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.

    Argentina get Kun off the bench & we get Pinilla 😎

      How you holding up? Crazy contest, unfortunate the ref decided to steal center stage from such a collection of talented and passionate players.

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah 🙁 At least it's an equal match now. Argentina have been on the backfoot the whole second half, they're completely dependent on Messi to get an attack started.

        I'm more worried about these Chile YC's accumulating tbh, Messi's putting an Oscar worthy performance here

          Exactly.

          Well put 🙂

      The man who hit the crossbar?

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yup, even got it tattooed on his back 😯

  2. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That is some quality for him to be on the bench.

  3. tm245

    Funes Mori is one to watch in FPL now that he has a proper manager.

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That whole defence could be a bargain next season.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully Seamus can get his groove back, too.

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Baines and Stones as well. They could be a top defence with the right handling

  4. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez down

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years

      Seems okay now.

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Should be fine, just got hit in the stomach

  5. tm245

    Terrible finish.

  6. La Roja

    Oh dear Sergio

  7. Zasa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Vamos Chile! Argentina are dead-silent right now, we need a good final touch here. No way we survive an extra 30 mins with all these YC's.

  8. KingNidge

    Watching Mkhitaryan videos on you tube i would be lying if i said i wasn't a little aroused

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That lad is a brilliant player.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Looks the business alright and his numbers are just insane.. just wondering if Jose sees him primarily as a 10 or on the right if we get the deal done.. Will we go after James Rodriguez too? how does he see Rooney's role? a lot up in the air but exciting times

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yep it is up in the air, I see him playing on the right though. Rooney or Herrera can be developed in the #10 or we can buy someone like Rodriguez. But great start 🙂

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Oh yeah, extraordinary on the flank. Should link up perfectly with a target-man like Zlatan on the end. Shaping up to be a great attack over there.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Things looking up potentially for sure..

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would love to see us lineup like:

      Mkhitaryan Herrera Martial
      Ibrahimovic

      I think Herrera is a great talent and Mourinho can develop him in the #10. Maybe Rooney there but I'd like to see some Herrera.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Herrera could well be the answer in there ya know excellent player no doubt.. I can't see Rooney and Zlatan in the same attack.. we can compensate for Zlatan's lack of pace but not both he and Rooney imo..

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed. Maybe a possible Rooney Schniederlin duo in the double pivot, who knows? The future is bright hopefully 🙂 🙂 Can't wait for next season.

      I remember watching videos of lots of players new to the league oin line and thinking this guy could be golden. Just wait and see before getting too excited

    Dear Euros, this a proper 0-0 match. Be advised.

  13. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Other than KDB, none of Kroos, Payet, Lukaku, Muller forward line scored more than 3.

    What was Hazards pts, I see a goal and assist from the prior discussions?

    Out of curiosity who were the high grossing players in the last EURO match, Bel, Ger, Fra game? Annoying when you cant see the high point gainers for the day.

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Alderweireld and Boateng got 12 each. Draxler and Hazard got 11 each I believe.

    So that KDB assist isn't given after all, that just makes me mad!

    1. Test Eagles

      Has it been removed?

        Never added from memory.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Is there any way to contact them, because I mean at least keep the game fair. I would react the same way if I didn't had him though. At least did last season when Silva was denied a clear assist and I didn't have him....

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Well its not correct

              I saw the game, it was an assist

              On every site it is counted as an assist

              According to the rules it is an assist

              I think I'll just stop playing now, can't stand thing like this, what's the fun in playing if they just give and take goals/assist whenever they like it

                  How is this not an assist?

        He had 2, but only given 1.....

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Don't mind not getting many points if the player don't perform, but this is just ridiculous, he clearly had the assist so give it to him. Looks like someone didn't have him in his team up there and decided to deny him the assist

    I've watched 15mins of this game so far (1st half of ET) and what a game this is!

    With griezmann cap and hazard would have hoped for a better MD rank than 25k. How did everyone do?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible. Payet, Muller, Kroos, Rami all failing to do anything.

      Relying on Morata to snag a triple hat-trick to recover now.

  30. La Roja
    • 13 Years

    Leo Messi could win this
