Starting to build a boss national side (around our Felli, of course)

Mignolet
Van Buyten - Kompany - Vertonghen - Vermaelen
Witsel - Fellaini - Defour
Hazard - Lukaku - Vossen

I think this side could do very well on the international stage in the coming years.

Me and Neilsy have discussed this before. They're a scary proposition for the future, and the near-future at that.

To be honest though once you've got Eden Hazard in your team it doesn't really matter. You're going to be ace whatever you do.

They'll be the 90s spain side all over again or England in the 00s. Flatter to decieve but never actually achieve anything.

This. Hope not. Be nice to see someone different bossing the international stage.

Moussa Dembele (24) and Dedryck Boyata (20) too.

I hope they don't disappoint.

I hope so too. And I hope Fellaini's at the center of it all.

And still an Everton player.

Yep, been banging this drum for some time, but Tetfan could be right

Thibaut Courtois should be a top keeper too

Neiler · August 11, 2011

In addition Scary mate isnt it, there all in and around the same age as well 23 or younger.

You also have the likes of Vossen, Alderweird at Ajax to supplement that. As well as Chadi (21) at Twente who also played in CL this season, Mirallas a very good attacking midfeilder playing in Greece. But in the post above your talking about some of the top top talent in Europe.

Big things are also expected of:

Kevin De Bruyne (19) - a brilliant midfeilder - will move to either AC, Bayern or Chelsea in the summer.

Guillaume Gillet (16), - full back, who recently made his senior international debut at the age of 16.

Arne Nilis, (17) son of the former Aston Villa player Luc Nilis, was recently snapped up from Genk by PSV Eindhoven.

The Belgs and zee Germans i reckon, smart moneys on an each way in the next tournament.

Chelsea's Courtois too. It can't be an accident that so many good players have all come through at once.

He's not 16 but a good FB anyway. What about El Ghannasy(sp), he's a good young player too.

There's over 200 national teams. Around 7 or 8 could reasonably claim to have a better record at major tournaments than England. It's just we have unreasonably high expectation of ourselves so that being a world cup quarter finalist and so one of the best 8 teams in the world gets rewritten in the press as a terrible failiure.

That and a leg up when it comes to seeding mate.
