hazard
van buyten
vertonghen
kompany
de bruyne
vermaelen
dembele
lukaku
witsel
defour
mignolet

They must be due to shine at a tournament soon.

Its strange a star studded team like that missed out on Euros, these rising teams come in cycles and at the moment Belgium definitely have a good team going. Cote D'voire were the previous rising team, tho they are at the end of their cycle at the moment with Drogba and the others almost retiring.

They need a well recognised manager that can build them into a team someone like Hiddink perhaps. He usually does well with these International jobs.

Exactly take city for example. Very good players=very good result. And our squad last year very average players=very average performance
