Thomas Vermaelen left off. Is that 3-6-1 they are playing?Suppose De Bruyne and Hazard will play forward so more like 3-4-3?

that Bentaleb for Algeria is the young lad with Spurs.

Witsel flying for Zenit this year by all accounts. Hope Belgium do well. It's important for the football hipster community.

If I had my way I'd ban every African team from the tournament. Their negative tactics are just too hard to watch

I believe I am on record on this very thread that I didn't think they would do any business in this tournament.

Does that mean the won't win any games, won't get out of the group or what exactly. Is getting to the Q/final or semi considered as doing business?

Funny to see the lamp shade score today, haven't seen it all season with United. When I saw him running around I was saying to myself how could you take a team serious with him in the line-up, then he scored!
