the only risk lies in the games against Singapore and Malta.
however, 8-0 or 7-1, it makes a difference in HCA, but u still need luck in the draw. u can have a 8-0 record, best point differential, but it won't matter much if France, Australia or Chile end up 32nd. u'd prefer to be 2nd then and play a nation such as Iceland or Greece.
So the record 8-0 and 7-1 is important, but the teams u face in the KO stages is equally important. even with HCA, Belgium could lose to a couple of those other teams. key is to avoid facing them in the early KO stages.
still very promissing draw. there is potential to go the distance here, but a lot has to go the right way. with a bitt of luck we can improve on our best consolation preformance (which was making it to the quarterfinals where we narrowly lost to Spain in season 20).
