The clock is ticking, then again this could be Hungary's time to | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
emulate the magnificent Magyars from yesteryear. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
We are ready for the match of the century, there is an exhibition of | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
ball control, look at that. They open them up with a little shimmy | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
and a shake of the hips, fantastic. The land of the mighty Magyars of | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
the 50s. Szalai! Would you believe it! What a | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
brilliant finish to finish off Austria! Hungary level at the end. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Zoltan Gera for Hungary. The strike and the deflection carries it in, it | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
is unbelievable. Dudek for the second time, Hungary through to the | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
last 16 safely. Summit expected of this Belgian side. Italy top Group E | :01:48. | :01:58. | |
and Belgian bottom of it. The side ranked number two in the world have | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
scored their first goal of the tournament. Witsel with the header, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
2-0. Lukaku, it must be three, it is. Nainggolan, great goal! . | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
Belgian go on to phase Hungary in the round of 16. STUDIO: Belgian | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
firm favourites, ranked number two in the world, boasting the most it | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
spins of squat in the Euros with familiar throughout the team. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Hungary are not be underestimated. This may be their first appearance | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
at major tournament since 1986 but they finished top of Group F and | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
were joint top scorers in the first round. Here for this one are Alan | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Shearer, Thierry Henry and Rio Ferdinand. This golden generation, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
it is kind of now or never, you suspect. I totally agree. We all | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
know the vast majority of the players because of the Premier | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
League. They are very, very good players and you are right, it is not | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
too dissimilar to England's so-called generation a few years ago | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
with Beckham, Rio, Michael Owen, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard. All | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
right! Ashley Cole. You get the feeling that if this team isn't | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
successful pretty soon they might miss their big opportunity. When you | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
look at their side of the draw they now have, if they were to win | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
tonight with Wales in the next game, the quarterfinals, Portugal or | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Poland in the semifinals, this is an unbelievable opportunity for these | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
guys to be successful now. And just thinking what a let down you lot | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
were. I couldn't believe it! They had a slow start but won their last | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
two games. We were slightly critical of them early on, saying perhaps | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
they are a bit more individualistic. You can't stop thinking about the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
individuals because they are some great guys that light up the Premier | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
League. So far they haven't played as well as a unit, as a team. They | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
played well in the second half against Ireland on the counters. I | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
wasn't convinced about them against Sweden. There is one thing that I | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
don't really understand and I was asking Rio about it before there is | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
a great partnership in the middle of your back four. What I mean is | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
having Vertonghen and Alderweireld who play together at Tottenham, but | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
he keeps on putting Vertonghen on the left, and I don't know if that | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
really suits him. Today are specially, I wanted to ask Rio, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
would you not like to play with the guy that you play with at your club? | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
I would be fuming, if I was in the changing room I would say to the | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
manager, play me in my best position, I've been centre-half in | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
the last few years, one of the best in the Premier League, the most | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
entertaining league in the world, he is my partner and we have a great | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
relationship. You Olmo you need good partnerships across the pitch and | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Vermaelen doesn't play at his club as good as he is, so to play him in | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
that position baffles me. It is a gamble. What about Hungary? They | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
have been surprisingly open, so many underdogs have played in a cagey man | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
and sat back whereas Hungary had a go, haven't they? That's what you | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
must admire about these guys because the constant theme in this | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
tournament as the so-called underdogs have sat back and had men | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
behind with the ball. This team have gone out and scored goals, | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
entertained, have a certain style they play too, they have a certain | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
style and you have to admire that. I like the fact they shoot from | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
outside the box, they are not scared, they had a goal against | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Portugal, they topped their group, not only by staying at the back and | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
being pragmatic, they were going to have a go at it. We want to see | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
goals and they are doing that. We've seen a few already today. It | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
promises to be really open and spectacular tonight. Another 0-0! | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
More onto night bus my game but two matches have already been played | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
today, the hosts France played the Republic of Ireland in Line, watched | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
by Mark Lawrenson and Jonathan Pearce. | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
COMMENTATOR: Ward. Early cross in, Rami slipped, will it come to Shane | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
Long on the half term? Can he get the shot away? It is a penalty to | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
Ireland! Such a clumsy challenge, no protest from the French. Sensational | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
start! The referee has made Robbie Brady wait a long time. Brady to | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
stun the French, the hosts, and he does. A bit of luck, it came off the | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
posts, it didn't matter, France 0-1 Republic of Ireland. Stunning start! | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
It is absolutely fantastic. It came off the post and in. It doesn't | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
matter, you don't save it. One of the best players in the tournament, | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
he's had a cracking Euro 2016. Can you see what he said there? Put it | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
in there. Just put it in there, he knows they can cause problems. It | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
comes in from Murphy, it got away from his man so easily. Hendrik back | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
to the goalkeeper. Another chance to the Republic of Ireland. From the | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
ball into the penalty area from a throw this time, abject panic. Payet | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
hits the pass and brings in Sagna, looking for Giroud, looking for | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Griezmann and looking for the equaliser and they've got it! France | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
1-1 Republic of Ireland. Antoine Griezmann. Great ball in and just | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
the freedom and space for Griezmann, really good in the centre of the | :07:46. | :07:46. | |
goal, nobody knew him. Hendrick from the throw, allowed to | :07:47. | :08:00. | |
go, mistake by Pogba, it comes back out to Ward and he thought it had | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
deflected away. It did! How can the officials not see that? How can they | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
not see it? The flight of the ball. Crikey. Giroud. Griezmann in space | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
to finish it. It has all turned around. Antoine Griezmann, the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
breaker of Irish hearts, two goals in three minutes. I think this is a | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
gift, two players go towards him and the second of those players should | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
beware Griezmann makes the run. Brilliant finish. It is a good | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
finish. Giroud to pressurise Kia and he has | :08:33. | :08:45. | |
done so, Antoine Griezmann on a hat-trick, into the penalty area, | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
brought down. -- Keoch. He brought him down just outside but he had to | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
go, it was a lunch. You got to make the challenge. He had a good game, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
he was brilliant against Italy. He's had a horrible eight minutes with | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
the Republic of Ireland. We hope we made people proud because our fans | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
are amazing and so is everybody at home. The energy levels started to | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
drop Aggers of the game we had a couple of days before. France had a | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
massive advantage in that aspect. But I couldn't be more proud of the | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
team. A really fantastic effort. And throughout the tournament, and I | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
couldn't be more proud of the supporters. It was a terrific | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
effort, Rio, they gave everything. Their country will be so proud, we | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
all know that. I had lunch with a couple of the boys, Robbie Keane, | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Robbie Brady and a couple of the other boys the other day and you | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
could sense how proud they were and what they were involved in, Robbie | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Brady who played for Man United as a young kid and now you are seeing his | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
potential on the big stage and they are living the dream and it is | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
beautiful to see that they went out fighting, they didn't go out with a | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
whimper, they went out fighting which is what you associate with an | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Irish team. Great start with the penalty. You started to think this | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
might be their day. Just over a minute. Long is clever because he | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
runs into the path of Pogba and he makes it a penalty. Yes, his leg is | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
there, he doesn't trip him, he puts his leg out and connects with him. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
It was definitely a penalty. Just for is bliss second you can see | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Brady, oh no, but it goes in. You began to think, is that there day? | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
They looked pretty comfortable. It definitely was a penalty. They | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
looked comfortable. Having said that, after previous decisions had | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
gone against them they deserve that. LAUGHTER | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
What could you be talking about? Thierry. What could you be talking | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
about? Can we talk about the second-half? To be fair, you've got | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
to hand it to France, and Didier Deschamps and those changes at | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
half-time. He was actually. There is not a competition to be the best | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
coach of the tournament but he is the best coach of the tournament so | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
far because every time he changes the formation, or the personnel, the | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
guys usually respond. What he did in the second-half was put Griezmann | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
just underneath Giroud, where he likes to be, where plays for | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Atletico Madrid, you can see how lethal he is, he is amazing. That is | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
his position. It is his position and he knows what to do there. With all | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
this talk about the width, Bacary Sagna is there, in the box, grey | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
header, amazing. Similar against Albania. Give Bacary Sagna a lot of | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
credit because he picked him out and that is a hell of a header. First | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
and foremost, amazing run from Olivier Giroud. And then that is | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
what he does, that's what he has done all season. Direct. I think | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
people are forgetting that playing with two strikers, that's what you | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
can do straightaway, someone can lay it off, the second goal was also a | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
heck of a finish. That's what he does all year at Atletico Madrid. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Wear them to fight, when the ball came to Giroud he does not sit there | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
admiring and waiting. To go back to it, and that is a foul, no question, | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
and it is a red card. At what I like about this is we were trying to find | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
out a formation, who is the player? We all know that Payet responded | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
well but you have to make Griezmann the key of the team and put him in | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
that situation and position where you know he can kill people. If you | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
guys had to play on the right for England, I don't know if you would | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
have been as prolific as if you were playing in the middle like you did | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
for your club. Most definitely! LAUGHTER | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Going forward I was impressed with his second half but what about | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
defensively because I don't think you looked solid defensively. | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Defensively we didn't look solid. The one guy that looked solid was | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
maybe Koscielny, Bacary Sagna offered a lot offensively, but they | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
didn't get challenges on the wing. Rami looked suspicious, especially | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
on the penalty when he falls at the beginning. Visit Mangala for the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
next game? Is it going to be tutti? I don't know but we have to sort it | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
out. The guys like Mangala, who has been nervous during the season, 40 | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
odd days not playing a match, to come in with no rhythm will be | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
difficult. Have you seen the fan Park scenes? When they scored this | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
was the first toll. It is incredible. Tens of thousands of | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
French fans crammed in by the Eiffel Tower. This is the second goal from | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
a different angle. I don't know about you but the whole Town was | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
going mad, cars were flying by, bikes, beeping horns. Like you guys | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
like to say in England, blimey! LAUGHTER | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
That is what is waiting for England. We have got to beat Iceland first, | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Rio. Don't worry, we will. I always worry. The second game today saw | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
Germany take on Slovakia in Lille and the Germans got off to a good | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
start, the corner and the ball came out and Jerome Boateng, terrific | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
finish, volleyed from outside the box and they went on to win 3-0. We | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
will have highlights of that match at half-time. That is the scene in | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
to lose where Belgium and hungry meat for the right to play Wales in | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Friday's quarterfinal. -- Hungary meet for the right to play Wales. | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
