Euro 2012 Qualifiers

Belgium will be a strong team in 2014 and on. Their team is young but very talented, and another few years should be good for them.

True, we have some real talent walking around, the problem is forging them into a team. I think we now have more potential future top players than ever before: Eden Hazard (Lille), Witsel (Benfica), Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea), Courtois (Chelsea),... all have the potential to play a worldcup.

Game now ended 0-0

A glimmer of hope for Belgium!

If only we'd beaten the Azeri's and tied the US instead,...

Let's hope for a miracle tonight, people. Defeating Germany may be tough, but Turkey sadly isn't going to lose from the Azeri's.


Anyway, I share some of Phil's qualms. Objectively we really don't deserve to be in Ukraine or Poland, whereas Turkey would probably deserve to be there more than us. But I do believe that this Belgium is slowly growing to the point where it would be a more than worthy participant in any international competition. I have sad this before, but, boy, we do have a lot of young talent that's yet to blossom.

What a disappointing night. Thank god I didn't make any bold claims on here.

This means that if (nd that's rather a big 'if') Belgium qualifies for the WC 2014, it  will be their  return to the international stage after 12 (Twelve!) years in the wilderness.
