    With Komapny and Vermalean a question mark, we have a great opportunity here. Those two hold the Belgian defense.

    Belgian offense and midfield has not really connected in the tournament so far. If we can limit their brilliant individual players, we are in good shape.

    It is not a regular game or group stage game.

    It is like the playoffs.... Both teams will bite, scratch to the last minute.

    They have Vertonghen, Van Buyten, the Athletico Madrid guy Alderweireld, Lombaerts

    It's not that we are saying that they lack good players to fill in, it's that if those guys are aren't exactly used to playing together. Communication is a huge part of that back line, and that takes repetition to get down.

    Belgium is just too strong in the middle, our only hope is a perfectly executed counter punch.

    All I am saying is we cannot predict how the game goes.... For all I know it could turn out to be an offensive spectacle.

    Would not mind that after those defensive games......

    Does it start at 2 or 3? Fifa says 3 central, ESPN has it as 3 eastern.

    I believe that Fab will go forward and make Vertonghen look slow and silly and we will win.

    Beckerman benched, Cameron into starting XI is the only change. Wonder if Cameron will be at RB or DM?