Hungary have surprised lots of people with their performances in | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
France. We saw them against Portugal the other day, fantastic game, 3-3 | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
draw. Martin, what stood out for you about the weight Hungary played? | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Their collective organisation, difficult team to beat, Belgium have | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
lost to a very well-organised Italian team, surely they won't make | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
the same mistake today. What about Belgium? They were awful in the | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
first match against Italy when they were beaten 2-0. They won the next | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
two, 3-0 against Ireland and Sweden 1-0 last time, have they convinced | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
you they are genuine contenders? The task was all was to make these | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
individuals into a team and by playing the brine in the central | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
position he is pulling the strings, keep Hazard in the central position | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
and Lukaku knows he is the central striker, full of confidence. Surely | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
they fancy their chances, this must be a golden opportunity, the way the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
draw has fallen, they are on the perceived easier half of the draw | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
and with Croatia tumbling out of the competition last night as well. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Without doubt, everybody would want to be on the side of the draw. A | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
game against Wales awaits Belgium but they must get past the | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
Hungarians and it won't be easy. In a word for you, is it Belgium, or | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
could we have an old-fashioned cup upset? Belgium for me, surely the | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
quality will come to the fore and I'm going with Belgium. We looking | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
forward to this match, fantastic atmosphere in Toulouse, back to you | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
in the studio in Paris. Belgium lost against Italy but have | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
improved steadily to reach the last 16. We can hear from their | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
matchwinner against Sweden. I'm Golan. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
COMMENTATOR: Zoltan Gera with the goal for Hungary. How about that? | :16:37. | :18:35. | |
I think one of those Mohican strips on the top of your head might suit | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
you, Alan. Very flattering. De Bruyne, after a slightly slow start | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
he has really come to the fore, hasn't he? He has been a big plus | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
for them. His weight of passing, the distance of his batting, whether | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
it's 20 yards or 30-40 yards. It's brilliant, I think. That one into | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Lukaku, there. As a forward, you need a guy whose first thought is, | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
can keep as it forward. Is he going to find me? This guy does it more | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
often than not. Most assists in the group stage. There is the 20 yard | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
pass for the goal against the Republic. He makes them tick. The | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
first thought is, can you get the ball into him. Left foot, right | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
foot. He can do it. Look at this bowl. Crying out for someone to get | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
on the end of it. This is his right foot. Superb ball in. The weight of | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
pass I was on about. What about this? The forward runs in, great | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
run. You want the ball to find you. If you don't get the ball, you stop | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
doing it. De Bruyne constantly does it and is brilliant at it. Top | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
players, it is all about decision making. All these players have | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
brilliance. It comes to the final third and making the decision here. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
He's got the picture in his head. Before the ball comes to him, he | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
knows what he is going to do. Hazard sometimes makes the right decision | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
and sometimes doesn't. Last year, he was the best player in the Premier | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
League but this season he didn't have a good season. He has quality, | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
we all know that. I don't understand why when he is in this kind of | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
situation, recognise what is happening. Beat your man on the | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
line, we know he has the strength and the pace to do it. He does go | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
inside. That is what Sweden wanted on the day. Yes, De Bruyne could | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
have scored. He doesn't. When he wants to beat his man, when he wants | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
to go committed with desire, I don't think there is any right back but | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
can stay with him. It's impossible. What happens after that, Nainggolan | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
scores an amazing goal. It is because he created it. Push the ball | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
and run. Football is really simple. Some players want to complicate the | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
game. Pick a pass for Lukaku. It's a goal. That is what he has to do | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
every single time. He chooses, at times the simple power. He goes | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
inside every single time when we know he can go on the outside. He | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
will frustrate the other players at times, and the manager. His pace is | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
almost unrivalled. Use your best attributes to abuse the player in | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
front of you. The pace he's got, he shouldn't be coming on the inside. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
We've seen hungry score plenty of goals but at times they look very | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
vulnerable at the back. They play very open, forward. The striker | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
Szalai did very well in the last game. His first goal in 41 games for | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
club and country, by the way. But he's looking very good. We've some | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
lesser countries, and just defend but look at that. We know what | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Zoltan Gera can do. They are not afraid to come forward and really | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
commit. Dzsudzsak, the captain, he wants the responsibility of shooting | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
and taking chances. The little deflection he got here but, as Alan | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
says, you've got to buy a ticket to get in. Ronaldo will tell you, don't | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
shoot, don't score. This back for our all over the place. Not in tune | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
with each other. Allowing the space to run into. No line, punished. I | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
was baffled when I saw this. The full-back leaving his man alone. The | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
ball develops forward. Watch this space in behind the midfield. No | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
protection for the back four. You see Ronaldo on the left of the | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
screen. Where he should be is defending the front post. I don't | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
know where he's going standing there? Allowing Ronaldo space to run | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
into. Ronaldo one-on-one with anyone, he does that. As a defender, | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
you always need a partner. If they play that Highline with Lukaku and | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
De Bruyne, they will love that will stop leaving space, these guys will | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
cause problems. What do you think? Belgium comfortably or could it be | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
another really tight game? I think Belgium might get a few goals | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
tonight. I think Belgium, 2-1. Belgium 3-0, Lukaku to run riot. | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
Your commentary team into lose, Martin Keown and Simon Brotherton. | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
COMMENTATOR: This is perceived as the easier half of the draw. Croatia | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
stumbled through the exit door last night removing another major | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
obstacle on the route of the final. Belgium and the so-called golden | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
generation will likely never get a better chance of turning rhetoric | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
into reality. They would be wise not to underestimate hungry back on the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
big stage after a long absence. They are organised, unbeaten and | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
committed and they score goals. Ask Ronaldo and Portugal after the 3-3 | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
draw a few days ago. Wonderful atmosphere here inside the stadium | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
now time for the anthems. The first we will hear is that of Belgium. | :25:28. | :25:57. | |
CHEERING Belgium in the knockout stages for | :25:58. | :26:33. | |
the first time. Since they lost 2-1 against Germany. | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
# Isten, aldd meg a Magyart Jo kedvvel, boseggel, | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
# Nyujts feleje vedo kart, Ha kuzd ellenseggel; | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
# Bal sors akit regen tep, Hozz ra vig esztendot, | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
# Megbunhodte mar e nep A multat s jovendot! | :27:06. | :27:45. | |
A big night for hungry in the knockout stages of a championship | :27:46. | :27:53. | |
for the first time since 1966. 50 years ago. Unbeaten Hungary, joint | :27:54. | :28:04. | |
top scorers in the stages along with Wales. Kiraly earns his 147th cap. | :28:05. | :28:20. | |
Adam Nagy plays along to Zoltan Gera. Pinter plays after an injury | :28:21. | :28:38. | |
in the warm up. The referee this evening is from Serbia. Taking | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
charge of his third game at the finals after Spain's 3-0 win over | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
Turkey and the Republic of Ireland against Turkey. Thibaut Courtois has | :28:52. | :28:58. | |
not conceded a goal in the last two matches. Many a continues at right | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
back. Nainggolan scored a superb winner in the last game. Mertens is | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
preferred to Carrasco. That is the only change tonight. Remember Lukaku | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
leads the attack. He has scored twice so far. Six of the 11 play in | :29:18. | :29:19. | |
the Premier League. atmosphere in Toulouse, back to you | :29:20. | :29:26. | |
in the studio in Paris. A quick look at the substitutes. | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
Korhut drops to the bench, despite looking good against Portugal. | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
Belgium have depth up front with Chris Dummett Christian Benteke | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
eight, Divock Origi and Marseille's Michy Batshuayi. There is Bernd | :29:41. | :29:47. | |
Storck, the German coach of Hungary, what a job he has done. We are | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
almost ready to go, a highly fancied collection of players facing 400-1 | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
outsiders at the start of the tournament. Three wins from the | :29:57. | :29:59. | |
final with Wales next in the last eight will stop it is Belgium who | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
will get us under way. Kevin De Bruyne is standing with the ball and | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
Martin Keown is sitting alongside me in the commentary box. Yes, very | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
much looking forward to seeing Belgium really open up in this | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
tournament, they will be looking at the draw thinking there is an | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
opportunity for them, can they deliver? Can they deliver? This is | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
the golden opportunity for the so-called golden generation playing | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
in their changed strip this evening against Hungary in the red shirts. | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
Belgium with just one change to the line-up that beat Sweden in the last | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
group game. And an early touch for Thomas Meunier, who has settled in | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
at right back well, the Club Bruges man. | :30:46. | :30:54. | |
First touch for Szalai, who was busy in their last game against Portugal. | :30:55. | :31:03. | |
Hey couldn't add to the goal he scored against Austria in the | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
opening game. You sense Belgium have just been getting into their stride. | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
They were incredibly out of sorts in that first match against Italy, but | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
they really picked up the bat on when they faced the Republic of | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
Ireland. Surging forward on the near side, Jan Vertonghen, the long-time | :31:22. | :31:28. | |
left-back in the national team. The tongue and getting down the left | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
side, Hazard Bulls inside making the channel for him to run into. De | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Bruyne overplaying it a little bit. We have seen him on the right and | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
now he's in the familiar central position. Interesting as well, in | :31:40. | :31:44. | |
all of the build-up, in the official information it suggested that Kadar | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
would play at right back but he's in his usual position on the left-hand | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
side with Adam Lang on the near side in the back for Hungary. Szalai | :31:53. | :32:04. | |
making the most of that one. He's big on, eyes and centre forward, | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
drawing the challenge from Vermaelen. Good to see Vermaelen | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
playing, he's had so many injuries in his career, including his time at | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
Arsenal. An incredible number of injuries, he's only five so he will | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
have his hands full in the air today. Here is Kadar. Smack 5'11". | :32:22. | :32:30. | |
Pinter thought he would be on the bench and all five minute before | :32:31. | :32:32. | |
kick-off. He did a good job, he was one of the | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
players brought in, they rested four on yellow cards and Pinter was one | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
of those who came in and made a strong case for staying in. | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
Kleinheisler is a big loss for them not playing, he played off the front | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
in the early games. Pinter is a decent replacement. The ball played | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
forward, collected by De Bruyne. Now here is Eden Hazard. It is easy for | :32:54. | :33:04. | |
Gabor Kiraly. Still keeping goal for Hungary, 18 years after making his | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
debut. Still performing well. He was the key man in the play-offs against | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
Norway last November. I hope it's not the same tracksuit bottoms he is | :33:17. | :33:26. | |
wearing. Juhasz. Hay was one of a good many players | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
for this Hungarian side on a yellow card. Hazard, De Bruyne are racing | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
through the centre, inside Lukaku is calling for it as well, Mertens on | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
the far side. This is Nainggolan. Now Vertonghen. Away from | :33:40. | :33:46. | |
Lovrencsics. Nainggolan. Looking for Hazard. Thumped away by Juhasz. | :33:47. | :34:08. | |
Free kick given against Zoltan Gera. Zoltan Gera went off at half-time in | :34:09. | :34:16. | |
the last match having scored a fantastic goal from outside the | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
penalty area. Three of the six Hungary have scored in the European | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
Championships have come from outside the box. De Bruyne with the first | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
chance of a shot in the game. Rising and always going over the top. Just | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
a little site for him. Such awareness he has got, lets it roll | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
onto left foot across his body and he lets fly. I'm pretty certain | :34:38. | :34:44. | |
Lukaku would have been rubbing his hands together watching the joy that | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
Ronaldo got from crosses against this Hungarian defence. A couple of | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
times Hazard hasn't put the ball into the box for him already. | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
Here is Juhasz, who's been a mainstay of the Hungarian defence | :34:58. | :35:04. | |
for a dozen years now, this is his 94th cap. Lovrencsics with the ball | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
forward, Lang being chased by Vertonghen. Lovrencsics. Baton and | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
