Tbh after a performance like this I'd like to believe that Belgium's biggest obstacle is that they got the weaker part of the KO games, avoiding Spain, England, Germany, Italy and France entirely.
Vs all those teams, counter-attacks like today's could have been an impressive threat, while Wales, Portugal etc. will most likely not go on offense at all and thus be taking that threat away and force them to build-up slowly, which isn't their greatest strength.
Decent game by de Bruyne, Hazard and imo Mertens as well. Lukaku tried a lot and worked his as* off for most of the game, but tbh he simply doesn't have the speed or technical abilities to participate in Belgium's counter-attacks. He visibly lacked the skill to keep those attacks going 2 or 3 times today and he basically killed Hazard's best run and a possible opportunity to go 1on1 vs. Kiraly during the first half.
