what are Belgium’s chances of making the final?

[Ashmurbox]

I feel they certainly have a good chance to go far in the tournament but won't find themselves winning it. Take a look at their potential path to the final, there's no way they can beat some of the heavyweights (that's not to say it's impossible, however).

Here's a great bracket challenge at toovia to use as a predictor, the grand prize is $2k.

Much better chance than Belgium, especially if Brazil/Spain meet each other in the round-of-16 (if one comes 2nd in their group)

When did this obsession with Belgium begin? And why?

They have a couple of decent players, and went undefeated in a garbage group in qualifying.

They're nothing speical as a team though.

Dark horse my ass.

A solid team for sure, but the lack of any outside backs ( play 4 cbs across the back) and the fact that they left nainggolan at home which is shocking as i thought he would be a starter, and with benteke hurt a lot of pressure on lukaku to score, at best I see a quarter final

Belgium will be a solid fade given this "dark horse" hype lmao
