You probably stumbled upon this blog because you were looking for something related with the Belgian national football team or Belgian football in general. That's why I started this humble blog, because, as of now, there's a lack of analytical coverage (in English or otherwise) of the Belgian national team. It's true, the recent results of the team nicknamed the Rode Duivels or Diables Rouges (that translates to "Red Devils" in English), probably haven't warranted much coverage, unless it's negative, but there some signs that could change. There are definitely some talented players that could launch us into the spotlight on the world stage.
So what exactly will I be covering? In addition to previews and reports on national team games, I would also like to spotlight some players that could make an impact for the Rode Duivels. By that, I don't just mean players like Thomas Vermaelen, Eden Hazard or Marouane Fellaini. I'll try also to look out for guys who may not be that well known, like Kevin de Bruyne, Christian Benteke or Nacer Chadli. Over August, in the run up to the first matches of Euro Cup 2012 qualifying, I'll attempt to give a rundown on every viable option for each position in the Belgian lineup in an objective and fair manner.
The next coming months will be crucial for establishing the future of the Belgian national team. The supporters are tired of painful defeats and disinterested players. They are tired of watching guys who look like they are playing as individuals rather than as a bloc. They are tired of former coaches bashing the set up of our team. Euro Cup qualification is the goal, so join me as I write about Belgium's attempts to get past an ominous group headlined by the always fearsome Germany and a Guus Hiddink-managed Turkey. It looks like it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Good try.Keep it up.