with the second opportunity to clear. Here is Nagy, but not for | :35:18. | :35:24. | |
long, De Bruyne Obita and to the ball by Zoltan Gera. The first time | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
Hungary have got into the final third. Lovrencsics with the delivery | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
which came off the thigh of Thomas Vermaelen. Lovrencsics. Decidedly | :35:36. | :35:42. | |
comfortable for Thibaut Courtois in the end. Comfortable, wasn't it? He | :35:43. | :35:48. | |
should have delivered it rather than shooting, selfish, maybe. He's | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
scored a lot of goals from outside the box. Tell Jim quick to move from | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
the back to the front now with Hazard against Lang, testing him | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
early, decent ball into Lukaku. Chased and kept in by Munir, who | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
wins the throw. That is better from Hazard, much more direct. Good run | :36:10. | :36:16. | |
from Lukaku. -- Thomas Meunier. Already we have seen more pace and | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
urgency in the opening minutes as Lukaku turns! He just puts it | :36:20. | :36:27. | |
behind. Via a deflection. Corner for Belgium. We've already seen more | :36:28. | :36:30. | |
excitement and urgency in the opening six minutes than we did for | :36:31. | :36:34. | |
most two hours in Lens last night when Croatia play Portugal. De | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
Bruyne again, that quality he has. Lukaku not able to turn that one in. | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
A good start to the game from Belgium, the first corner of the | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
match, Belgium with it, chested down by Witsel. Cleared away by Kuzmin -- | :36:50. | :37:01. | |
Guzmics. I think there has never been any doubt about the ability and | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
the talent in the Belgian side. It is just whether the coach can | :37:06. | :37:08. | |
harness the best from the talent available to him. They certainly | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
look as if they are on it tonight with Hazard. De Bruyne. He took it | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
superbly. Excellent touch! He is certainly in the mood tonight. | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
Hazard has blasted that at him and his touch is a worldly touch that he | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
has. Szalai laying the ball off, surging forward is into. He got the | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
better of Toby Alderweireld. Here is Hazard again. He has seen | :37:36. | :37:50. | |
plenty of the ball already here. He is still looking for his first goal | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
at a major championship. He has created a couple of LG's goals so | :37:55. | :38:04. | |
far. -- Belgium's goals. Witsel scored with a header against the | :38:05. | :38:11. | |
Republic of Ireland. Interesting, the movement of Hazard and De | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
Bruyne, De Bruyne are coming to the left when Hazard goes central. They | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
need to get that relationship right between them. Baton and leaving that | :38:19. | :38:26. | |
to Hazard. He is conducting a lot of the early play. Away from | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
Lovrencsics. Into Dries Mertens. Mertens did well, twinkle-toed, | :38:30. | :38:41. | |
almost finding Lukaku. It is a very good Belgian line. Against the | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
Hungarian line. They are better coming from deep. Experience in the | :38:48. | :38:54. | |
heart of the Hungarian defence, and it looks like they will need it this | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
evening. It's all one-way traffic so far. Hazard. Vertonghen. De Bruyne | :38:59. | :39:10. | |
are just getting away from Adam Lang. The referee from Serbia is | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
well placed. And Belgium are well placed with this free kick. That's | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
De Bruyne, he's just too clever, moves it away from Lang. | :39:22. | :39:45. | |
Finally wear ready. -- we are ready. The referee feels he has some | :39:46. | :39:56. | |
sorting out to do, between Guzmics and Lukaku in amongst the melee of | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
players forced onto the head and into the back of the net. Superb | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
header from Toby Alderweireld. Belgium lead inside the first ten | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
minutes of the game. And already, you have to say that goal had been | :40:12. | :40:14. | |
coming. It is De Bruyne's quality again. Alderweireld Dummett is | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
almost just a tap in with his head. Fantastic swerve he gets on the | :40:23. | :40:26. | |
ball. They are queueing up to put it in. Superb start from Belgium. How | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
about this for a ball from De Bruyne. Not offside, as the ball | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
comes in, just over the head of Lukaku, but nodded in by | :40:38. | :40:39. | |
Alderweireld who was right behind him. Alderweireld had nobody near | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
him. Than Jerry and defenders are looking around them. You've got to | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
stay goal side. It's a great header from him. The keeper has no chance. | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
Hungary are behind in a match in the European Championships for the very | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
first time here. What response will we get? They were impressive against | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
Portugal, it was they forcing the issue throughout the game, head | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
three times. They will now be looking for a response. They were | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
obsessed with holding the edge of the box. Of course, you do that but | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
you must stay goal side, physically, you restrain your opponent. | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
Schoolboy defending really. Unsurprising we have seen a goal in | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
this game, the teams have scored ten between them in the group stage. | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
Away by the goal-scorer, heavy footed with the clearance looking | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
for Mertens. Mertens starting for the first time tonight, the Napoli | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
player, having come off the bench in the last three. Some feel that is | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
his best role, that's the role he has with Napoli. He does stay and he | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
hugs the touchline. That suits the current shape they've got. It's | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
interesting to see now if Belgium keep the momentum going. Are they | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
going to just sit back and be happy with what they've done in the early | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
stages of this game? Nainggolan, into De Bruyne. Chased by Mertens. | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
Good challenge by Kadar over on the far side. You may remember him from | :42:10. | :42:18. | |
a few years ago early in his career, four and a half years on Tyneside at | :42:19. | :42:25. | |
Newcastle. Meunier with the throw. Mertens. Cleared by Kadar up to | :42:26. | :42:35. | |
Szalai, excellent touch, Pinter Askin a lot of the number nine. | :42:36. | :42:43. | |
Sweeper keeper, Courtois in a high position. | :42:44. | :42:53. | |
Long, -- Lang who has played at right back but he is primarily a | :42:54. | :43:05. | |
central defender. Dzsudzsak with a ball inside, popping up on the right | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
now for Hungary, having swapped side with Lovrencsics over the opening | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
ten minutes. Here is Lovrencsics. Decent ball in, onto the head of | :43:16. | :43:27. | |
Alderweireld. Dzsudzsak. The scorer of two goals against Portugal, both | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
by deflections, a key creative spark for Hungary, tidy pass to Adam Nagy. | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
It came off the boot of Witsel. This is better from Hungary. We know | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
about Dzsudzsak's left foot that he has. The throw in by Zoltan Gera, | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
trying to get in behind and it will be a goal kick. The throw in didn't | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
make him favourite for that one. There is the man who scored the | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
goal, and here it is once again. Excellent delivery from De Bruyne. | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
Alderweireld kept his eyes on that one despite the presence of Lukaku | :44:04. | :44:05. | |
just in front of him. The coach is a man who knows how to | :44:06. | :44:21. | |
put the ball into the back of the net, still Belgian's all-time record | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
goal-scorer. In towards Lukaku. The outstretched boot of Guzmics just | :44:26. | :44:33. | |
taking it from his path. I'm expecting a reaction from the | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
Hungarians. We have seen that in their recent game with Portugal. | :44:37. | :44:39. | |
They do pack a punch going forward. Gets away from Pinter. Lukaku with | :44:40. | :45:05. | |
the ball for De Bruyne. A chance for two. Saved by Kiraly. Two chances | :45:06. | :45:14. | |
there. Look at this ball from Lukaku. Sweeps it into his path. For | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
me, he should be slipping it in the other corner he is running at pace, | :45:20. | :45:27. | |
though. If Belgium carry on like this, it's going to be a very long | :45:28. | :45:34. | |
night for Hungary. Away by Pinter. Started with much more purpose than | :45:35. | :45:45. | |
against Italy. Mertens, Hazard. Witsel fancies having a crack. | :45:46. | :45:59. | |
Deflected away off Juhasz. Courtois almost ending up on the seat of his | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
pants and very red-faced. Just look at this. He has acres of time. | :46:05. | :46:14. | |
Nobody near him. Take a touch. Trying to take it first time. Overly | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
confident. He gets nearly caught out. Dzsudzsak, the captain of | :46:19. | :46:29. | |
hungry macro putting this straight onto the head of Witsel. | :46:30. | :46:45. | |
Bernd Storck only took over last July with four qualifiers left. His | :46:46. | :46:56. | |
previous claim to fame was that he was once the coach of Kazakhstan. | :46:57. | :47:06. | |
Away by Juhasz. Zoltan Gera jumping for that. A light touch from Lukaku. | :47:07. | :47:15. | |
Very strong down this left-hand side. Lang knows he is in a game. | :47:16. | :47:24. | |
Interesting that they still play him at left-back. Splitting up the | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
partnership of central defenders from Tottenham. Away from Witsel. | :47:31. | :47:49. | |
Slightly wayward. In the end, Belgium and get the free kick. We've | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
talked a lot about them attacking. Witsel needs to do that job for | :47:56. | :48:03. | |
them. Nainggolan, I'm not sure about him as a midfield player. We will | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
see if they come under the cosh if they are able to defend as a pair. | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
Many are not sure about him as a coach. He has a fantastic group of | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
players but it is about getting the right balance. This is a lot more | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
convincing so far tonight but there is still a long way to go. Collected | :48:27. | :48:45. | |
by Kanda but with his left arm. No one covering on the side. Talk about | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
balance. Here in acres of space. The referee did well to see that. Could | :48:53. | :49:02. | |
-- Kadar once again. That familiar theme of hungry -- hungry | :49:03. | :49:19. | |
Hungary defending. They are missing one or two defenders. Behind for a | :49:20. | :49:30. | |
corner before it reaches Romelu Lukaku. Hazard has been given so | :49:31. | :49:41. | |
much freedom. Just the quality of the cross. Tries to bend it around | :49:42. | :49:48. | |
his opponent. First corner in the opening 20 minutes of the game for | :49:49. | :50:03. | |
Belgium. Off the head of Szalai who was back helping out. Mertens has | :50:04. | :50:14. | |
swapped wings. Vertonghen away from Dzsudzsak. Blasted by other viral. | :50:15. | :50:33. | |
-- Alderweireld. Very crisp with his touch. A wild shot in the end. Look | :50:34. | :50:43. | |
at his touch. Lays it off nicely. People saying Chelsea let him go | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
because he couldn't link well with people. We know about his power and | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
pace. He now has a bit more finesse to his game. | :50:56. | :51:18. | |
I adored, isn't he? The left-back for hungry. | :51:19. | :51:32. | |
Looking up, picking the pass. Lovrencsics is always available and | :51:33. | :51:41. | |
willing to run his socks off. This is where the questions are for | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
Belgium. Looking disjointed. Chasing the ball. Nainggolan is sitting | :51:46. | :51:55. | |
deeper than Witsel. Hazard is now in the central position. Difficult for | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
them to get into a settled shape when they lose possession. Hungry -- | :52:01. | :52:13. | |
Hungary looking to get into the game. This is the man who can make a | :52:14. | :52:21. | |
difference for them. Their creative spark, Dzsudzsak. Helped by | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
Lovrencsics. He's got Kadar molest. -- on the left. Belgium can break | :52:28. | :52:44. | |
with Nainggolan, the Roma player. Here is Hazard. Chance for a shot. | :52:45. | :53:02. | |
Ricochet off the backside of Juhasz. No support for Szalai. Hungary not | :53:03. | :53:11. | |
pushing up in numbers enough. Midway through the first half and hungry | :53:12. | :53:19. | |
Hungary are in a very different match than against Portugal. Hazard | :53:20. | :53:32. | |
trying to get back. Dzsudzsak brings the save from Courtois. Good pace. | :53:33. | :53:40. | |
Look at that. No way through, you'd think. Keeping Courtois honest, on | :53:41. | :53:42. | |
his line. Nainggolan quickly picking out | :53:43. | :54:19. | |
Mertens. Sloppy. Not sure Mertens is at the level of this group. Many a | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
seems to be settling in well at right back. -- Meunier. | :54:26. | :54:40. | |
He gets forward at every opportunity down the right-hand side. Here is | :54:41. | :54:51. | |
Meunier looking for the run Mertens. Hazard into the box. De Bruyne was | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
there as well. Mertens still didn't make the best of that. | :54:58. | :55:03. | |
Decision-making. Picks the wrong pass. Great run from him. For the | :55:04. | :55:15. | |
really good players, Time stands still and they always make the right | :55:16. | :55:23. | |
decisions. Hazard, exquisite piece of skill, keeping the ball away from | :55:24. | :55:25. | |
the Hungarian midfield. Nainggolan, easy to spot with that | :55:26. | :55:50. | |
distinctive hairstyle. De Bruyne's touch for Lukaku. De Bruyne is | :55:51. | :55:57. | |
getting into a difficult area for hungry to pick up. Just between the | :55:58. | :56:08. | |
lines in front of the back four. Lukaku working hard trying to get | :56:09. | :56:17. | |
back. It fizzles out for Hungary. Lukaku forces the error. Working | :56:18. | :56:22. | |
well for his team. 20 minutes until half-time, Belgium in charge of the | :56:23. | :56:32. | |
game. Belgium looking dangerous every time they venture forward into | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
the final third of the field. Lovrencsics. They are full of | :56:38. | :56:44. | |
options. It is just picking the right one to kill your opponent. | :56:45. | :56:58. | |
Scored in the 1-1 draw against Northern Ireland. Adam Nagy has | :56:59. | :57:12. | |
looked really good in the matches he's played so far. He tries to make | :57:13. | :57:22. | |
things happen. Just turned 21 during the European Championship here. | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
Hearing that he has agreed to join Marseille but the deal hasn't yet | :57:27. | :57:35. | |
been done between the clubs. I can see why people would be interested | :57:36. | :57:47. | |
in him. Suckle play. The flag goes up against Eden Hazard. He's going | :57:48. | :57:54. | |
mad because he wanted the ball a fraction earlier. Lukaku takes too | :57:55. | :58:02. | |
long. Just a fraction of side. It was about one extra touch. He did it | :58:03. | :58:08. | |
first time for the De Bruyne run but not that time. Hazard didn't need to | :58:09. | :58:15. | |
go that early. Could have timed it better. | :58:16. | :58:35. | |
Finding it tough against Vertonghen on this left hand side. Options left | :58:36. | :58:45. | |
and right. Doesn't choose any of them. Running at such speed, I don't | :58:46. | :58:52. | |
think he's able to pick out the past. -- pass. It's a bit like | :58:53. | :59:04. | |
watching earlier on. They've turned up now. -- watching Germany earlier. | :59:05. | :59:17. | |
It looks like it. Hazard seems to go past players at will. The goal from | :59:18. | :59:26. | |
Toby Alderweireld in the first ten minutes. Tel Jim very much on top in | :59:27. | :59:40. | |
the opening 29 minutes. Lang getting forward on the right-hand side. | :59:41. | :59:48. | |
Again, he can't pick out Dzsudzsak. Away comes Hazard. In two Lukaku. | :59:49. | :59:56. | |
Mertens motoring away on the right-hand side. De Bruyne with the | :59:57. | :59:58. | |
header. It's another good move, Lukaku | :59:59. | :00:08. | |
showing vision, just stinks this in the air and De Bruyne can't get | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
quite enough power on it. -- dinks. Lukaku has been improving, linking | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
better than I've seen him before. Adam Szalai. Picking out Pinter. And | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
now Gera, former West Bromwich Albion and Fulham player. Who plays | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
in his home country now. Lovrencsics, looking to shoot! | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
They've had success from outside the penalty area so I think we can | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
expect that between now and the final whistle. Any half opportunity | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
they sense they will go for it. Lovrencsics being sucked into | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
shooting, and why not? He's scored many goals from outside the box. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
This was the run that was made off the ball by Mertens, a ball into | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
