From most people you speak to, the squad everyone has been looking forward to seeing most at this World Cup is Belgium.

We see the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany and Thibaut Courtois week in, week out for their clubs. Yet for many, this is the first opportunity to see this extravagantly gifted golden generation joining up in the red shirt of Belgium.

With the relatively straightforward group they have been given and their obvious talents, many are expecting the Red Devils to go far into the competition.

Yet Benefoot.net Belgian editor Bjorn de Cock is more cautious and on Episode 5 of our Team 33 podcast, we analysed their weaknesses and Belgium's more realistic expectations.

From glaring issues at full-back to the lack of depth at striker, Bjorn also chats to us about the reason why the Belgian FA cannot take full credit for producing this generation.
