That dreadlocked lad at the back will be the end of Belgium. At one point in the second half, Witsel, of all people, was pleading with him to close down a rampaging Dane. Roberto is depending on his glorious attacking players bailing him out, but I can't see it. Belgium would be popular winners, but they'll likely have to face the Italians after beating a third placed side in Seville first. That third placed side could be Germany, though it's far too early to say. For all the flaws of the Germans and Italians, I don't see Belgium coming through both of those. As it stands, France/Portugal, Croatia, or Spain are likely semi-final opponents. Obviously, far too early to have a clear sense of the draw, but there is enough pointing to a savage route for Roberto's boys against some of the best tournament football nations to doubt them.

They lost to Wales last Euros, could have been knocked out by Japan in 2018 before advancing on an all time Brazilian choke, went out with a whimper eventually against France and now have used up their get out of jail free winning that today. I'd be stunned to see them get through four straight knockouts against anyone that could reasonably be left in this.

Probably. But I think it’s darn close. De Bruynes only weakness is taking a head butt to the face.

Messi scored 30 goals while being at worst as good as KdB with his passing play in midfield and the final third. That's quite frankly absurd.

That Barca team is also man for man a far worse overall side than City is.