him, he timed his run beautifully. He's in the final third here and he | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
just has to pick up De Bruyne at the near post and he picks the wrong | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
pass. Collected by Zoltan Gera. A reminder we have more live football | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
for you tomorrow on the BBC. First up, what promises to be an absolute | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
belter, Italy playing Spain, BBC One from 4:30pm and 5 live then has | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
commentary of England versus Iceland from 8pm, and on BBC One we will | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
have highlights and reaction with Gary and the team at 10:45pm. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Tonight we are concentrating on Hungary and Belgium. Belgium don't | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
go and engage and you look at how far back they are, they are on the | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
edge of their box inviting Hungary onto them. Be careful with that. You | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
can see they've spent time working in the final third, but have they | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
spent time defending as a group? Lukaku. Nainggolan, excellent | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
12-macro, Lukaku! Just didn't quite look in control of the ball when he | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
unleashed the shot. -- 1-2. The break-out here, he has knocked it, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
he gets it back and needs to steady himself. De Bruyne is at the far | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
post looking for the ball but he has to shoot, but it's just a poor | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
effort in the end. De Bruyne and Hazard stepping up and playing well | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
in the opening half an hour. Hazard is in possession, De Bruyne has made | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
the move ahead of him here, currently held up but only | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
momentarily by Adam Lang. Witsel, this is Dries Mertens, away from | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Kadar. Collected by Pinter. The Hungarian fans, there are many | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
inside the stadium here in Toulouse, will breathe a sigh of relief at | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
that for the moment at least. Pinter. Lovrencsics now. Strong | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
running by Pinter. Into Szalai, trying to turn from Vermaelen, but | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
again outmanoeuvred and outnumbered again and outcomes Nainggolan, long | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
stride of Witsel alongside him, having looked and seeing that there | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
is nobody here on the Belgian left. Belgium will realise the way Hungary | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
kept coming back against Portugal, they need to get the second goal to | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
make their dominance count. Now the flag goes up against | :03:30. | :03:49. | |
Mertens. It was a nice idea from Hazard who is roaming around all | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
over the place. That's right, Hungary have a really high line, | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
they are gambling everything here, look how marginally it was, if at | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
all. Great vision, though, to pick him out. Dzsudzsak, into Szalai. | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
Again, he can't find Pinter. Hungary conceding possession far too easily, | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
even when they do have the ball. Hazard is striding away from Adam | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Nagy again. Kadar was struggling to keep up with Mertens and concedes | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
the free kick. No more than a couple of yards outside the penalty area | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
and Tamas Kadar gets a yellow card and will miss the quarterfinal | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
should they go through. It's great movement again, isn't it? Great | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
movement, Hazard, great pace, just delivers it, maybe a tad of side, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Kadar having to pull him down, he was the wrong side of him and | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
Mertens was through on goal. I think he's having a word with his | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
midfield, almost an impossible task to get the right side. All hands on | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
deck now for Hungary. De Bruyne is licking his lips at the | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
possibilities before him here. Mertens is near the ball too. Ten | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
minutes to go until half-time. Belgium lead 1-0. De Bruyne! It was | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
so nearly two. The ball is still in play, I Na Li over the top, and the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
flag goes up on the far side. What a free kick from Kevin De Bruyne. The | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
keeper looks as if he has hurt his hand as he flicked it on to the bar. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
It is a fantastic save, just tipped it onto the bar. This fellow is in | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
the zone, tonight, the quality on this goes exactly where he wants it. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
The keeper did exceptionally well to get a hand on it. How many times do | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
we see players unable to get the ball up and over the wall and back | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
down again from that sort of range? That's right, and he's doing it in | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the more conventional way, in the way that he is whipping that. It's | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
great to see the top players performing on the big stage. De | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Bruyne is certainly one of those. Hungary will be hoping that Gabor | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Kiraly is OK, he's still struggling, he has a problem with his hand and | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
he might be forced to test it now. Vertonghen. The only frustration | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
from a Belgian point of view is they do have only the one gold to show | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
for their efforts so far in the first half. Nainggolan. Never afraid | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
to unleash a shot, it worked for him against Sweden, just not this time. | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
This is where you want players to make the right decisions. For me, | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
that is too far out, he's under too much pressure, just keep it moving, | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
keep the momentum and keep the pressure on Hungary. There is that | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
save again. Still at 40 years of age he is able to pull off those saves. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Lovrencsics now for Hungary. He plays his football in Poland with | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Lech Poznan. Into Pinter. Here is Richard Guzmics, now Tamas | :07:14. | :07:37. | |
Kadar. They are trying to take the sting out of things for a moment. | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
They need to go forward. Belgium just closing down every avenue at | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
the moment, aren't they? Xalo is screaming, he wants the ball played | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
into him. Pinter is up alongside him. -- Szalai is screaming. | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
Mertens. Time and space now for Romelu Lukaku. Into De Bruyne. He | :08:03. | :08:12. | |
was challenged by Guzmics there. Well, again, it is just free-flowing | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
play, great movement off the ball, look at that, the defender just | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
doing enough to put De Bruyne of. It certainly seems as if Gabor Kiraly | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
is going to be OK. -- De Bruyne off. It was his bad kick that led to that | :08:29. | :08:40. | |
attack. Szalai Dzsudzsak. Dzsudzsak sliding it through to Lovrencsics, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
but he can't turn away from many a and Nainggolan gets it clear De | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Bruyne is so full of running and Nagy does everything he can to block | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
his run to the ball. Great willingness to run as well, not just | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
when he has the ball, he wants to run off it as well. Zoltan Gera has | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
gone surging forward through the centre, if his team-mates can pick | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
him out. Pinter. Lovrencsics! What a piledriver of a shot. Just a little | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
reminder for Belgium there. He's found a space where he shouldn't | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
there. He really spanks that. Courtois wasn't sure whether that | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
was on target or not and he has flown across. It shows you what they | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
are capable of. A picture of a frustrating first | :09:30. | :09:45. | |
half-hour for Hungary so far, the closest they have come to a goal, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
that is for sure. Here is Lukaku, Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Witsel, | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
inside the box. And it's away by Juhasz, and Gera, to Szalai. Gera | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
still an important player for Hungary at 37. He passes it well and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
switches it well for his team. Nagy alongside him, but it is good for | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
him. A good balance. Good for his development. | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Just heading into the last five minutes of the first half in | :10:25. | :10:36. | |
Toulouse. Guzmics for Hungary. Kadar. Lovrencsics. | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
Dzsudzsak has now gone much more central. He's trying to pull the | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
strings for Hungary. He's done well here picking out Pinter and Gera. | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
The ball hangs in the air and many gets his head on it and it came out | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
to Dzsudzsak for the shot, just wide of the post. Well, we talked about | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
him going central, this is what he can do when he takes up that central | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
position, he just screws it slightly wide. He's more than capable, | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
though. He just pulls it wide of the goal. It's just a reminder for | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
Belgium. They might need more than one goal tonight. Certainly. A bit | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
of encouragement for Hungary in the last few minutes after a pretty | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
torrid opening to the game. They have had their backs to the wall is | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
against Belgium. The referee waves it away, no foul, gained possession | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
with Juhasz. Adam Nagy. Juhasz had to get rid of that sharpish. Baton, | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
though, into Hazard, Grable, excellent chance for Mertens and a | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
good save by Kiraly. Still danger is not cleared, Miss controlled by | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
Witsel. And wide of the goal via a deflection from Lang and Mertens | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
couldn't finish it off. Two chances, the second one his touch wasn't | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
quite up to it. A good move again. That's the second one. They are | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
showing us. This is the one I feel he should score. Look at the time he | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
had, he hit it really well, but not enough direction into that corner. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
The corner comes in and Alderweireld goes for it again, back out to | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
Nainggolan. The ball on towards Axel Witsel. But | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Lang with time to clear. Dzsudzsak. Szalai, the Centre forward, coming | :12:47. | :13:03. | |
out wide. Decent save from Kiraly, even though | :13:04. | :13:15. | |
it was a wonderful chance to score from Mertens. He's done well, he's | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
kept the scoreline down, using all of that experience tonight. They are | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
still right on it at 1-0, Hungary. A couple of minutes still remaining of | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
the opening 45. Mirnyi A, skipping away from Lovren | :13:28. | :13:44. | |
church. He couldn't quite get clear of Guzmics. Hazard. He invades the | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
shirt pulling of his opponent, no foul by Zoltan Gera. The referee was | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
on the spot. He will blow for that one on De Bruyne. Hazard is not | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
complaining, is he? He is now. I thought it was unlucky, I thought it | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
was a foul on him. It's very interesting what Hazard does come as | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
soon as you go to close him down, it's the worst thing you can do, he | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
just steps and skips inside you. Gera under pressure from Nainggolan, | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
a little too much pressure for the referee, Milorad Mazic. Heading into | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the last minute of the opening 45. Heading into the last minutes of the | :14:25. | :14:40. | |
opening 45. Lovrencsics is available on the left-hand touchline. Zoltan | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Gera is the furthest forward in the middle on the edge of the D. They | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
are not suffering from any confidence problems. Has that got | :14:53. | :15:12. | |
past Guzmics? He could have been in? Hazard had to be quick on his feet | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
to get back. Brilliant from Hazard. Super player. Belgium are good to | :15:19. | :15:33. | |
watch when they get going. WHISTLE A lively entertaining first half. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
I'll jump quick out of the blocks and quick to score. Toby | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Alderweireld with the goal in the 10th minute of the game. Viljoen | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
unable to add to that lead. Hungary struggling in the opening half-hour | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
but coming back with a couple of shots whistling past the post. One | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
goal in it, it's going Belgium's way. They lead 1-0. STUDIO: I | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
thoroughly enjoyed that half. I've never seen such an open game. End to | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
end. So open to the counterattack, Hungary. It's been a huge gulf in | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
class. They are leading 1-0 but it should be four or five. Such a gulf | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
in class. The space Belgium have got in front of the back four. It should | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
be four or five. A futile as in this tournament we have got frustrated | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
with teams playing defensively. You can't accuse Hungary of trying to do | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
that. You can't. What doesn't help the situation is an early goal. They | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
have to go after it. I don't know how the game is 1-0. You have Hazard | :16:56. | :17:07. | |
eating people at ease. You have De Bruyne picking a pass. -- beating | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
people. What a game from Belgium so far. One goal, Toby Alderweireld. | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
It's all about delivery here. But the ball in the right areas. They | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
are lining up for it. The two defenders marking, I talked about | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
organisation. One of them doesn't even face the ball. The header is | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
great, beats the keeper. Poor defending. They both let him go. | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
Strange, in many ways, so many opportunities to score but the goal | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
came from a set piece. We were very close with another one from Kevin De | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Bruyne. Great effort but again, you've got to say it's a superb | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
save. The pace. The whip over the wall. What a save that is. | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
Brilliant. If your goalkeeper gets beaten on that side, well done to | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
the forward. He has covered the goal superbly. This was another great | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
save. Eventually. Super touch from Hazard. I was talking to Rio earlier | :18:29. | :18:44. | |
and I said I might have played it. But he transformed a bad pass into a | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
great pass. We have examples of what you were talking about with Eden | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Hazard. You can see early on he was a bit timid. Like we said before, | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
you try to run players, the number eight there. He didn't. He was a bit | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
indecisive with what he wanted to do. But he grew into the game. He | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
surely knew what he had to do. There, coming back inside. Making it | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
difficult for your team. It's a perfect game for him with all the | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
