Dugout Discussion – Hungary vs Belgium

Sunday’s third and final fixture sees Hungary and Belgium do battle for the right to take on Wales in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals.

Having bounced back from an opening loss to Italy with wins over Republic of Ireland and Sweden, Belgium are regarded as favourites for the top half of the draw.

The Red Devils were placed fourth for shots on goal over the group stages, though found the net on just four occasions with big-hitters Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard yet to open their accounts in the tournament.

Bernd Storck’s side will be no pushovers, though. Despite firing far less attempts than their opponents across the first three matches (35 to 56), Hungary registered just one attempt on target fewer, firing 16 to Belgium’s 17.

Joint-top scorers with Wales for the group stages, their three-goal salvo against Portugal last time out certainly suggests this evening’s match could be tighter than many expect.

    What to do with Rami then.

    He misses one match.

    But he is cheap

    But at this late stage of the competition every player is important to give you the maximum flexibility

      Gotta get rid of him.

      France could get knocked out against eng/ice, and if they don't, I wouldn't be suprised to see his replacement take his place

        Had a pretty poor game today

      Won't England have put them out, before he's back?

        Hopefully

        Right now I could definitely see England knocking them out, the odds won't agree with me if the tie happens but I know where I would put my money.

        Now to get past Iceland first.

      Alright lads, I'm starting a online petition to get the Belgium match played again, as the Hungary goalie was over 65 and the 75% of KDB cappers thought that the goalie should have been 18-24. And Kiraly probably won't even be alive by the time this update becomes active. It's not because I'm a sore loser though, honest. If we get over 3 million signatures, we might get our own way.

        But Kiraly only played because he thought UEFA would be giving Belgium £350m per week, and he thought he could choose which Hungarians could come into his box, but it turns out neither of these things are likely to happen...

      Joachim Löw gets way too much stick for someone who is simply worried about his own personal hygiene.

        Poor Slovakian manager , not only does he lose but has to shake his hand at the end.

        More rotation ftw.

      2. Fifa las vegas
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure it makes much difference, another lallana, or maybe Firmino? Hard to know yet really.

      3. Pirlø's Pen
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Probably not. Will be most likely rotated due to Lpool having an abundance of attacking midfielders

      4. Jay_
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Great signing for Liverpool, same old FPL wise, get him if you just have that gut feeling but expect a 2 pointer.

          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Rotation mare if they're all fit

                ive got Dier, Smalling and Alli.
                cap is sitting on Payet atm
                will likely move it to Dier.

        That satanic little mascot is on the McEuros website. Any chance someone can link me to the assists from Germany match?

        From the looks of it on here I shouldn't ask about the Belgium match...

              I guess mixed emotions with Ozil then. We were in trouble if he had scored.

          @TFF:

          Surely if the example of a player assisting his goal himself is that he makes a dribble or a solo-run, it is not an evident logical conclusion that it is meant that the player only assists his goal himself if he dispossesses the opponent. That would be the logical interpretation if the example was "e.g. dispossesses opponent". In this case, the logical interpretation is that the player sets his own chance up by dribbling, and whatever exactly that means it does not mean "by dispossessing the opponent".

              I have no idea. I just replied to TFF about the rule interpretation. McD's rules are so vague that they're always going to cause problems of interpretation, but that does not mean that an interpretation that has no support by the rules would "surely be the logical one".

            Never in doubt.
            Flashscore = scoring.

          So he didn't get the assist then

          From the UEFA match report - the most important indication as they don't use OPTA:

          "Hazard (Belgium) scores!

          The Red Devils captain gets in on the act too, with a jinking run from the left flank after a quick Belgium break thanks to Carrasco and De Bruyne. He evades three Hungarian defenders before bending a shot around Király and into the right hand corner of the goal."

          They seem to credit the penultimate action as evading the three defenders and no assist is mentioned. Whether this goes against the wording of their rules, though it almost certainly does, is probably irrelevant as I've yet to see them go against their match reports. Djourou's non-assist in the group stage is another that springs to mind.

            How does that go _against_ the wording of their rules?

            "No assist is given to a player who creates his own goalscoring opportunity (e.g. solo run/dribble)."

              "A player will be credited with a goal assist when he delivers/plays the final pass" it's the debate of who creates there. But its the same wording FPL use and OPTA awarded an assist tonight where UEFA didn't.

                That's just the first paragraph of the rule, you have to read the other paragraphs as well, because they condition it. 🙄

                They're very clear about there being a possibility that a player is considered to have created the chance himself by dribbling, in which case there is no assist given, and it is exactly not at all said that the player must not have received the ball by a pass. If they meant that, they could have said it.
