Michael Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) This will be a big test for Belgium, they really need the win, but if Romania play as well as they did in their opening match, then there's a decent chance the Romanians could win again and shock the Belgians. Belgium will need to be on their "A game", if they want to get their desired result in this match. Edited June 21 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted Saturday at 18:43 Share Posted Saturday at 18:43 Looking forward to this game and seeing how it plays out. Romania are really hard to break down and attack in numbers on the break, they have the skill-full players to do damage when they attack. While Belgium boast a plethora of skilled attacking players who will be going for the much needed win today, seeing as they lost their opening match against Slovakia.

Michael Posted Saturday at 18:52 Share Posted Saturday at 18:52 (edited) Belgium make 4 changes to the starting line-ups that started against Slovakia. Lukebakio, Tielemans, Vertonghen and Theate all start in place of Trossard, Mangala, Debast and Carrasco. While for Romania, they only make one change from the team that started against Ukraine, as Parma's Mihaila starts in place of Florinel Coman on the wing. Belgium: GK: Casteels - RB: Castagne, CB: Faes, CB: Vertonghan, LB: Theate - CM: Tielemans, CM: Onana, AM: De Bruyne, LW: Doku, RW: Lukebakio - CF: Lukaku Romania: GK: Nita - RB: Ratiu, CB: Dragusin, CB: Burca, LB: Bancu - DM: Marian Marin, DM: Razvan Marin, AM: Stanciu, LW: Mihaila, RW: Dennis Man -CF: Dragus Edited Saturday at 18:59 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted Saturday at 18:59 Author Administrator Share Posted Saturday at 18:59 Should be a straight forward win for Belgium. They need to win convincingly to take the pressure off after the Slovakia game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted Saturday at 19:01 Share Posted Saturday at 19:01 The commentator makes a mistake saying Belgium have made 3 changes to the side that started against Slovakia, when in reality 4 changes have been made from that match for Belgium.

Michael Posted Saturday at 19:20 Share Posted Saturday at 19:20 Tielemans has justified the managers decision to start him today with that goal. Lukebakio has also looked very lively and has done well so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted Saturday at 19:40 Share Posted Saturday at 19:40 There would be some absolute bargains in this Romanian side. Most I'd imagine play within their league system. Someone like Ipswich could really top up their squad with a few of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few of these players play in Romania, they mostly play in Italy, Spain and Turkey. But many were in demand for transfers before this tournament. However, their performances so far at these Euros will have increased the demand for them. Edited Saturday at 19:50 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted Saturday at 19:48 Share Posted Saturday at 19:48 Well that was a great start from Belgium and they showed some lovely attacking moves in that 1st half. But Romania despite conceding so early, have created chances themselves. They play like a real team unit, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted Saturday at 20:01 Share Posted Saturday at 20:01 Dragusin of Tottenham has still been one of my defenders of the tournament so far. He's a very influential defender, despite his young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
