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.

        Said it as he walked up. He missed against Colombia. Didn't watch because I knew he'd miss.

        If I know the history and the mentality of a player, why doesn't the coach?!

          He probably wanted to atone for his earlier misses and informed the coach he wanted to hit and was confident.. some balls.. probably never hit again though lol

        It's always a paper offense in the big games. Messi, Higuain, Aguero...what were they doing?

        When it went to penalties, I knew Argentina would lose. We're a team full of pansies. Look at the Chileans. Gutsy, hardworking, even rough. Argentina is just a bunch of weak players who are talented with their feet but not with their mentality.

        Can't see Argentina making another final for a while. Our defenders are getting old, we have no good up and coming midfielders. This is the end of the pathetic "golden" generation.

    Well lads. I'll be signing out for tonight. Absolutely drained. One last question:

    I'm leading my ML by 11 points. My opponent has De Gea, Alba, and Dier remaining. I have Alli and Juanfran remaining. Should I do Payet(c)>Juanfran(c) or Payet(c) to Alli(c) based on the scenario at hand?

      Well if you are just concerned about him a Juanfran captaincy would in theory cover clean shets from De Gea and Alba leaving him requiring Dier to outscore Alli by 11 to catch you. In theory anyway

    Yes our USMNT is a mess, but anyone who watched Copa play has to give them credit for how they react when fouled. 90% of the time a US guy just gets up and plays. South American's and Mexicans are 90% likely to stay down in feigned agony, while his teammates surround the official asking for a yellow. If the stretcher arrives, the player is 90% likely not to get on it. The Euros are better, but not by much.
