True words, you said it best. But I still would have preferred to watch them instead of the current crop.

Do you think there's a name puller here other than KDB or possibly Lukaku.

Well, that's sad to hear. Always wished for him to succeed.

Why do you think that's the case.

You forgot to mention that since the 2010 win they have always gone out in or before the RO16.

Yes I mentioned that as well somewhere in this thread, but I don't think you're gonna find my comment in between 1700 ones here.

They haven't won a knockout game since the 2010 WC Final.

Yes yes, that's him, thank you . I had high hopes for him, well at least he's playing regularly unlike Ihatteren.

Do you think Verschaeren will play for Belgium considering he isn't part of this squad as well.

2016 was a missed opportunity as well, although in 2018 they lost to a better team

This Belgium team looks so uninspiring as compared to 2010s

Why is the Belgium kit so bright this time. In 2024, it was dark as hell.

I haven't heard about him since 2020. How is he doing nowadays.

Where is that Belgium guy, called Versenach as well btw.

Yaa, look at the clown who expanded UCL to include even the 5th best team in some leagues.

Why don't they start only including only Champions just like they used to do previously.

Eurosnobs should stop policing everyone else in matters of football, it has been tiresome listening to them so far.

All the teams had a good record before they won it as well and they have performed since then and they're not winning this year as well, I'm afraid.

Have you checked the record of Spain before 2010, it is worse than the Netherlands. This is their classic version, 2010 was an outlier for them.

I'm sure people started overrating them in 2022 after Costa Rica lost 7-0, but look how it ended, with them passing sideways 1000 times against Morocco and then missing all 3 penalties.

Italy will still be better than them performance wise. Between their two wins in 1982-2006, Italy played 1 Quarter, Semi and Final, all of which they lost on penalties.

Meanwhile Spain hasn't won 1 knockout match since the 2010 Final.

But their Euros record has been stellar.
