“Germany, Spain and Brazil are real contenders and I think we’re just behind with Argentina, Belgium and England. In football everything is possible. You just need to believe and to have a good attitude and talent. Our national team has a lot of talented players and now it’s about finding the right balance. We’ll go there with ambition and will do our best to surpass expectations. We’ll push ourselves to the limit and compete against the best teams in the world.”
Jan Vertonghen (Belgium)
“We’ve had the same group of players for a couple of years now and 80 per cent of the guys are the same as in Brazil four years ago – that should give us the experience and spirit to do a bit better in Russia.
