'Belgium lack the desire and instinct to defend'

Our panel of European football experts have picked out Belgium's problem at Euro 2016 - their defence. Mina Rzouki and Raphael Honigstein analysed the team who are ranked second in the world.

Rzouki said: "They don't have the guy to do the dirty work to let the attackers flourish. Belgium lack organisation and the desire to defend."

Honigstein added: "Belgium's fantastic offensive players do not have the instinct to defend."

That lack of 'instinct' could be crucial as Belgium take on Wales in the Quarter Final of Euro 2016 as Honigstein said: "Two years ago you would have said Belgium all the way. But now it is much closer and a 50/50 shot."
