Belgium have been the best team to watch thus far. I'd be happy for them to win the whole thing.

Struggled against Italy, but good from then on.

Played well against Hungry, different class. Seem to have carried that form on in this game.

At present not sure what wales can do.

And with 3 bookings already im not sure i can see Wales finishing with 10 men.

Hazard should have had a free-kick there.

Hazard should have got the free kick there, but did not, so should have been pinged for handling the ball.

And Wales should have leveled. Belgium diving to much at present.

But the ref gave deliberate handball and then Hazard threw the ball away, definite yellow card, especially after the soft card he gave a Welsh player moments before.

Deserve that for the last 5 minutes.

Set pieces and Wales.

They know their limitations, and their strengths.

Belgium stop diving :angry
