Euro 2016 Big Match: Belgium vs Hungary

Belgium, one of the nations that gathers most talented Euro recovered their self-esteem after having taken two consecutive wins on Sunday measured in Toulouse to Hungary devoid of stars, based on enthusiasm and collective work, has become in one of the surprises of the tournament.

The best example is Hazard, stringing and 637 minutes without scoring with the selection, but given the attendances of the last two many Belgians.

The Chelsea player, who attribute means a bad personal relationship with De Bruyne, is the great captain and from now, when parties are heads or tails, is expected to make a difference.

The coach has not guaranteed the presence of Mousa Dembélé and Yannick Carrasco, who dragged physical problems.

Belgium has broken certain euphoria, because his team has shown a good face and that after Hungary, a rival within reach, a quarter-final against Wales or Northern Ireland, two debutants in the competition appear.

Comfortably situated on the easy part of the picture, despite having been behind Italy in qualifying, Belgian and dream of the semifinals, although the coach insists on cooling the euphoria.

That superiority is precisely the best weapon of Hungarians, barely making a sound, led his group and presented in the second round as the scorer nation, with 6 goals, tied with Wales, and as a hard compact and solid team break.


Settled in a selection of experience, symbolized in his singular goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly and tracksuit, the oldest football competition, Hungary aims to reminiscing laurels and become a glorious generation.Hungary lacks a great scorer, but has achieved half of its many from outside the area.

The Belgians have never lost against Hungarians in competition and in their last match in the World Cup in Spain in 1982, a draw Alex Czerniatynski in the last minute of the match allowed the Red Devils past the first round at the expense of the Magyars.

The other official match was played in 1972, when the third, which ended with Belgian triumph played.
