What Managers Say

Marc Wilmots (Belgium): "Pressure, you know, it is worse if you have child who's ill and in hospital. That's pressure. Here there is no pressure. We have made huge step forward in just a few years so let's put things in perspective."

Vahid Halilhodzic (Algeria): "With the Belgian defense, they are not all Ferraris either, you know. Belgium does have a certain weakness here. They have a good team. They are dangerous offensively, that is true. But we have strong organization. It will be like a chess match."
