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 upsets me about fantasy football is you cheer on the bullies and don't support the underdogs as you would otherwise do.

    Feel so sorry for Hungary. They've contributed a lot to Euro 2016 and given it a good go this game. Big following as well. They don't deserve this.

      Tbh, I do not understand the "they deserved it" or "they didn't deserve it" statements.

      90mins. 11 players each side. You get battered 4-0. Sure you give it your all but if you loose 4-0 you did something wrong and surely "deserve to loose"?

    Genuinely haven't a clue how De Bruyne didn't get that assist. Yes I know the rule book. But he passed it to the goal scorer? That is the definition of an assist.

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

        It sounds like they mean that a player can't assist himself. I see your point as the phrasing is ambiguous but no need to be so blunt with everyone.
