Re: Is Belgium gonna be a next heavy-weight in European/International Football?

My favourites for the next World Cup. Yes Kneejerk

Still not sold on their fullbacks (although Vertonghen is solid at LB) and Lukaku is still extremely raw but they still have 2 years to get it right.

Belgium wont even qualify for the world cup

Lukaku is shit,Hazard is a NT flop,their backline is filled with top names but rarely keep a clean sheet.Only their midfield is something to highlight

Well, they sure won't have it easy with Croatia and Serbia (plus Wales, Scotland and Macedonia). I'm curious if they can do it.

Until Lukaku proves himself, i think theyre better off playing either with 3 at the back, or with Fellaini as the CF. Hes been tried there before and done well. Something like:

--Courtois--
--Vermaelen-- --Van Buyten-- --Kompany-- --Vertonghen--
--Naingollan-- --Witsel--
--Hazard-- --Dembele-- --Mertens--
--Fellaini--

Or

--Courtois--
--Vermaelen-- --Kompany-- --Vertonghen--
--Dembele-- --Naingollan-- --Witsel-- --Mertens--
--Hazard-- --Fellaini--
--Lukaku--

Both are strong teamz, but neither are worldbeaters.

Yeh they aren't elite, but they aren't a mid-table side either.

Kevin Mirallas, Steven Defour, and Toby Alderweireld...Add these three to that squad as well. I think they only need a good coach. On paper they are better than half the teams that make WC from Europe.
