    Barca should be in for right-back, centre-back, centre-mid and a wide player and sell/loan Turan, Halilovic, Munir and Sandro.

    Ter-Stegen
    Fabinho Pique Umtiti Alba
    Busquets
    Koke Iniesta
    Messi Suarez Neymar

    Bravo
    Vidal Vermaelen Mathieu Adriano
    Mascherano
    S.Roberto Rakitic
    Rafinha Pedro/Nolito D.Suarez

    That would be a good squad, filled in players who they have been linked with

    Looking forward to seeing us put the final nail in the coffin of this Belgian myth tomorrow.

    2-0 Ireland.

    I noticed the other day they played a midfield 3 of Witsel, Nainggolan and Fellaini. Not bad players but none of them are that great on the ball, they all seem to be more physical destroyer types and then they usually have no full-backs and I think Lukaku is very hit and miss too. Basically if you can stop Hazard they look a very average team. Coleman will certainly need a bit of help though stopping Hazard which I hope is something that Martin looks at.

    I honestly think if we play like we did vs Sweden we have every chance of beating them tomorrow. COYBIG :celt_2:

    My worry is that one of their individuals pulls something out of the bag for them and punishes us, we need to be clinical.

    I'm not worried about Belgium as a team though, I think even if we lose today we will be more than comfortable in the game. It won't be like against Germany where we were behind the ball for near on 90 minutes and hanging on at times.

    Mate just pointed out there has only been 1 day so far where there hasn't been a draw in the games so far ( which the bookies must be loving)

    Bearing that in mind three singles on draws today looks fair enough with only 1 needed to show a profit.

    Ireland v Belgium 12-5
    Iceland v Hungary 21-10
    Portugal v Austria 13-5

    Dembele and Carrasco starting for Belgium. Both should have started the first game.

    Ireland were great against Sweden but I fear the worst for them today. Carrasco and Hazard down the wings will he challenging to say the least.

    They're definitely a more difficult proposition with Dembele and Carrasco but Hazard has been * for months. Living off his name and thinking he's better than he is.

    Wasn't so long ago Mourinho stated he's on Messi and Ronaldo's level :52:

    Aye but Mourinho will be saying that about Ashley Young in a couple of months time.

    I think Ireland will draw, Iceland will draw and Portugal will win.

    Wouldn't surprise me Minty as I said on the last page backing draws would have seen you do well in the tournament so far.

    If I'm no too pished later I might actually look at what your profit would have been backing draws in all the games so far.