space. Then he did this. It woke him up and after that he didn't stop. | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
It's criminal to allow him let control the ball there. Apart from | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
Messi and Ronaldo, there is perhaps no one better at running at people | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
with speed. It seems like he has freedom to run. Ultimately, that's | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
where he sees himself. He doesn't like defending. For an opposing | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
midfielder, that's a nightmare. Somebody who wants to commit you | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
from central areas. He's been all over the park. Twice he stopped the | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
writeback crossing the ball. You have to give him his credit. I think | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
you should do that every single time. What we make of the Hungarian | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
defensive setup? It is like a schoolboy team playing against the | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
first team in training. How disjointed that back four is. | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
Frightening. In all fairness, it's not easy when you get caught trying | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
to play. At times, it looks like Belgium is on the Chanson Bizet. It | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
is to open. There is a lot of space to go. -- John Cena | :21:11. | :21:24. | |
they have created so many chances and only one goal. Hungary have been | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
prepared to have a pop at goal. They have scored three from outside the | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
box in the tournament so far. They are ready to have a go. These guys | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
have proved that they are not scared to have a pop from outside of the | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
box. That was a very good strike. They've said, listen, we're going to | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
go out fighting. They like to get on the front foot and attack teams. | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
Here, Dzsudzsak, the one guy who is a constant threat. They look to play | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
to him more often than not. It is 1-0. They like to take | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
opportunities. Nice to see two teams playing forward-thinking football. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Earlier today Germany played Slovakia in Lille. Boateng! Wellhead | :22:24. | :22:43. | |
it. His first-ever goal for his country. It was worth the wait. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Number 14 stuck out his toe and just got a touch on it. Good position. | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
Just too high for Mario Gomez. Pushed in the back I Skrtel. It's a | :22:57. | :23:11. | |
penalty. Saved! Tremendous save. Nine penalties in these Euros so | :23:12. | :23:27. | |
far. Four have been missed. Going for the header with Mario Gomez. | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
Look how close that was for Mozilla. for the header with Mario Gomez. | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
Look how close that was for Ozil. Exceptional save. Draxler. Crashed | :23:41. | :23:53. | |
into the roof of the net by Mario Gomez. Now Germany are two in front. | :23:54. | :24:07. | |
So simple in the end. In a good position. Hamsik. Good ball. Really | :24:08. | :24:21. | |
lashed it. Manuel Neuer was right behind it. Toni Kroos with the | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
delivery. Chants. Three. Julian Draxler. Great technique. An awkward | :24:31. | :24:41. | |
height beautifully finished. Mesut Ozil. Moller. Toni Kroos. Good save. | :24:42. | :24:57. | |
Almost the fourth. Slovakia will be leaving the competition. Germany | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
through at a canter. STUDIO: They make it look easy. England face | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Iceland tomorrow night hoping to make it through to the | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
quarterfinals. Gabby Logan talking to Gary Cahill. How do you reflect | :25:11. | :25:22. | |
on your previous tournament experience compared to this one so | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
far? Better because we have done better. I always spoke about Brazil | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
being an experience I never wanted again. The week leading up to that | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
last game when we knew we were going home was feeling we never wanted | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
again. Now, I feel were playing well and in a good zone. Let's talk about | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
defence. It's been very good defensively this tournament. Are you | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
frustrated? It's been frustrating. All we could see is bodies in front | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
of the goal. We're expecting that against Iceland, so we need to do | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
that the same but with a few more ideas to unlock the door. Maybe that | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
will take individual brilliance. Iceland, undoubtedly the absolute | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
underdog in this fixture. Does it feel like an FA Cup third-round game | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
in terms of what you have got to lose and what they have got again? | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
We're expected to win the game, added pressure, maybe. The pressure | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
has been there since the start anyway. It's no different. Another | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
hurdle we need to get over. Going back years when I was 18, I was on | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
loan at Burnley and we beat Liverpool. I know what it is to be a | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
smaller team coming against the bigger team and you feel nothing but | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
hunger because people expect you to lose. That can be dangerous. We have | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
to be fully aware. Would you say that is the same through the group | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
customer it has to be. If it isn't, you need a slap in the face. Will | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
you be doing that? Maybe. Seriously, it has to be that way. Every game is | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
a cup final for us. We are not ready for this to end. That is what drives | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
you forward. I don't want the same feeling as we had in the World Cup. | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
I never thought I'd be nervous about Iceland but here we go. Full | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
commentary on radio five live and the BBC sport website from 8pm. | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
Before that, Italy against Spain in a repeat of the 2012 final. We will | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
have highlights of both matches at 10:45pm. That is not all. | :28:00. | :28:31. | |
In from De Bruyne. Into the back of the net from Toby Alderweireld. A | :28:32. | :28:44. | |
chance for two. Saved by Kiraly. So nearly two. Out to Dzsudzsak with | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
the shot. Just wide. Belgium were one up but it could have been | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
anything. I suspect it could end up anything. They have just got to keep | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
playing with the same intensity and passing with a purpose. They have | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
got to take chances when they come along. There's always a danger that | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
a long-range shot could go in for Hungary. Always a danger that the | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
goalkeeper might slip and let a slow backpass into the net. Something | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
that we need to say. We saw Czech Republic do it to creation. They | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
surely can do it again. -- to Croatia. That is more my kind of | :29:28. | :29:38. | |
dancing than yours. Having seen your efforts, Rio. We seen a few players | :29:39. | :29:47. | |
slipping in this tournament. The first half of Spain against Croatia | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
was the same. We didn't see them coming back but they did and they | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
won it. Who knows what can happen, especially in this tournament. We'll | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
see. They will be saying, just take your chances. Be more clinical. | :30:04. | :30:12. | |
Simple as that. A substitution. We will leave the rest of the | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
information to Simon Brotherton and Martin Keown. | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
COMMENTATOR: There is the man who scored the goal after ten minutes, | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
Gabor Kiraly with a save Court 2 to keep it 1-0 and one change made by | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
Hungary, by Bernd Storck, at the start of the second half, no change | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
by Marc Wilmots and Belgium, why would they? It's going very well. | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
Belek will come on, he started against Portugal and he was the | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
player who hit the post us Akos Elek. Who nearly put them 4-3 up. He | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
played well against the Portuguese and was unfortunate not to start | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
this game. He is on for dear, they are resting Gera's legs? Maybe he's | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
run out of steam. I think so, he's 37, 38. He has played well but they | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
need more, getting overrun in the midfield. -- he is on for Gera. | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
Belgium have been first class, but I'm worried about their midfield, | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
I'm not sure when they are out of possession that they have that kind | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
of structure, with the two in front of them. We will see when Hungary | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
attack them. They had almost chances and it is still 1-0 and as we saw | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
from the two efforts from outside the penalty area the Hungarians are | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
hanging in and they are still in this game. Hazard, early on the | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
ball, the start of the second half, but saved by Kiraly, and it needed | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
to be. Fantastic run and shot from Eden Hazard. He's in exactly the | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
same sort of space as the first half. It is a cracking shot, you'd | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
expect the keeper to save it. He just comes in on the inside and | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
works it from one foot to be the. You just can't get tight to him. | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
Hazard has picked up pretty much where he left up at the end of the | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
first half. We are still inside the first minute since the restart, De | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
Bruyne are mixing it up here and Mertens blasting it towards the | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
goal. Luckily for Hungary it is sticking to Kiraly's fingers. Worth | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
a try. We have seen Paul Scholes do that in the past, but it requires | :32:23. | :32:32. | |
great technique. Guzmics with the clearance, blocked out by Witsel, | :32:33. | :32:37. | |
collected by De Bruyne. There is a confident swagger about Belgium this | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
evening. I don't think we've really seen it so far in the tournament. | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
Perhaps in the second half against Ireland. That will be a free kick | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
and a yellow card as well. It is a nightmare for defenders. You can see | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
that Lang has gone on quick and wants to win this early, he gets his | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
body and his arm across, Hazard, definite foul. He's not one of those | :33:02. | :33:03. | |
already on a yellow card. It is going to be De Bruyne again | :33:04. | :33:17. | |
with that quality that he has. Let's hope for better marking from the | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
Hungarian defence for this one. Trying to keep a tight red line | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
there are just short of the penalty spot. De Bruyne makes his | :33:27. | :33:32. | |
calculations. You've got to hold the line but also pick up. Whipped in | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
towards Witsel and Alderweireld going for it as well. Belgium | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
shouting for... It is an offside the referee has given. They were | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
shouting for a corner but it's been given as offside. It is good | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
quality. It clearly went off a Hungarian player. That is why | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
Belgium were saying they should have got the ball, but anyway Kiraly is | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
taking the kick, the decision went Hungary's way. Lovrencsics running | :34:05. | :34:16. | |
at Muniain. Going back. Kadar. Good ball, Lovrencsics trying to get in | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
behind many eight, and he's done well. Vertonghen with time to wait | :34:21. | :34:31. | |
for the ball to drop his way -- many -- | :34:32. | :34:42. | |
they are sweeping through this team. It just gets away from Hazard. | :34:43. | :34:50. | |
Belgium are a different team, they didn't look like they were all | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
singing from the same sheet at all in the opening match against Italy, | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
they didn't look like they believed in what they were doing. To be fair, | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
I was lucky to play in a great Arsenal team with lots of quality in | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
front of me, the likes of Henry and Bergkamp, and it was our job at the | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
back to make sure we kept clean sheets. I'm just wondering who is | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
that player, they need to manage the game well to convince themselves | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
they are good enough to go and win the Euros and at times they look a | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
bit loose in the midfield. The ball launched forward by Guzmics, hopeful | :35:27. | :35:35. | |
pass. Even without Vincent Kompany at the back, they are very | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
experienced overall, Belgium, with Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Alderweireld. | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
Meunier less so but he has settled in well. They are, but who is the | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
leader? Is the mailing talking, that screen in front of the midfield. The | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
more players do in front of you, the more it lets you do as a defender. | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
Into eking out Dzsudzsak. Nainggolan sticking his foot in there. Hungary | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
starting to threaten, Szalai snatches at that. Opportunity. That | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
was a bit better from Hungary. Nicely threaded ball through, just | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
doesn't steady himself quite enough. He can't get his foot round it. | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
Lovely little 1-2, wasn't it? Just picking them off. And again it was | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
Akos Elek getting involved in the attacking play, the substitute | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
brought on at half-time. Adam Szalai scored in the win over Austria, the | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
first goal he had scored for club or country in 18 months. De Bruyne puts | :36:41. | :36:46. | |
it out of play. He is capable player, he showed good imagination, | :36:47. | :36:50. | |
lovely little 1-2 and suddenly through on goal. They have not | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
really had centre forwards in their squad, Tamas Priskin is the other | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
player who started for them upfront, he is back with Bratislava now, from | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
Watford and Ipswich player over the years. | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
Kadar moving infield, cut out by Mertens, now at the feet of Romelu | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
Lukaku and De Bruyne are available and ready to let fly. | :37:16. | :37:23. | |
He is just acknowledging Lukaku who was screaming for the ball. The | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
elected to shoot. Lukaku finds him and he's on his bike waiting for it, | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
he has got his head down and he just screws it wired once more. Another | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
chance goes begging. Lovrencsics is screaming for the | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
ball on the near side of the pitch. Kadar feeding it forward, collected | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
by Adam Pinter. Belgium quick to double up against him. Lovrencsics. | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
Has he got the speed to get past Meunier? He has and there was real | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
determination about Lovrencsics there. He has won the corner. He | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
stuck to his task, Lovrencsics just wriggled through, he played it | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
around the outside, runs around the other, and in the end it is a good | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
recovery tackle, good battle between these two. Dzsudzsak plays for bursa | :38:14. | :38:22. | |
spore in Turkey, just completing his first season there, will take the | :38:23. | :38:29. | |
kick. Off the head of Juhasz, away by Dries Mertens. Dzsudzsak. Time to | :38:30. | :38:39. | |
pick the pass, but straight onto the head of Alderweireld and gets it | :38:40. | :38:46. | |
