vandaq Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Saw it on Twitter. A 2002 Belgian magazine article looking at the teams future stars. Seems pretty accurate. wow. That is pretty insane actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted October 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 16, 2013 That article is amazing. Even the lesser known ones are all playing at a good level. Not a dud in the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Apparently the article might have been written recently and it was looking back at them in 2002 rather than correctly predicting the future national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 bizarre article as if was published in 2002 then Timmy Simons was 26 and played Champions League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Part of me wonders how these Belgians will do with the continuous hype and new expectation placed upon them. We've seen how the English 'Golden generation' performed, hopefully the Belgians wilt under heavy expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to see a small country like Belgium produce so much talent and unlike England, the golden generation is not just 3 or 4 players. They have options in all positions.

coda Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Belgium lost at home 2-0 to Columbia a few days ago. Maybe a reality check like Chile for Hodgson. Falcao was begging for Mourinho to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 well its only a friendly but am not convinced by this Belgium hype myself. Colombia will be a better outside bet in Brazil, especially if drawn in teh north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yes but Belgium had enough chances to have the game out of sight before Colombia scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larscapaldi Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Colombia still was the better team overall though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
