Underestimating Belgium?

Is it just me or it seems like everyone is underestimating Belgium? They really don’t seem that bad compared to Spain , who struggled to win till last min against Uruguay & Portugal (all at 90mins+ mark) and they tied 0-0 against a small country named Cabo Verde.

All the touts, public and their dog on Spain

Portugal is way better than Belgium chief.

for good reason. Best press in the world. Outside of Porto game, didn’t allow a SOT till 75th. xG of like 1.15 all tournament. Belgium ranks bottom half conversion WHOLE TOURNAMENT. USA showing doesn’t say much at all…..

Another Spain clean sheet.

spain -1 and yamal to score. 

Who's at home watching this on their TV right now?

First game groups is always tough playing for country vs club.

This will not be a slam dunk for Spain,  but a tough battle. 

I've got 0-0, Under. Both 1H, draw regulation and Belgium + half a goal also regulation

I see a 0-0 final in my crystal ball

BOL 

dont overthink it

Obviously Spain plays great defense and they like to slow the gajme now, that's been the trend through out the tournament. Belgium is good enough to get at least one goal, in my opinion. That's where my money is.

All chalk in the round of 8.

@barneybeans

 It is not an easy one for spain. This is a belgium team that wont matter to give the ball to spain liek th eoters before, the difference is that they have a counter attack (in case spain does not fishish a possession) that is lethal and coul eventually create opportunities for them As you I see a low scoring match; maybe a tied at the half!!! 

Good luck

I think Belgium is pretty fortunate to be here. Spain is just in a final boss type league after waffles have faced. They won't benefit from 2 goal lead meltdowns or egregious defensive and goalkeeper play. I agree that everyone on them can be scary but it is deserved in this case. Just seems like taking Belgium is overthinking it and you'll be left with the "what was I thinking" feeling after. 

Yes 

1-1 near half time. See what I meant? People underestimated Belgium like they’ll get mowed.

 Gj man 

@ayashifx55

Just too many on Spain EVERYWHERE for my liking. Just took Belgium or Draw double result at halftime. Spain could very well advance, they’re the better team but it’s going to take an extra period if they do. But what the hell do I know..

Spain will control 2half 

@Wingit

 They controlled the 1st half as well..was a tie….give me the same tie in the 2nd and I’m happy 

@jackets77

 Exactly, Belgium is fortunate for that goal. This feels like a 2-1,3-1 final
