Below is the confirmed team that will be, at home, facing Czech Republic:

Forwards
Romelu Lukaku (West Brom), Benamin Mokulu (Lokeren), Tom De Sutter (Anderlecht)
Midfielders
Jens Naessens (Zulte Wargem), Leopold Njengo (Genk), Paul-Jose Mpoku (Standard), Dolly Menga (Torino), Kevin De Bruyne (Werder Bremen), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Kevin Mirallas (Everton), Marouane Fellaini (Chelsea), Axel Witsel (Zenit), Alper Uludag (Ingolstadt)
Defenders
Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham), Bernard Malanda (Zulte Wargem), Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal), Gregory Mertens (Cercle Brugge), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Guillaume Gillet (Anderlecht), Jordan Lukaku (Tubize)
Goalkeepers
Thibaut Courtois (At. Madrid), Colin Coosemans (Waasland-Beveren), Frank Boeckx (AA Gent)

Once again it seems Belgium are playing a weaker side than usual, but this time, the surprise faces in the squad have all performed very well recently. For example, Jordan Lukaku has impressed for the Belgium U21s. Some big names have not made it in to the team, but as the game is only a friendly, it is not too much of a shocker.

You'll never win anything with kids sorry, I mean, err, The Children are our future!

3-1 Belgium, can't wait until all your players tun into stars.

Nice result, well presented too

I love the presentation and good result

The squad below will be facing Macedonia away:

Forwards
Romelu Lukaku (West Brom), Benamin Mokulu
Midfielders
Alper Uludag (Ingolstadt), Axel Witsel (Zenit), Radja Nainggolan (SLB), Marouane Fellaini (Chelsea), Kevin Mirallas (Everton), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Kevin De Bruyne (Werder Bremen), Dolly Menga (Torino), Paul-Jose Mpoku (Standard), Leopold Njengo (Genk)
Defenders
Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham), Bernard Malanda (Zulte Wargem), Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal), Olivier Deschacht (Anderlecht), Daniel Van Buyten (FC Bayern), Guillaume Gillet (Anderlecht), Jordan Lukaku (Tubize), Sebastien Pocognoli (Hannover)
Goalkeepers
Thibaut Courtois (At. Madrid), Colin Coosemans (Waasland-Beveren), Frank Boeckx (AA Gent)

Some big names are out for these games, such as Vincent Kompany, who tore a groin muscle, meaning he may miss Belgium's next round of internationals, too. There were not too many shock inclusions, no more than last time round.

Nice win, great game once again, you certainly have an exciting team

As Belgian players return to their clubs, heading home from Macedonia, most must have confidence in their performance over the qualifiers. So far, they have one all but one game, which ended 3-3 against Scotland.


Eden Hazard talked to press before heading back to London to train with his club, Chelsea, the winger being a key player in Mbo Mpenza's Belgium setup, young, fast and skillful, Hazard seems like the perfect choice for any national team.

I think you could win the world cup.

Any chance you could screw up in all five games and crash out?

It looks like you've won that group, time to build your team for the main event!

Just read this all from the start, and so glad I did. A great story Toon, with some good results, and an excellent layout. Easy to read and still looks great. Keep it up, and good luck in the World Cup. I would say in the rest of the qualifiers, but you seem to have stormed it!

Mbo Mpenza has released a statement to fans and, more importantly, Belgian pro footballers everywhere, revealing that if Belgium beat Croatia, he will be willing to give less known players a chance if they are playing well.


Belgium are currently top of their table, trailed by Croatia. It seems Mpenza's plans will all rely on if they win or they do not. Last time the two sides met, they played in Croatia, and Belgium were victorious, meaning fans are hopeful for getting all 6 points out of them.
