The only area Belgium are really lacking is at fullback. Vertonghen’s obviously a centre-half by trade and their right-back (his name escapes me) isn’t exactly taking the world by storm.

Mignolet’s first choice between this sticks although Courtios is clearly going to get the gloves sooner rather than later.

Whilst a World Cup is probably out of the question a European Championship should be within their capabilities, but then again, as you alluded to, there’s plenty of ‘Golden – Generations’ around the world that have failed before…
