I've hesitated a long time, because even now it isn't unthinkable that Belgium doesn't qualify for the World Cup. They are in a group with Croatia (currently ranked fourth) and at the moment are equal on point s with that team. Whoever ends second of these teams, will have bad luck. Both teams deserve to qualify.
But nevertheless i think a Belgium thread is quite appropriate.
Yesterday Belgium won 2-4 in a friendly match against USA. Arguably the score could have been higher since the ref made a couple of mistakes (Belgium should have got a penalty, IMO Lukaku wasn't off-side when he scored and the American goal scorer clearly pushed JanVertonghen before he scored), but they were also lucky the USA made some blatant mistakes.
I'm glad the US soccer fans got to see our best player, yesterday Kevin De Bruyne once again proved that he is by far our best player (and i haven't forgotten Eden Hazard and Vincent Kompany).
Yesterday both Lukaku and Benteke also proved that they can play both upfront, which is important for the future.
All in all a good match, but now the important thing is to win from Serbia. In Serbia Belgium won the match, but i was very impressed with the first 30 minutes of the Serbian team, they could have led with 3-0 by then...
PS: when Belgium played the USA at home, i was very impressed with Agudelo, what happened with him ???
