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.

    No KDB assist? Because Hazard "dribbled" it and made the goal himself?

    1. 420king
      10 years, 4 months ago

      looks like it, yeah

      1. gart888

      Was undecided over haz or payet. Wemt for the frenchman. Guttes

    4. Planet Jo
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I guess it means I no longer have the difficult decision whether or not to captain Morata against an obdurate Italian defence.

    Hazard has been unplayable today strong skillful and full of hunger. Almost messi like today. Diffrent class.

  5. Belli2007
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Typical, had armband on Hazard right until the deadline and switched to Payet!!

    Morata it is then.

          1. Planet Jo
            10 years, 4 months ago

            ouch! One way to move up the rankings is to oppose Ronaldo though

  7. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Was that a KDB assist or it doesn't count

    1. The Wise Owl
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I think it doesn't count!

    2. Syd.
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1. gart888
        10 years, 4 months ago

        1. Syd.
          10 years, 4 months ago

        2. Planet Jo
          10 years, 4 months ago

  8. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Where is my another KDB assist???

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 4 months ago

      lukaku got it

  9. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Where is the KDB assist?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rules say no assist when player creates own opportunity by dribbling as Hazard did.

  10. Back on the horse
    10 years, 4 months ago

    where is Batsh going this summer?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 4 months ago

      whu maybe?

  11. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 4 months ago

    KDB doesn't get an assist guys!

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 4 months ago

      lukaku gets it?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 4 months ago

        It's possible.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Of course,in the rules

      No assist

  12. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 4 months ago

    De Bruyne goal would cap the night off now

  13. VS10_
    10 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. VS10_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Or that is about the scorer isn't it. kDB will get his assist then.

      1. Rowse
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He would have been given it by now, I hink as Hazard took the ball quite a distance beating a few players, this counts as a solo run/dribble

        1. VS10_
          10 years, 4 months ago

          It can be added later.

  14. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Would anyone like I long post about how I thought about captaining KDB and captained Muller instead ?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 4 months ago

      As long as it mentions choosing Muller 1 minute before the deadline.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        10 years, 4 months ago

        😆

    2. Cheeseoid

      Only if it is very long

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Incoming 😉

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 4 months ago

  16. Bene_the_horse

  19. Weeb Kakashi

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Read the rules

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 4 months ago

        As if anyone's gonna do that. 😀

          1. Epic Fail
            10 years, 4 months ago

            😀

      2. Davidinho
        10 years, 4 months ago

        A player will be credited with a goal assist when he delivers/plays the final pass, cross, header or shot which leads to the goal being scored.

        So he should get an assist....

      3. Ruth_NZ
        10 years, 4 months ago

        "A player will be credited with a goal assist when he delivers/plays the final pass, cross, header or shot which leads to the goal being scored. "

        So, what's not clear about that, Bemba?

  20. Syd.
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Count them

  21. Art Vandelay
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Haz (c). First decent points of the Euros. Too little too late, but nice anyway.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 4 months ago

      still waiting for my first decent haul...

      1. Art Vandelay
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Hang in there mate. 😀

    2. Planet Jo
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Too little too late? Wales and Poland to come, and then England. Room for more!

  22. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 4 months ago

  23. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    10 years, 4 months ago

    FFS Panto incoming . Spoiler Alert : Oh no it wasn't , Oh Yes it was x 50 million

  24. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  25. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 4 months ago

    So first no Hummels assist and now no KDB assist.

    This game sucks.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 4 months ago

      how no hummels assist?

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thought he got the final touch before Draxler scored 😕

  26. Baby Cuties
    10 years, 4 months ago

    How much is (was) Hazard?

    1. The Iron Tulip
      10 years, 4 months ago

      9.5 I think

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 4 months ago

    FPL should introduce this assist rule

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He did kind of put him on his way

  28. Zasa
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Next season's PL looks to be fuc*ing amazing on paper, can't wait. Can't even remember the last time it was as stacked as it's rumored to be next season. So many contenders 😯

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 4 months ago

      People say this every year. Then it's won by 10 points.

      1. Zasa
        10 years, 4 months ago

        ...but Pep 😯

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Man City to win by miles, Jose sacked by Christmas. 😉

          1. Zasa
            10 years, 4 months ago

            You fecker 🙁 Dammit you're probably right too

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It should be amazing . I am really looking forward to it

      1. Zasa
        10 years, 4 months ago

        The Manchester clubs are probably the ones I'm most exited for, that first derby should be great

  29. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 4 months ago

    So Ronaldo got assist last night for that goal and this isn't assist?

    Freaking unbelievable.

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It's ridiculous.

    2. VS10_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ronaldo was a shot on target, have you ever played a fantasy game or read the rules? No need to bring that one in to the debate,

      1. Dušan Citizen
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No, this EURO fantasy is my first fantasy game ever. 😛

        FPL had a few assist like this Kev's last season.

        1. VS10_
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Yes, but why are you bringing Ronaldo's assist in the mix, lol.

          1. Dušan Citizen
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Because this is the real assist, not Ronaldo's one.

            1. VS10_
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Ronaldo's is a fantasy assist 100%. Stop referring to that one haha. I agree, KDB should get his 2nd assist.

  30. Henryyy

    Have hazard and Gomez...why did i cap payet....