away. Great atmosphere inside the stadium in Toulouse, one of the | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
smaller venues, only 33,000 but packed to the rafters. Akos Elek, | :38:52. | :38:57. | |
unable to find a team-mate in the centre. Doesn't quite find Romelu | :38:58. | :39:05. | |
Lukaku. One of the wing is again not getting close enough. That was | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
better from him. Mertens has done well and Lukaku slid it into words | :39:10. | :39:17. | |
Hazard. Here comes Adam Nagy. He takes up the running again, they | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
know who to get the ball too, the ball into Dzsudzsak and into Szalai, | :39:22. | :39:28. | |
the header! Hungary not out of this game. That is some ball, Dzsudzsak | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
again, look at Szalai attack this and Vermaelen just manages to get in | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
the way of it. I think Vermaelen took one in the face, didn't he? We | :39:39. | :39:44. | |
talked about him being the smaller man and under pressure, that he's on | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
the right position and able to stop it. You could just see from that | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
shot that maybe his nose will be throbbing, as Dzsudzsak prepares to | :39:54. | :40:02. | |
cause more mayhem in the Belgian defence. Good spell for Hungary. | :40:03. | :40:12. | |
Herewith Adam Pinter. Slight miss control brings the attack to an end. | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
But Szalai launched himself at the ball. He is such a big man. | :40:17. | :40:24. | |
Vermaelen just getting enough. I think it might have hit him in the | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
throat or the chest. It doesn't matter as long as you get something | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
in the way of it. That's what you got to do, all of these pretty | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
patterns painted at one end of the pitch and doing your job at the | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
other. Not a bad scoring record, Szalai, at international record | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
Dummett level, nine goals in 34 appearances before today. One defeat | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
in the last eight for Hungary, a good record over the last year or | :40:50. | :40:56. | |
so. Given away and collected by Dzsudzsak, into Szalai. If he'd been | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
able to control that, Akos Elek was alongside him and in bags of space. | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
That's right, the intention to get forward straightaway, the punishing | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
pass, but Szalai can hold onto it. He had a third man running in | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
support. Nainggolan giving the ball away cheaply in that midfield. Still | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
just the one goal in it. De Bruyne. Mertens. Meunier busting a gut to | :41:19. | :41:25. | |
get ahead of him here. Mertens, straight into the gloves of Gabor | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
Kiraly. Once of Crystal Palace, of course. Quite a few moons ago. Up to | :41:31. | :41:39. | |
enter, who has done well to hold off Nainggolan. Collected by De Bruyne. | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
Witsel. Hazard. Support on the outside if required. From Jan | :41:45. | :41:52. | |
Vertonghen. Dear me. That was precisely the one ball he didn't | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
want to play and Nagy has gone forward and Dzsudzsak is on his bike | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
and Szalai is waiting in the centre and Pinter is up there and | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
Lovrencsics is screaming for the ball and he goes on a run that | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
eventually brings the ball to Lovrencsics. It fizzled out for | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
Dzsudzsak, I thought he might wind up his left foot. He was probably | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
thinking that too, and a slight misunderstanding, Nagy to win it | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
back from De Bruyne. He's everywhere in midfield. He needs to be against | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
this lot. De Bruyne surging forward with Lukaku, the only player up with | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
him. Lukaku wanted that ball early. Not quite on the same wavelength. | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
Hazard. Lukaku. | :42:38. | :42:49. | |
He looks a bit frustrated, actually, the Everton striker. | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
This is where Belgium need to keep moving the ball quickly and using | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
the one touch, to touch. Hazard let it run. Lukaku not quick enough out | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
of the blocks, headed away by Guzmics, Szalai not afraid to mix | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
it, he is quite physical and put himself about and puts pressure on | :43:08. | :43:14. | |
Nainggolan. Better from Nainggolan. The referee keeping the game moving. | :43:15. | :43:24. | |
The kick taken to the. Mertens. Now Alderweireld. Nainggolan. | :43:25. | :43:38. | |
Belgium have just got to keep managing this game, nicely in front, | :43:39. | :43:45. | |
just keep probing and being professional. This is where you | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
build through the tournament, growing in confidence. Hazard skips | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
away from Dzsudzsak, he gets away from a course Alec, Lukaku, now with | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
Mertens, players in the centre to aim at. And Tamas Kadar was able to | :43:59. | :44:04. | |
get back, but not without conceding a corner kick. -- Akos Elek. Kadar | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
did well but Mertens maybe might have whipped the ball in the early. | :44:10. | :44:17. | |
Lukaku is still complaining his not getting the service that he wants. | :44:18. | :44:24. | |
Mertens going long with that one. Back out with Hazard. Witsel, | :44:25. | :44:32. | |
beautiful touch, Hazard. Looking to see if there is an opportunity to | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
shoot but the door was firmly slammed on his face. Three to aim at | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
in the box, Lukaku is one of them and Mertens puts it over the top. | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
Lukaku went for the clever flick and it would have been sensational had | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
it come off. We saw Ronaldo do that the other night, he just gets a | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
cross, great ball in from him, good movement, attacking the near post. | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
He just can't get on the end of it. That was some goal from Ronaldo, in | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
the match against Hungary. It certainly was. Lukaku going for it | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
again but Lang was their first. Meunier. De Bruyne. Lang sliding in. | :45:07. | :45:14. | |
He's got to be careful here, already having had his name taken. He will | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
need to not continue to dive in. It is a lunch -- lunge, reckless and | :45:21. | :45:42. | |
out-of-control. De Bruyne has it. Several waiting for the delivery. | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
Ultram have a corner kick. It so difficult to play against Hazard, | :45:48. | :45:51. | |
slow, slow, quick, quick, slow in his movement. | :45:52. | :46:03. | |
Both sets of fans are very vocal here. Normally, this would be a | :46:04. | :46:11. | |
rugby heartland in the south-western part of France. The ball coming in. | :46:12. | :46:19. | |
Kiraly rather relieved to get his hands on that. He threw a haymaker | :46:20. | :46:25. | |
at it and it just now stop in front of him. Hazard again. Seeing so much | :46:26. | :46:36. | |
of the ball. That was a foul. The substitute goes in the book. By my | :46:37. | :46:43. | |
reckoning, not one of quite a few on a yellow. He wouldn't miss the next | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
game should they get through to the last eight. A meeting in Lille with | :46:49. | :47:00. | |
Wales on that newly laid pitch that we saw with Germany against Slovakia | :47:01. | :47:09. | |
this afternoon. De Bruyne. Alderweireld was beaten in the air. | :47:10. | :47:18. | |
Very athletic. Belgium in possession once again. Inch perfect from | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
Hazard. Witsel keeps it simple. Keeps the pressure on. Hazard | :47:26. | :47:30. | |
twinkle toes. Nine we didn't really see Hazard this | :47:31. | :48:07. | |
season. We know he's an outstanding talent. He has turned up and brought | :48:08. | :48:18. | |
his a game to this competition. The flag up swiftly from the Serbian | :48:19. | :48:27. | |
official. Again, De Bruyne has eyes in the back of his head. Just a | :48:28. | :48:33. | |
fraction of side. I think you could just delay his run a fraction. | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
Splitting hairs. The movement has been excellent. Belgium looking for | :48:39. | :48:49. | |
their third win in a row, having seen off Ireland and Sweden in the | :48:50. | :48:56. | |
last two games. Disappointing 2-0 to Italy in their opening game. Hungary | :48:57. | :49:05. | |
are happy to keep it in little triangles. It gives them confidence | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
when they are able to make little passes. We are not talking about the | :49:10. | :49:19. | |
magical Magyars of the 50s but reaching the knockout stages was an | :49:20. | :49:27. | |
achievement, as was a making the finals for the first time since | :49:28. | :49:41. | |
1972. They are improving. Hazard, a chance to run. Tired legs trudging | :49:42. | :49:47. | |
back for Hungary. Juhasz was back there. Hungarian journalists saying | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
it has really captured the imagination back in Hungary. They | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
are all wearing the shirts and watching the games. A lot of | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
youngsters are going down the park and rather than trying to be players | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
from abroad, they are pretending they are some of these players they | :50:11. | :50:12. | |
are watching there. Instead of shirts with Puskas on the | :50:13. | :50:29. | |
back. They are very keen to capitalise on it. The referee has | :50:30. | :50:45. | |
given a free kick. He was right. Should have had a corner. Not sure | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
what the official is doing there. Looking right at it. They are almost | :50:52. | :50:56. | |
like sleeping policeman some of these officials. I think, there's no | :50:57. | :51:09. | |
almost about it. Good running from Vertonghen getting forward. It falls | :51:10. | :51:20. | |
at the feet of Juhasz. Pinter who has played in four different | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
countries in the last five seasons. Back in Hungary after Spain, Russia, | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
and Greece. Very much part of the 11, albeit at the last minute when | :51:32. | :51:39. | |
Laszlo Kleinheisler had to pull out having injured himself in the warm | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
up. Belgium need to be solid here. Prove they can defend. 20 minutes | :51:47. | :51:52. | |
into the second half, Hungary are fun seeing this. Pinter with the | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
shot. Deflection. Good save from Courtois. It all comes from the | :51:58. | :52:06. | |
throw in. It's so loose. On the edge of the bot, in that position again, | :52:07. | :52:16. | |
gets lucky with the deflection. Two of the goals against Portugal were | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
deflected, carrying it past the goalkeeper. They could have had | :52:21. | :52:33. | |
another one. Juhasz throwing himself at the ball at the far post. Axel | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
Witsel is down in his own penalty area at the moment. Just doing | :52:39. | :52:47. | |
enough there. He is back on his feet. The wind was momentarily taken | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
away from his sales. They need to get back on level terms. It has come | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
from a throw in. As a defender, you have to switch in that information. | :52:59. | :53:05. | |
Mertens switches off and the ball flows straight to the front man. | :53:06. | :53:14. | |
Forward again. Free kick will be given for that challenge from Thomas | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
Vermaelen. He gets a yellow card. First Belgian to go into the book. | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
Sloppy, having to rescue things. He's late getting there. Didn't read | :53:27. | :53:39. | |
it quick enough. The hunger area and fans are recognising this could be | :53:40. | :53:43. | |
their moment. Give Hungary an awful lot of credit. Alger have played | :53:44. | :53:49. | |
some great stuff but Hungary have hung in there and they clearly sends | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
an opportunity to get back in this game. -- Belgium have played. | :53:54. | :54:08. | |
Dzsudzsak's ball in. Falling to Juhasz at the far post. What a | :54:09. | :54:19. | |
strike. He has got no right to connect so sweetly. It is almost a | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
cross. Drills it quite across the goal. Belgium's spectators are not | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
sitting quite so comfortably at the moment. Making hard work of this. | :54:32. | :54:43. | |
Not sure Vermaelen has done a lot wrong there. Got up early and attack | :54:44. | :54:52. | |
the ball well. Thomas Vermaelen will miss the quarterfinal should they go | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
through. No wonder he looked so disgruntled. We're going to see a | :54:58. | :55:05. | |
change shortly. Yannick Carrasco is receiving instructions below us. | :55:06. | :55:12. | |
We'll keep an eye on that. He will be on shortly. Probably Mertens to | :55:13. | :55:21. | |
come off. Just past the halfway point through the second half. Three | :55:22. | :55:30. | |
quarters of the game gone. Great collective spirit about Hungary. | :55:31. | :55:38. | |
Definitely. See the way they went after the midfield player from | :55:39. | :55:45. | |
Belgium. Dries Mertens is the player coming off. Something of a role | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
reversal. He usually comes off at this stage. He got an opportunity to | :55:51. | :55:56. | |
start. Yannick Carrasco, the man he came in four is now on for the final | :55:57. | :56:07. | |
quarter of the match. Carrasco started the previous two matches | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
before tonight. He is at Atletico Madrid these days. Often used as an | :56:12. | :56:19. | |
impact substitute himself. Wonder if that will be the case tonight. They | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
are going for it. Another striker on. | :56:25. | :56:38. | |
Lovrencsics getting it to Szalai. Belgium have it back with Hazard. | :56:39. | :56:48. | |
Leading them a merry dance. Into the box, doesn't find Hazard or Lukaku. | :56:49. | :56:58. | |
Hazard plays with people. Like a ball at the matador. -- bull. | :56:59. | :57:11. | |
Vertonghen with the header forward. Onto De Bruyne. Carrasco takes it in | :57:12. | :57:21. | |
turn. Guzmics was waiting. Great run. What a ball from Hazard. Really | :57:22. | :57:30. | |
punched it in. Great first time ball from Mein Kampf. | :57:31. | :57:41. | |
Belgium just keep going 20 get this second ball. Carrasco not able to | :57:42. | :57:49. | |
take the touch. It lets him down there. | :57:50. | :58:06. | |
Wondered what was going to happen to Hungary the way Belgium started in | :58:07. | :58:12. | |
the first ten minutes. All credit to them for the way they've come back. | :58:13. | :58:18. | |
Attacking at every opportunity. Just a little too high and long from | :58:19. | :58:23. | |
Lovrencsics. You have to admire the way that they push forward at every | :58:24. | :58:33. | |
available opportunity. Pinter virtually carrying the ball the | :58:34. | :58:38. | |
length of the pitch. Whipping the ball in, asking questions, testing | :58:39. | :58:48. | |
you. Difficult game for Belgium. They've got to see this one through. | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
The first competitive meeting between these countries since a 1-1 | :58:54. | :58:59. | |
draw at the 1982 World Cup. A late equaliser from Belgium that they put | :59:00. | :59:12. | |
them through and sent Hungary homer. -- home. Just lost concentration | :59:13. | :59:22. | |
Witsel. Can't afford to do that. Bernd Storck is going to make a | :59:23. | :59:28. | |
change. Activity down below is on the Hungarian bench. | :59:29. | :59:39. | |
Mikulic is coming on. Jan Vertonghen now, big powerful stride carrying | :59:40. | :59:44. | |
him to the edge of the penalty area. Needs must for Roland Juhasz, | :59:45. | :59:51. | |
launching that up the field, old style. Meunier not taking any | :59:52. | :00:00. | |
chances. -- it is Nikolic who is going to come on. At the next | :00:01. | :00:10. | |
available opportunity. Lovrencsics. Away from Carrasco. Kadar. What they | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
flick, and now Lovrencsics in space, three to aim at in the centre, and | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
he doesn't come close to finding any of them. He tried to go with the | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
outside of his right foot but he was better placed to go with his left. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Adam Pinter is the player who will come off. Pinter has worked really | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
hard in the middle of the pitch. Nemanja Nikolic who won the double | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
with Legia Warsaw the season, and was the top scorer in Poland in | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
their league, 26 goals in 38 league games and he has come on as Hungary | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
try to find a way back into the match with just over a quarter of an | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
hour to go. A little reminder we have more alive | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
football for you tomorrow here on the BBC. First up, what promises to | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
be an absolute belter of a game, Italy against Spain on BBC from | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
4:30pm and 5 live has live commentary of England against | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Iceland and we have highlights from 10:45pm with Gary and the team, that | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
is all tomorrow on the BBC. Belgium on the attack, Nainggolan, collected | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
by Meunier, now at the feet of Carrasco. And Meunier. His wires | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
crossed. He had his head up looking where to cross it rather than | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
