Who's beating Belgium? Hard to start against Italy though.

Kompany to miss the tournament for Belgium, while Italy will be without their best two CMs Marchisio and Verratti

I think we're going to play like this:
Courtois
Alderweirld - Denayer - Lombaerts (or Vermaelen when fit) - Vertonghen
Witsel - Nainggolan
Carrasco - De Bruyne - Hazard
Lukaku

Seems like a waste to play Alderweireld and Vertonghen at full back, although I know they're passable slotting in there. It's just they've been excellent as a CB partnership for Spurs. Does the Belgium squad really lack for 'true' fullbacks?
Also, Dembele should start over Witsel.

Hey, not a big Football fan here. What do you think, is Belgium a good sporting bet with 10 to 1 odds? Do you consider Belgium a contender, what are their chances? My knowledge is very limited, I just know Belgium has some good young talent, thats it. Want to put my money on some team to make Euro more interesting.

I also prefer them in the central defence, but I think Wilmots will play them like that. I think we can switch Toby and Denayer, but Wilmots is very high on Vermaelen. Thomas played well against the Swiss and looks fit. Let's hope he stays fit for a change.
We don't have standout full backs, although I was impressed with Jordan Lukaku against the Swiss. Ciman on the right is just to slow and Meunier is injured at this moment.

I think we're a dark horse, but certainly not big favorites.

I think this is the hardest group.
As for Belgium's chances of winning, I think they are the dark dogs alongside Portugal.
The favorites have to be France and Germany, followed by Spain and then Belgium/Portugal.
I don't see England nor Italy doing well, Italy is in the middle of a strange period and are missing two of their top 5 players from midfield. (arguably the most important part of the pitch)

10 to 1 is not a good odd. Belgium is a good team but with four/five other teams more likely to win they should have at least a 18-20 to 1 odds.

Belgium are just bottlers. They've been ever since May 18, 1940.

Yes, I'm sure that Nazi military victories in Belgium during the war have a great deal of influence on their 21st century football teams. Stop trying to stir ****.

Belgium losing to Norway after drawing against Finland.
And people still think these bottlers have a chance of winning the tournament.

De Bruyne seems the biggest bust in recent era.
Dude is horrible.
