can belgium win the world cup? +1400

**MakePwithMe** · 05-14-14, 11:04 AM

No fullbacks will cost Belgium dearly, Radja Nainggolan not being called up is a big mistake regardless of personal issues. Benteke as the go to man was perfect after a poor season with Villa by his standards this World Cup was made for him, Lukaku is good enough but Benteke is different class.

If you want to lay money on an underdog go with Colombia or France these sides have a better chance and easier group.

Do you think Lukaku has ever reached the level of Benteke in season 12/13?

**Big Bear** · 05-14-14, 12:28 PM

Will Columbia's star striker be ready for the World Cup?

Absolutely. lukaku scored 17 goals in tht season, only 2 less than benteke, and has scored 15 this season and 5 assists. At least he has shown tht he can do it in more than one season unlike benteke who was hopeless this season

Unlikely. If they play falcao he wont be anywhere near matchfit. He's going just to keep morale up and act as main influence and leader in the camp and to keep the Colombia fans happy

Playing for Everton this season & Villa this season is completely different, when Benteke is at the top of his game he is Belgiums best striker if you deny that then we are done here.

**biggerleaffan** · 05-14-14, 12:44 PM

2018 for Belgium
Maybe 2022

Kompany in defence and then who??

**Seaweed** · 05-14-14, 12:45 PM

Some good prop bets. What do you guys think about the opening match?

Top Team Goalscorer
Switzerland - Josip Drmic +250

Imo this will hit best value I see at the moment, what ever you can get for it take it.

That's a decent bet. It's funny how their team is full of immigrants. They should pass the group too

**Oleg Zullanski** · 05-14-14, 01:44 PM

Is it just me or I think the Latin American teams will dominate over European / African / Asian teams?

They are playing at "home", they are used to that climate and they want to show to the world that its not only Brazil / Argentina / Uruguay.

Teams to consider: Ecuador, Chile and why not Honduras

Last but not least, my predictions as which teams will qualify from each group

Group A: Brazil, Croatia
Group B: Spain, Chile
Group C: Colombia, Japan
Group D: Uruguay, Italy
Group E: Ecuador, France
Group F: Argentina, Bosnia
Group G: Germany, Portugal
Group H: Belgium, Korea Republic

Good luck to all!

Yes looking back at the results of the 2006 world cup in Germany all the European teams dominated.

So i definitely expect a South American team to win it...

However isnt June/July the Winter in Brazil? It won't be that hot will it?

Yes tht is very good value, id expect tht nearer +150 to +180 range. I guess they thinks Shaqiri has decent chance of being their top scorer

Could say same about wba last season. It doesnt matter what team you play for if you cant even control the ball or do a basic pass.

**CollegeOverUnder** · 05-15-14, 02:55 AM

Can they beat South Korea in Group play? Im not convinced and cant wait for Korea to take down Russia.

+250 is worse odds available. +400 on ladbrokes

**packerd_00** · 05-15-14, 10:29 AM

Its possible,the odds aren't very juicy though. 14/1 isn't enough for a nation such as Belguim,that's never had even a sniff of a WC title.

**homie1975** · 05-18-14, 11:41 PM

However will the Brazilian fans be able to afford tickets?

Peddle cocaine in the staduim parking lot. Then yes. They can buy some tickets

**Burkina2008** · 05-19-14, 09:46 AM

Is it possible? Yes, if aliens came and killed all national teams except for Belgium and Iran...

**Scottish** · 05-19-14, 10:10 AM

Waste of money, Belgium used to be underrated now they're so overrated it's crazy, won't get past the QF.

best goalie in the world and as much talent as anyone.

It will be winter time in Brazil so the climate shouldnt be an issue for European squads.

**hurricane1091** · 05-19-14, 10:43 AM

USA beats Ghana, ties Portugal, and loses to Germany to get out of the group stage. You heard it here first. Germany wins all group stage games. Ghana loses to USA and Germany and ties Portugal. Portugal ties USA, Ghana, and loses to Germany.
