<p><strong>The Red Devils of Belgium <strong>start this <strong>European Championship <strong>as one of the three favorite teams to lift the cup and <strong>France and England<strong> The <strong>Belgian<strong> national team is led by superstars <strong>Kevin De Bruyne Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku<strong> who will start their way against <strong>Russia<strong> who could surprise him if they are neglected at any time This may be the last chance to win in a tournament against teams of this caliber for Belgium These world stars are already beginning to show their age which is why

team which is currently in a period of football renewal and does not have any world class players to face this <strong>Eurocup<strong> but in the same way they can surprise because other teams may take them for granted Their aspirations are minimal so advancing to the next round in this tournament would be an excellent entry for the <strong>Russians<strong><p> < wpparagraph > < wpparagraph > <p>This first home game can provide them with extra motivation although <strong>Belgium<strong> is far above them footballing speaking Another point to note is that <strong>Russia<strong> has only managed to win 3 of its last 11 games <strong>Russia <strong>comes from drawing against the <strong>Polish<strong> team 1 1 and defeating <strong>Bulgaria <strong>1 0 in their previous two preparation matches<p> < wpparagraph > < wpparagraph > <p><strong>Next you will enjoy the best moments of the last match played by Russia<strong><p> < wpparagraph > < wpembed