keeping his head down. He is watching and looking across. He | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
kicks the ground. Another player slipping. Belgium are going to play | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
what I would suggest is there a wild card, Michy Batshuayi, yet to play | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
at the championship. Romelu Lukaku is the player being replaced. Lukaku | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
has been substituted in every match so far and that Shula, the | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
22-year-old Marseille striker set to move on, scored 17 goals this | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
season, his first start for Belgium was early this month just before the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
championship when they played Finland. Spoken of by one or two | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
people as to be their secret weapon. It's not as if he's been playing for | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
a small club with Marseille. Just a conveyor belt of players coming out | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
of Belgium right now. Batshuayi, as many viewers will know, has been | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
talked about as a potential arrival in the Premier League this summer. | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
Much sought-after. I think Lukaku was a bit frustrated tonight, he | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
didn't get the service he hoped for. You could see his shoulders had | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
slumped a bit and he was and get the service he wanted. Hazard forward, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Karas go with a chance for two, and the combination of Kadar and the | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
goalkeeper, but maybe Kadar, combining to put the ball behind. -- | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
Carrasco. Hazard with his full repertoire of passes, great ball in. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Good defending, but if he is sharper with his touch I think he is through | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
on goal. I think he's a bit busy for that at the moment. De Bruyne's | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
delivery. Hazard just loitering outside the penalty area. He | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
collected his own pass, Batshuayi! 2-0 Belgium. Surely that will be | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
enough to see them through. What about that for a first touch having | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
come off the bench? Hello, European Championships, I'm here, Michy | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
Batshuayi. Belgium lead Hungary 2-0. Well, he can't believe it, the young | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
man. Lukaku is wondering, why didn't I get a cross like that was met | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
again, it's Hazard down the left-hand side, just remarkable the | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
ability he has. It arrives to him from the corner, just watch this. He | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
just lays it on his path, but he's gone in a flash, whips it in with | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
his left foot, simple tap in. He's on another level to night, Hazard. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Almost unplayable. I wondered if he was going to miss that, the young | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
man. How do you like them? He will gobble up chances like that all | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
night long. And here is a celebration to match. The manager | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
probably won't be too keen on it in case he gets it wrong. While Belgium | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
were celebrating that second goal, Hungary have made a second change | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
and they are on the attack so more on that own a moment as the ball | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
comes into the penalty area. Daniel Bode, the Ferring Baros player. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Meanwhile, Belgium forcing the issue once more with Hazard who might | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
fancy this himself. Hazard! It is brilliant -- Ferencvaros. That's the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
goal his performance deserved. 5-star, absolutely superb from Eden | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Hazard. That's the first goal he's ever scored at a major tournament. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
You can see what it means to the Belgian squad. They are going | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
through to play Wales in the quarterfinals of the European | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Championships. It's Hungary 0-3 Belgium with ten minutes to go. Its | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
top-quality play from Hazard. It's a break again, you just can't give him | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
any space. He's growing and growing in confidence, as soon as he picks | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
up the ball. There is one thing on his mind, he scoots across the edge | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
of the box and he hits it and plants it into because. It's almost like | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
he's on a motorbike, someone has picked him up and put him there and | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
when he gets into that position he slots it onto the back of the net. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
That was absolutely world-class from Eden Hazard. There are few players | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
that can play to that level in world football and he's just demonstrated | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
he's up there with the best of them. The ball cleared away by Toby | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Alderweireld. And Michy Batshuayi goes chasing after it. And suddenly | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Belgium have the breakthrough that it looked as if their play would get | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
them in the first half or so but was slow in arriving. Marouane Fellaini | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
is going to come on for the final just under ten minutes here. Eden | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Hazard can leave the field to a standing ovation from every Belgian | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
spectator. I think virtually all of the Hungarian fans as well from what | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
I can see. This was the concluding moment of the Hazard masterclass to | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
night. We have witnessed something special. He has certainly announced | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
himself into this competition. The manager deserves credit, he gave him | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
the captaincy and it's taken him to another level. Get him off and | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
arrest him. Fellaini on for the first time since the opening game. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Nainggolan. And De Bruyne are still happy to run and tease and cause | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
problems. It is cleared away by Lang and collected by Dzsudzsak who took | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
too long in position and De Bruyne are nearly took it off his toes. De | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Bruyne was saying, don't forget about me, lovely twinkle-toed is. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
There has been so much going on, they've only just got around to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
telling us Daniel Bode was coming on for Roland Juhasz. Juhasz was one of | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
the pillars of the Hungarian defence and he has had to go off and Daniel | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Bode has come on to replace him, a forward player. Lovrencsics feeding | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
it through, Akos Elek, deflection from Alderweireld carrying it | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
behind. Juhasz has gone off, almost retired by Hazard. The little white | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
flag came out there. Juhasz knows all about Belgian players, he won | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
four league titles with Anderlecht earlier in his career. Dzsudzsak's | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
ball in, passed everyone, rather scuffed, still not cleared, flicked | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
back in, Szalai! The deflection carried it behind for another | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
corner. Hungary always seem to squeeze something out. It was really | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
scrappy and it landed at Szalai's feet and he swivelled at it. Could | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
save in the end. Is there a consolation goal in this match for | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Hungary? I think there play deserves it. Lovrencsics. He would have to be | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
pretty good to get it passed Thibaut Courtois from there. He just loves | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
shooting from distance, watch what is a good goalkeeper, solid and | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
sound. It has worked for them, though, hasn't it? It certainly has. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
What do you think the Wales squad will make of what they have seen | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
this evening with the quarterfinal coming up on Friday in Lille? | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
They've got to be really confident going into the game but they can see | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
what we can see, the quality that Belgium have, although I think there | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
are opportunities to get in behind their midfield, whistle and | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Nainggolan, I'm not sure they create much of a platform in front of their | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
defence. Get Bale into the area and may be cause problems. Here is | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
Nainggolan sliding in on Adam Nagy, the youngster. Nainggolan tends to | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
go chasing the ball. Sometimes you just want your midfield players to | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
sit in front and keep that shape. Lovrencsics forward. The little | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
knock-down. Collected by Meunier, collected by De Bruyne. He's covered | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
a lot of ground, De Bruyne, to night, all over the place. Another | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
player you want on. Really good after the first game when he was | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
decidedly underwhelming. Not the only one, but since then he's been | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
much more like the De Bruyne we know he is capable of being. I think De | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Bruyne is playing more centrally generally and Hazard is wide left | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
and when he's wide left he's difficult to pick up and he can link | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
up with De Bruyne. Here come Belgium again, alarm bells ringing for | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Hungary in defence, they are at full stretch of Batshuayi. | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
So many players going forward. Kadar gives it away. Plenty of tired | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
legs out there now. The pale blue shirts coming forward again, this | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
time can ask oh, leaving it for Fellaini. Yannick Carrasco, into | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
Batshuayi. -- Carrasco. Fellaini. Lodge may not be done in the scoring | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
stakes yet in this one. Meunier. Too deep and too long. Batshuayi was | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
pointing where he wanted it, he wants it on the deck and at the near | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
post. Bernd Storck, and Hungary, will be going home. But they've done | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
rather better than I think virtually everyone expected them to do. Rank | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
outsiders at the start of the tournament, finding their feet at | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
the highest level once again. But they have acquitted themselves | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
extremely well. Unbeaten in the group stage, topping the group no | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
less. That certainly exceeded their expectations. They are second best | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
today against a very good Belgian team and we saw Germany earlier | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
today starting to go through the gears. The competition is starting | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
for real now. Belgium have got to be fancying it, haven't they, in their | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
half of the draw, particularly with Croatia going out last night. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
Definitely. Don't underestimate the Welsh, though. Nainggolan. Looking | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
for Batshuayi. That was marshalled well by the Hungarian defence. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Lovrencsics. Szalai. Inside the last five minutes of the game, four to go | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
plus added time. Balazs Dzsudzsak. Szalai heading up to the penalty | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
area. That is a rather more lumbering run than early in the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
match. It is a tremendous spirit from Hungary. They are not getting | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
back into the game but they are taking the game wherever they can. | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
On the far left hand side of the picture on the edge of the penalty | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
area, the guy with his hands on his knees catching his breath is Adam | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Szalai, the centre forward, trying to summon up the energy to get on | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the end of the free kick. He has, as put in so much effort. He's running | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
on fumes now. They certainly couldn't have given anymore in this | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
match. What an enjoyable spectacle it has been to watch from a neutral | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
point of view. Balazs Dzsudzsak blasting that one straight into Axel | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Witsel, who is staying on the ground and in some considerable discomfort, | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
shall we say. He's there to do his job and he's done it manfully. I | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
think we may need a stoppage here for a moment Court 2. I think we | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
definitely will. I feel we will be stopping that for quite a while. -- | :13:43. | :13:57. | |
for a moment Court -- or two. A chance for everyone to catch their | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
breath. Marc Wilmots will be under less pressure, lots of dissenting | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
voices in Belgium. His team are delivering on their promise now. | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
They were the number ones until April. Here is the final instruction | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
from Marc Wilmots into the young striker Batshuayi, and what an | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
introduction into the game. It's more than he could have hoped for, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
but this man creates the chance for him, sublime finish, about | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
decision-making. Just waiting for that angle to appear. 94 seconds was | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
the time between those two goals, and suddenly the match opened up | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
completely and the pendulum totally swung Belgium's way. It was like a | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
tree, just kept chopping away and chance after chance and in the end | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
just too much for Hungary. Belgium still running hard, Yannick Carrasco | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
with De Bruyne on the near side, Nainggolan furthest forward through | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
the middle and wants the ball, De Bruyne on towards Nainggolan, trying | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
and chasing hard but he is adjudged to have nudged Balazs Dzsudzsak out | :15:03. | :15:12. | |
of the way. De Bruyne, I cannot undervalue his importance. He's | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
always looking for these Book for kicking the ball away. What | :15:15. | :15:29. | |
a stupid way to get a booking. That's just immature. Adam Nagy, | :15:30. | :15:46. | |
great experience for him at the European Championship finals. He has | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
acquitted himself well. Good save by Courtois. Equal to everything | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Hungary can throw at him. Or has been up to now. Lovrencsics can't | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
quite pick the ball up. One back by Tamas Kadar. Hungary still straining | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
every sinew all the way to the final whistle. Now, more defending to do. | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
Two minutes of added time. Yannick Carrasco can make it for. And he | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
has! Hungary, despite their best efforts and their pressure and gents | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
is and near misses, are on the end of a thrashing. An emphatic victory | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
now. We talked about Hungary's endeavour. Leaving their defence | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
exposed. Give the ball away here. Sloppily. Straightaway, down the | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
middle. An opportunity to pass. Great little pass. Carrasco slots it | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
home nicely. Look at that. Slide rule pass. Just slots it in. Made to | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
