THE big game today is Belgium v Ireland and like me Greg is siding with the Belgians.
I've made the call but I'm not 100 per cent confident and I see from Greg's write-up he also has doubts so make up your own mind.
Belgium v Republic Ireland (2pm)
For the players they havecBelguim should be cruising matches but sadly for them they just don’t seem to click like they should. Italy were outstanding in the first game but this will be easier and with three points a must it’s hard to ignore the 10-11 being offered for the Belguim win.
For me it’s one of these games where if Belguim win you say to yourself, “Belgium, No.2 ranked country in the world, full of great players, 10-11 to beat Ireland, what a bet.” Ireland will be organised but I’m putting a bit of faith into this Belguim side to put on a performance and get the three points.
Back Belgium to Win

Totally agree with your write up, but also agree that should Ireland win or draw we will say ‘Belgium have never shown their true potential and this result was no surprise given their recent string of lacklustre performances’. Whatever the result is it will not be a surprise! GL with this but I am going to leave alone and ensure I break even for the day!
Your spot on Michael – it’s one of those ones that I’m just having to go with my gut feel and today I feel Belguim will turn up
All hail Greg’s Gut……!
Hopefully Ireland prove you wrong today, Greg. Thought Ireland played quite well against Sweden and really should have won the game. There’s no way that Belgium should be ranked second in the world. Personally I wouldn’t have them in the top ten. I reckon the draw is the bet for today.
Decided in the end to put small stakes on a Belgian win. If not today then when for Belgium?! It is do or die, and for that reason I’ll back them (very slightly!)
Weighed in weighed in ??
GregBrowning, nice one. I went quite big on Belgium but wasn’t confident.
Well done, Greg. 3 from3. This second half has been painful to watch for Ireland fans.
Well done Greg. 2 winning bets in but it’ll a lot more to cheer me up
Bish bash bosh
Greg hits the lipstick again with a 3 for the price of 1 treble.

Cheers gents – was one of those games were the bookies made it an easy decision to back!
