World Cup 2014
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
I know it's been the fashionable thing in the past 2 years to talk up Belgium's chances for this summer but at the current price they must be a lay.
Their players will be generally unsuited to conditions and much of the hype seems to centre around the fact that a lot of their squad ply their trade in the Premiership; probably the most overrated league in Europe as things stand.
They'll probably do themselves proud but can't have them at 20/1 (as short as 14/1 with some firms!), when you have old hands like Italy, France and Holland along with some of the better S.American teams at bigger prices.

Thanks for that 1/18 shot....
Great side. Have backed them at 20/1 for Euro 2016. Have plenty of black players so should handle conditions fine and have a very very easy group |

Wasn't really intended as a tip. Just to say that the 'hype' team of the past 18 months have now had all the value squeezed out of them. There's no doubting they're a decent enough side but the likes of Lukaku, Mirrallas etc. may find this a lot harder than your average Premiership defence.
Fair play to those who got the fancy prices a while back but can't see why anyone would want to back them at their current price. |

Half the teams in this would be relegated from the premier league imo |

the key to the world cup is to play like a team. no way this group is ready to do that. lay away.

Quite right, any value has long gone. An easy looking group to get out of but then it's likely to be Germany or Portugal in the last 16, both I think would have too much for Belgium. 2016/18 a better bet.