look easy. Martin, a very open game and there are better teams than | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Hungary but we are looking at major contenders here. I think you have to | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
say. They have kept coming, they've been gallant in their performance | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
but quite naive. In the end, it's a thrashing they've taken here. | :17:32. | :17:45. | |
Marouane Fellaini gets a yellow card straightaway. He is saying he never | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
elbowed him. Fellaini never elbows anyone. Very surprised. Just a | :17:55. | :18:08. | |
little nip. He's not the type to go down. I'm afraid we see that all too | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
often from Fellaini. Belgium romping home and heading for the | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
quarterfinals. He spent the afternoon sharpening those elbows. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
WHISTLE There goes the final whistle. | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
Belgium through and we've seen some potential of the Golden generation | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
this evening. After their disappointing start, beaten 2-0 by | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Italy, they are starting to warm up now. Alderweireld, Batshuayi, | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
Hazard, and Carrasco with the goals. Hungary | :18:55. | :19:10. | |
finally met their match here in the second round. The final score | :19:11. | :19:22. | |
Hungary 0- for Belgium. STUDIO: Comfortable victory in the end. It | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
took a long time to get the second goal. Belgium go through to face | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
Wales on Friday evening in the quarterfinal of the European | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
Championship. He's happy. He's not. He has had to pick the ball out of | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
the back of the net four times. The last one went to Carrasco. Belgium | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
where the best side. There was a 20 minute spell where Hungary had one | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
or two chances and didn't take them. Belgium came out in the second half | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
and thought it was going to be easy again. They sat there and nearly got | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
punished. Once they got the second goal, it was just a matter of how | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
many they were going to get. You can't give class players like Hazard | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
the amount of space they gave him tonight. His touch was brilliant. | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
Superb. Rightly Man of the Match. The Hungary fans in front -- players | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
in front of their fans getting there deserve it round of applause. | :20:25. | :20:36. | |
Thierry, how good our Belgium? We were talking about lack of goals, | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
lack of performance, lack of a good game. You have to give the Hungary | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
team a lot of credit. Some people might say they were crazy to try to | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
play the same way that Belgium were doing. Too much space in between the | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
lines. You needed them to do that today will stop to see a good game. | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
As a neutral, I enjoyed the game. But if I was a Hungarian fan, maybe | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
I would have said it was to open for Belgium. Given that, they did open | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
them up. It has given the Belgian attacking players some confidence. | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
Hazard was fantastic today. De Bruyne. The strikers would have been | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
giving their lips -- licking their lips. The amount of times they were | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
on the cusp of creating chances, it was like a training game. I'm not | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
still fully convinced about them as a defensive unit. Hungary created | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
chances. Better players like Bale and Ramsey will punish them. It's an | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
opportunity for them to take the final step that they have been | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
spoken about four years. At the start of the tournament against | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Italy it would have been easy to get their heads down but they have come | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
back and given a great reaction. You have to remember that they didn't | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
beat Wales in the qualification. The Wales setup means it is not easy to | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
play them. They can counter with a macro and Ramsey. One thing is for | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
sure, they won't have the space given tonight. The opening goal, | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
Alderweireld from a free kick. Sue -- superb ball in from De Bruyne. | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
Free header, powerful. Got of strongly and got them off to a good | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
start. Superb ball in. In the second half, a long wait for the second | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
goal. Lukaku will be a bit choked. He has waited for this cross a long | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
time. Batshuayi comes on. His first touch. He tried his best to miss | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
that he managed to get it in. It's great for to on. Players are tiring. | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
Opportunities are going to happen. We spoke about Gareth Bale's ball | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
across against Northern Ireland. That is similar from Hazard. What I | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
like about what he did, the desire, the commitment was second to none. | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
The whip of the ball, trying to beat people on the outside. That is what | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
he did. He did the total opposite on his goal. The defence was set up. He | :23:49. | :24:01. | |
could choose left or right. We can see the reaction to the second goal | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
in Antwerp at the fan park there. Shows you how much it means to fans | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
right across Europe. Belgium fans will be happy and partying tonight. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
We talked about Hazard scoring his third goal. He has had more assists | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
in this tournament than he did in the entire season for Chelsea. He | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
hardly played. Best preparation for the tournament, taking the season. | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
He should be fresh. He looked sharp tonight. A superb finish. Great | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
ability to run at the defenders. Because of his options. Left, right, | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
they didn't know which way he would go. The frustration comes because | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
you know he can do this but a lot of the time he slows things down and | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
lets teams back in. Like that, he commits people early and here's an | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
playable. The difference is, the unit of Hungary wasn't in position. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
You have a gap between the back four and the number eight trying to close | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
the distance. If he can do that, it can be a goal. This is his | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
second-half performance. He was a dominant character. A dream game for | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
him. He's deadly in this amount of space. That is his ability. It must | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
be so frustrating for the Chelsea fans that they didn't see this | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
anywhere near enough last season. They know he is capable. He is | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
moving defenders all game. Getting them off balance. It is that timing | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
and the desire to run past people. Today he was brilliant. Everything | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
he touched had an element of pure class about it. He can destroy a | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
team on his own, given the opportunities. It is about not | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
slowing the game down. He's a pleasure to watch when he is in this | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
mood. On that one, we were screaming, go alone. On this night, | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
you just feel it. What I like about him today is his desire to go | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
forward. Wherever he was on the field, his commitment to go forward. | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
Dribbling forward, pass the ball forward. It's all he wanted to do. | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
You predicted 3-0. Carrasco ruined your evening. I almost smashed the | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
studio up. I looked like a genius. The first ball changed everything. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
It makes Nainggolan go forward. Beautiful finish. The goalkeeper | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
tried to close the angle of the post. Usually they expect you to go | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
across. For a guy who is right footed to finish with his left first | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
post is a killer blow. They've got a squad that can come on and make an | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
impact. Hungary stayed in the game for a long period of time when it | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
was 1-0. You talked about that spell. They were plucky. They came | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
out a different team in the second half. Whatever the manager said to | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
them work. They did create chances. Perhaps they should have had a goal. | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
The amount of times they got the ball into the box and created, they | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
probably deserved one. Give it another 15-20 minutes. Really go out | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
fighting. There is no worse feeling than going out in a tournament when | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
you feel like you haven't given it all and go out with a whimper. These | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
guys can be proud of the way they've committed themselves in this | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
tournament. For that spell, they were unlucky. Showed character. They | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
are going to have to deal with knowing that Vermaelen won't be | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
playing the next game. Vertonghen will be back in the middle. He | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
suffered playing as a left-back. Good point. We shall move on. Our | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
next live game shows Italy playing Spain in a repeat of the final of | :28:43. | :28:44. | |
four years ago. England play Iceland tomorrow night | :28:45. | :29:17. | |
in Nice. Here are the fights of Wayne Rooney and Roy Hodgson who was | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
quick to pay tribute to tomorrow night's opponents. They are a great | :29:22. | :29:28. | |
debt to their coaches and their ability to organise a team and take | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
a group of players and get the maximum out of them and make them | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
unbelievably different to beat -- difficult. I don't know the | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
Icelandic people as much as some of the other Nordic countries but the | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
character of the Icelandic people, their determination, their ability | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
to survive through hardship, I'm certain it has been a major factor | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
in their progress. They are going to be a hard team to beat. We've | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
dominated the three games we've played. We haven't always done that. | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
If we keep getting chances, we will score goals. We are in the knockout | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
stages and we don't have much time to be wasteful with any more | :30:10. | :30:10. | |
chances. Both very respectful as you might | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
imagine, but last 16, Iceland doesn't get much better, with all | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
due respect, does it? It's a very good draw for England and when you | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
consider the population of Iceland, the Champions League experience in | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
our team, the tournament experience in our team, then defeat for England | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
is unthinkable. This is fantastic, Wayne Rooney said something there | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
that is very true, they've dominated all three games. All of the teams | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
that Wayne Rooney played in that I played with him in we were not like | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
that in tournaments, we did not have the confidence, dominating games, we | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
were plucky here and there. With the fact that the European Championships | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
is so substantial you play against weaker teams that want to defend. | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
Used all have to go and do it and they have done that but this time | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
they have to be more clinical in front of goal and if they can score | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
an early goal this game will be a walk in the park for them. How do | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
you see it going? It is going to be the same thing they had to deal | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
with, Iceland will defend, you have to be careful on the counter, Gylfi | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
Sigurdsson is dangerous. If they score early it will be difficult for | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
Iceland, as long as you don't score and we have seen they struggle to | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
score, the same against love Achaea, lots of crosses and stuff like that | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
but nothing really clear. You know how Iceland play, be careful, you | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
never know. Of course. Who will play up front? He will go with Harry Kane | :31:37. | :31:43. | |
and Daniel Sturridge. With Vardy's pace, Iceland will sit back and get | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
men behind the ball so there would be much space for Vardy to running | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
behind so Kane will come back in and the unpredictability of storage | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
might just win the game for us. I think you might even go for Jack | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
Wilshere as well, someone who can provide that bit of... He did not | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
look fit in the last game. It is hard when you have hardly played. He | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
backs him and he loves him as a footballer and if he doesn't start | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
him, he will definitely be introduced. He was poor in the last | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
game, he was the one guy that didn't look fit and that's understandable | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
because he hasn't played all season. He needs games. He's not had any. It | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
is funny to see you talking about England. What is funny about it? But | :32:26. | :32:33. | |
I have to say that I would go with Wayne Rooney tomorrow too sparked | :32:34. | :32:40. | |
the game. In midfield? That will be the type of game for him and I would | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
back him to score tomorrow, inside and outside the box, he can bend one | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
and he can see the pasta and he's been good. Not the same position | :32:49. | :32:56. | |
before -- he can see the pass. I'd like to seem shooting more from | :32:57. | :33:02. | |
outside the box. The to bang the goals in from 25, 30 yards all the | :33:03. | :33:08. | |
time. If England win, of course... Listen, we are already there waiting | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
and then we can talk. LAUGHTER | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
It was a bit of a struggle but you got there in the end. Who would you | :33:16. | :33:23. | |
fancy? You are doing that twitching thing again. It is automatic! Sorry. | :33:24. | :33:32. | |
I want France versus England, no disrespects to Iceland, but France- | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
England would be amazing. It would be special and we all want it. Thank | :33:37. | :33:41. | |
you, chaps, we are out of time, that is it from us. . Go through at | :33:42. | :33:52. | |
Toulouse. -- Belgium go through. # If I can get through this. | :33:53. | :33:59. | |
COMMENTATOR: Into the back of the net from Toby Alderweireld. Here is | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
a chance for two. De Bruyne, it so nearly two. | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
Dzsudzsak with the shot! It is a chance for Mertens. Good | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
save by Kiraly. Juhasz! Whistling past the post. | :34:15. | :34:20. | |
Actuate! 2-0, Belgium. Surely that will be enough to see them through. | :34:21. | :34:26. | |
Hazard! It is absolutely brilliant. Yannick Casco can make it four and | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
he has a Hungary 0-4 Belgium. Good to have you back, sir. I never | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
thought I'd live to see the day. | :34:34. | :34:37. |
