Will my guy Vincent Kompany captain Belgium? I don't understanding why that useless small boy Hazard is the captain, when their great captain Kompany is fit and playing full games.
If Kompany is not the captain today and they lose, I will start Belgium laffing thread.

Don't bet on that. With Brazil out, and the stars aligning, I can see England winning it all - U-17, U-20 and World football champions. Despite their press, I am betting on them.

You think so? I think England are more likely to defeat Belgium although I can't realistically see them defeating either.

@Tx, nonsense. The only team capable of stopping HMS Avsummadat, is Deputy Igwe. The only reason why that formality would not come to fruition, is because l'admiral Didier Donut. France can mix it more than DJ EZ on a Friday night at Camden Palace. Power and finesse. Belgium vs England will be a Premier League game. England vs France, will be whatever Deputy Igwe wants it to be. That Donut has yet to work out how to use Giroud works in everybody's favour. That he insists on playing him however, could be a danger to all.

Chai, Oga Martinez has gone with wingbacks vs a whole Deputy Igwe. This could be interesting. L’admiral has chosen to stand in front of enigma code, Olivier Giroud, once more. Chalk in hand. Can he solve the puzzle?

Belgium light at the back (3-1-4-2).
I expect the Big OG to break his duck today. Allez France

I invoke the spirit of French greatness from of my childhood and later years: Tigana, Tresor, Platini, Giresse, Rochteau, Bossis, Six. Zidane, Henry, Lilliam Thuram, Desailly etc.
