Hi, the match will bei played on 26.03.2008 in Brussels. I think the stadium will be full with moroccans like the stade de france. I think it will be a draw.
not yet, but chances of Fellaini playing are very high. He's been doing good and his club is playing good (most likely the next champions) He'll be having some though competition with Mudingayi (Lazio) and maybe one out of the Simons/Kompany couple. Stijnen will be in goal right back: ? (maybe Hoefkens / Gillet) Central Defense will be Kompany,VanBuyten or Simons Left back will be Van Damme/Vermaelen/Vertongen Right Midfield might be Thomas Chatelle Left Midfield can be Vertongen/Goor central midfield: Fellaini/Mudingayi/Defour (injured though)/Gillet/Haroun Strikers: Dembele/Mirallas/Pieroni/Sterchele
Morocco's Lineup for the match: 1-Nadir Lemyaghri (Al-Wahda-UAE) 2-Adil Hermach (K.S.V.

Nice to see that Nabil Dirar has been called up. He has been playing very well for Westerlo. Also a fun player to watch.
yes your right. And it's great that players from the OT are finally called up. I miss only El Ahmadi of Twente. What about the belgian lineup? No news about it? I've heard that all tickets are sold?
Goal: Olivier Renard (KV Mechelen), Stijn Stijnen (Club Brugge), Brian Vandenbussche en (SC Heerenveen) Defense: Vincent Kompany (Hamburger SV), Gilles Swerts (Vitesse), Daniel Van Buyten (Bayern München), Jelle Van Damme (Anderlecht) en Thomas Vermaelen (Ajax) Midfield: Timmy Simons (PSV), Marouane Fellaini, Axel Witsel (beiden Standard Luik), Karel Geraerts (Club Brugge), Guillaume Gillet (Anderlecht), Faris Haroun (RC Genk), Gaby Mudingayi (Lazio) en Jan Vertonghen (Ajax). Attack: Moussa Dembele (AZ), Stijn De Smet (Cercle Brugge), Kevin Mirallas (Lille), Luigi Pieroni (Anderlecht) en Wesley Sonck (Club Brugge)
Yes, most likely. To answer another question: No, Malki doesn't have any chances to be called up. I didn't even know he had a belgian passport. Anyway, he's way too mediocre for the national team. He has scored a mesmerising 12 goals this season, and to be honest, he should have scored more. He has been very lucky that he plays in a team with some great players who can create chances (Losada, Colman, Cruz)

Awfull. Still, I dont see most of this guys playing any part on the team playing for the Euro in 2012. It would be then when the new generation would make an impact. Meanwhile we're stuck with this bunch. Lets hope that they can do something in september. They have a decent chance in that group with Spain, Turkey, Bosnia, Armenia and Estonia.
that was some shellacking. no wonder my mates in brussels have given up any hope for the red devils. the moroccan fans in stade baudouin would've been very happy
Real classy of them to boo Fellaini though. Gee, how awful of him to want to represent the country he was born and raised in...
I'm not even bothered by the score, especially with a keeper like that. But the way we played.. terryfing. Not one good pass! How is it possible that Belgium can't give 1 decent pass against a very mediocre team like Morocco. Morocco for peace's sake !
For Pete's sake. And the keeper wasn't the problem, as much as you hate Stijnen. But I'm ok with Renard taking his place if you'd prefer that. If however you suggest Bailly or Proto instead and I'll mock you mercilessly. Your boy Kompany was all over the place in midfield. It's beyond one or two players not performing, almost the entire team looked out of their depth. And Morrocco isn't a mediocre team, they have a far superior technical ability to ours. Really, this was a game where there was very little to win. They're good enough to give most teams a good game, yet they don't have a big enough reputation to warrant the fear for a big home loss like this.
The difference between Belgium and teams like Holland, Morroco, Italy, is that is Belgium isn't a country with 1 people, but with 2. The belgian players haven't the pride to play and fight for they country, because Belgium isn't a real country. It's time for the red devils to leave and let the Lions play!
This is why Maaroufi has changed to the Moroccan Team. He said that in the U-21 there was no teamspirit and that most of the players didn't see themselfs as belgians.
