They're very talented and wouldn't be an easy game, but I'd much prefer to play them over a lot of the other group winners.
beat Russia at the end*

and yes, they have looked about as poor as a team with six points can. I feared them a bit coming in, and they do have tremendous talent, but they are far from hot. They've been pedestrian and pulled six points from nothing. They are more talented than us, much like Portugal, and much like Portugal, I don't fear them. I fear Germany, Brazil, etc as teams that would kill us. I don't fear Belgium, I see them as a good team we can easily beat.
