Would love to see him flop for his antics. Decent player but putting up a show like this after playing well in France is just a joke :D

Think we have all the best talent from Belgium? xD Cortios fantastic keeper going to be the best in the world FACT! Lukaku great promise a mini Drogba so strong and quick. DeBruyne excellent winger can play as the creative midfielder too depending on what you want him to do, great two feet. Hazard, well has the potential to be as good as a Ronaldo in his talent pedigree. Not bad.
Rumours past few transfer windows we were after Fellanni too which would make us Belgium FC i guess! Haha.

Well to have all the best talent, you would still need Kompany, Vertongen, Vermaelen and Witsel. But Chelsea definitely has a large chunck of the belgian talent indeed, I really hope they can all develop there. Because all of them still have alot to prove ofcourse.
And De Bruyne should be played as a central attacking mid, that is by far his best position. But I think both Courtois, De Bruyne and Lukaku should be loaned out this season, I dont think one of them can claim a starting spot in Chelsea already.

Yeah we are sending Cortios back on loan him himself said he would like 1year in england premier league before playing for Chelsea, but i think he will go back to Atletico again. And DeBruyne will be given pre season with us and if he performs well he will stay if not he will be out back on loan too, according to club i think. But who knows we might have a new manager and new tactics and what not then! Hello Pep? xD

It's Courtois and it's not like he's going to actually play for Chelsea any time soon if Cech keeps owning it up like he does now.

If Guardiola manages Chelsea next year, I'm going to die. This guy is a good leader but a poor tactician.

Chelsea need a long term planner. Someone who is going to take care of the transition between the first Abrahamovitch generation and the upcoming one.

we need Roberto for fuck's sake, how hard is it for the board to understand that he is THE man for the job. THE man.

Di Matteo should definitely continue as the leader. Chelsea has a lot of big egos and he seems to be able to handle them. Also, he's probably cheap as hell and with a CL win, he should have no problem luring talent to the club. Hazard will definitely be a big boost, unless he breaks under the pressure of playing in the PL.

Surprised they signed Cech to another 4-year deal. I thought they'd keep him around for another season or two, and then put Courtois between the sticks. Cech is a monster though, so I don't disapprove.

In other news, Swansea have signed miracle loan Sigurdsson with a £6.8 million deal, which makes it the highest transfer in the club's history.

belgium's squad is sooooo stacked, if all the young players fulfill their potential it will be scary to think how good they can be.

Definitely. They will be a force to be reckoned with for the World Cup qualis. They are stacked as hell with big talent.

They actually have a chance to get into 2014 as they got Serbia and Croatia as top teams in their qual group. But having a handful of promising 20 year olds does not suddenly make them the team to beat.

Of course. I'd still hold at least Croatia over them as of now, but Belgium's talent pool is amazing: Coutois (20), Mignolet (23), Alderweireld (23), Verthongen (25), Vermaelen (26), Kompany (26), Fellaini (24), Witsel (23), Hazard (21), Mertens (25), Defour (24), Chadli (22), Nainggolan (24), Dembélé (24), Lukaku (19), De Bruyne (20), and the crazy thing is that I'm probably missing someone. Belgium should have a great future to look forward to. I can see them being a huge threat at the 2016 Euros (2014 might be too early).

If the Euro Cup qualification is any indication they will have a hard time qualifying for the World Cup, Turkey was definitely a worse team than Croatia and was still more than a match for Belgium.

He shouldn't play for Benefica, or any else for that matter. Hes dirty and should have gotten expelled from the sport.
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

Care to elaborate? I haven't seen anything of the Portuguese league or Benfica for that matter this season, besides the first lag vs Chelsea. Is he a diver, or what?

+ Cech just signed a new 4 year deal.

Btw Italian FA withdrew Criscito from the Euros because he is under investigation for match fixing. That's quite amazing. Meanwhile, John Terry will be there.

Will be pretty interesting if the match fixing scandal will have an effect on Italy's performance.
