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?

      looks like it, yeah

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 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.

    6. Belli2007
      • 15 Years

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

      Morata it is then.

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

    8. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Was that a KDB assist or it doesn't count

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think it doesn't count!

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        KDB Assist

        1. gart888
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          it was in real life, but not on the mcdonalds game

          1. Syd.
            • 16 Years

            Glad I am not playing it

    9. Dušan Citizen

      Where is my another KDB assist???

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        lukaku got it

    10. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Where is the KDB assist?

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

    11. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      where is Batsh going this summer?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        whu maybe?

    12. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      KDB doesn't get an assist guys!

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        lukaku gets it?

        1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It's possible.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Of course,in the rules

        No assist

    13. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      De Bruyne goal would cap the night off now

    14. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. Rowse
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            9 years, 8 months ago

            It can be added later.

    15. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

        2. Davidinho
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 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?

    21. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Count them

    22. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        still waiting for my first decent haul...

        1. Art Vandelay
          • 15 Years

          Hang in there mate. 😀

      2. Planet Jo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

    23. andy85wsm

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    26. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      So first no Hummels assist and now no KDB assist.

      This game sucks.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        how no hummels assist?

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thought he got the final touch before Draxler scored 😕

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        9.5 I think

    28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      FPL should introduce this assist rule

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He did kind of put him on his way

    29. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. Zasa
          • 11 Years

          ...but Pep 😯

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years

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

              You fecker 🙁 Dammit you're probably right too

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years

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

        1. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

    30. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      Freaking unbelievable.

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It's ridiculous.

      2. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 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
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

            1. Dušan Citizen
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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

              1. VS10_
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

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

    31. Henryyy
