Tbf to the celebrations they got knocked out in the world cup group stages and this first match pretty much guanrantees their passage he group stages.

Everyone has pretty much celebrated their wins. Just look at you guys after every europey match
 
No different to the Portugal "golden team", none of them ever seem to do anything at tournaments.

This Belgium team as more names than that Portugal team could dream of.

Italy had the things Belgium lack; discipline, organisation, team work, experience.
 
Have a think and see if you can guess (hint, it wasn't de Bruyne or Hazard) :emoticon-0100-smile

TBF Felliani had his best game I've seen him play since his Everton days

My point was more that he wasn't the only one ;-)

For all the "names" I have been hearing about for the last few years they have been exceptionally average.

Yep. More liking to the English "Golden Generation" than the Portugal team of Figo & co though

He is very good at what he does (keeping possession and causing a nuisance in the area), I don't want to see him starting for United again but wouldn't mind him as a sub. Players should get some recognition for what they actually do in a team, Fellaini never gets any.

Belgium is a group of good players not playing as a team. Reminds me of this season's Chelsea. Underachieving. If a team rely on hazard, they are in trouble.

Lukaku had an open goal and he managed to miss when it was easier to score.

Better than wearing a full kit(including shinpads)and running on to celebrate as if you actually played.<whistle>

Lol how is that relevant? Someone mentioned how italy celebrated like they won something having a dig. I just mentioned some facts about how loads of team celebrate a win/going through in the group stages/going through to next round <laugh>

Now now bobby, you mentioned LFC's celebrations in Europe so was your post more relevant than mine?

On Belgium, think Wilmots is the wrong man for the job, tactically he's poor and doesn't make the right decisions. Its almost as if he's relying on a very talented group of players just to work as a team. Also seems that he is trying to shoehorn too many star players into the starting XI, rather than picking a team, surely there has to be a Belgian LB out there who can play rather than forcing one of your better players out of position and if Kompany is fit then someone (Vertonghen etc) might have to sit on the bench.
Then there is the Felleini/Lukaku combo, well first Felleini is ****, second they're too similar, needs a quick man who run in behind playing off either or.

Last little point, who made Hazard cpt. A player who disappeared all season cause the team was having a bad time. Not a leader.
