Also Dirar is not eligible to play for Belgium according to Fifa rules, let's see how that case turns out. [/FONT]
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers I like our chances at second place, I really do. We have alot of talent, now we just need to play well as a team. Its also really possible that we finish in fourth too. We just need to play good in Brussels.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers I think 3rd or 4th is more likely. Spain and Turkey should easily get 1 and 2 and Bosnia is pretty darn good so I don't think its gonna happen for this WC....again. I love Belgium and wished they'd do well but they don't have any players doing well in the bigger european leagues and you need those guys to lead a team.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers Turkey 1-1 Belgium belgium played a good game and they didn't let the Turks to have clear chances, after all a fair result. I think belgium and Bosnia could make it difficult for Turkey.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers We'll talk after the next two home games. If we have eight points after those, anything is possible.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers Next up: Armenia & Spain I'm looking forward to see how well we match up with the best team in the world. It's a great game for us to see what level we can achieve for now. And let's not underestimate Armenia for God sakes. Also Marcos from Standard is thinking about playing for the national team. Great news! He would be a great fit at the right back position. Better than Swerts atleast
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers If Marcos decides to play for Belgium he would become the best naturalized Belgian nat ever. The ease in which he stood out in those Liverpool games was amazing.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers I think we have a chance because Spain will underestimate us. We just need to play like we're used to. Stupid Vandereycken will probably change the team and put 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders out there
Well, this opened my eyes! a really good performance by the Belgians. What a shame that they conceded a goal in the last minute to lose 1-2 against a very strong Spanish side. Belgium is finally back on its feet. Beware bosnia and turkey...
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers I watched the game cheering for Belgium, shame you guys couldnt hold off Spain
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers I'll reserve judgment until after the two Bosnia games. They really need two wins out of those, or at the very least four out of six points.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers Eden Hazard called up for Belgium! Unbelievable, never would have expected that Vandereycken would have the balls to
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers As long as they don't expect too much of the lad early on, this can only be good.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers Decent performance last night. Stand-outs were Vertonghen, Vanden Borre and especially Hazard imho. De Sutter did as much as could be expected in the limited minutes he was given.
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers Your national team is absolutely worthless with the exception of Fellaini, your win over us was a complete fluke, you're a nation of the ugliest people I've ever seen, your chocolate is shit not to mention your beer, Kwak, what the hell sort of name is that. Sort it out Belgium you wankers! Happy now BG
Re: WC 2010 qualifiers Do you even have a mod in here? Oh and by the way I was actually impressed with Kwak, was nice! 8% though! Christ!
