Israel - Belgium

[Christiaan]

Tonight Israel plays against Belgium for the European Football Championship qualifiers.

What do all the Israelis think about this game? Do you still support for your country? I heard in the news that the Israelis are not happy that they lost 0-3 against Wales on Saturday.

I think Belgium will win this game

My 2 favourite teams

I think 0-2

Belgium should beat them fairly comfortably if the Wales match is anything to go off. Hoping for a draw so that Wales have a better chance of getting through to the finals.

0 - 1, red card Vincent Kompany in the 64th minute.

Still 20 minutes to go.

Belgium are a very good team but they have this horrible habit of making things as difficult as possible for themselves - always trying to "do too much" .

Note - I'm not Israeli njor am I related to the Israeli area in any capacity.

And Belgium has got a not so well coach (Wilmots)

An excellent first half (except of deciding the game in the 1st half already) and than it was over... seekings problems for nothing. In the end Israel even deserved to make the draw.

It's clear in this group who will be number 1 and 2: Belgium & Wales. Israel should try to be the 3th. Is possible with 4 points ahead of Bosnia and 3 of Cyprus, but neither not that easy with away games in Belgium, Bosnia and Wales. I hope Israel will make it, but I truly doubt it. Also if they make it, the play offs will be difficult.

Axel Witsel should get his baby yesterday/today (or maybe already has). So yesterday after the match he was allowed to leave immediately after the game. A private jet was waiting for him to fly him back home.
In this video you can see how he ran out of the locker room after the game: http://nieuws.vtm.be/stadion/135219-...amer-na-match#
