Off to Wembley tonight, as much as I am looking forward to it, would much rather be watching us at the Valley. Fixtures due in 17 days.

    Be interesting to see how our lads cope with Kompany.

    First view of Eden Hazzard for most England fans as well. Curious to see if he can live up to the hype.

  • Have to say Belgium should be qualifying for tournaments soon...

    Hazard
    Vermaelen
    Kompany
    Dembele
    Lukaku
    Witsel
    Verthongen
    Fellaini
    Defour
    Mignolet
    Courtois
    Aldeweereld

    All with their best days ahead of them. Great foundation.

    Looking forward to seeing them go for it tonight.

    I fancied them as outsiders for the Euros till I looked and they didn't make it.

    Considering how small their population is that's a good team.

    Their group for the world cup qualifiers sees them against Croatia, Serbia, Scotland and Wales so I'd imagine they'll win that

    Always had a soft spot for Belgium, a very underated country, and great beer to boot.

    Well we all know how good golden generations can be.mdoes look like a decent side on paper, interesting that them and Switzerland always seem to produce decent youth sides, maybe finally they are bringing through enough quality to the senior sides

    Maybe but I just haven't enjoyed it much prefer Bruge
  • I'm so uninspired by England. I used to love international matches, now they usually bore me to death. What's changed, other than being older? I think it might be the fact most of the players are very unlikable.

    i expect us to lose as Belgium have some very good players. But if we win I will have hope that we can get through the group stages at least.

    Lets not make it one of those threads guys ... Reckon this will be a surprising challenge for the England team, i reckon 2-1.

    pleased to see Henderson in the squad and I hope he plays.

    IMHO we need to forget this tournament in terms of winning but instead use it to build for 2016 and 2018 (we're not going to win in Brazil either).

    Part of that is to stop using the players who have failed and won't be around in 4 years time (Lampard, Gerrard, etc) and give some experience of playing in and being at tournaments to young players with potential which is what Henderson is.

    JH, the young keeper (Butt?) etc are the future. It may mean we don't win every game but it might mean we have a team to compete in the medium term.
