Sunderland ought to get a good fee for Wahbi Khazri if they decide to sell him this summer.

Two players off on stretchers now for Tunisia. We need some of the Belgium players to pick up a few little injuries, maybe a yellow card or two too.

Tunisia been very unlucky in that regard. 3 players in two matches!

3-1 Lukkaku must love playing in this Belgium team. He looks a different player.

There we go, this match breaks the record for games without a 0-0.

 

[Qwerty]

I'm up for deliberately not winning the group to get a better draw, so hopefully Belgium score a few more goals.

We all know England v Panama will be the first 0-0 of the World Cup

4-1 Hazard. Fabulous stuff.

Yep, I still fancy Belgium to win overall.

This tournament is Belgium’s to lose if they get their act together (like this).

Looking at the form Hazard and co. are in, I don’t think England will have to try very hard not to beat them next week!

It's Tunisia and they're peaking too early for me. You can't win a tournament with a poorly coached defence which I think will be shown against the bigger teams.

Quarters at best imo.

Belgium fans sing the same song as British fans!


So far I've heard the Will Grigg's on Fire (England have stolen this for Vardy)
The Earth Wind and Fire song

And now they're singing 'Don't take me home' !

5-1 Batshuayi finally gets one in.

The same Tunisia that we only beat with a last minute goal?...hmmm

5-2!

Not sure they’ve peaked. We shall see.

I think that they have enough firepower to overcome any defensive deficiancies personally.

It does make you wonder how good they could be with a World class coach though.

If I was a Derby fan, I`d prefer my manager to be concentrating 100% on the huge task he has in front of him. I realise he was probably contracted by the BBC before he took the Rams job, but i`m sure they could have arranged for a substitute has been to spout the obvious for lots of money.
