sudden... De Bruyne at the heart of all the good though.

Looks like that Nainggolan has been getting up close and personal with Cheryl Cole's arse...

Obviously taken the "if I can't stand out with my play I'll stand out with my look" approach. At least he'll recognise himself on FIFA or PES.

L'Equipe's predicted starting XI:

The midfield ain't bad but the defence though....

Kante and Matuidi on the pitch at the same time is like giving them another player on the pitch......which they could use because the back line is...ehhhh...

Thought we'd signed a player called Willkommen, Bienvenue, Bienvenido.
And then I thought, with a name like that he sounds like he's from South America!
