Most Belgians will say he can be lazy and doesn't always want to. I'd disagree. If you read Hazard's interviews he often says that he pays with pain. This season I've seen him limp very often. So I think it's pain holding him back.
Also, Hazard is human. Ronaldo might recover from a hamstring strain in a week or play even with half a hamstring, but Hazard seems to be as susceptible to pain as the rest of us. He's no robot.

In terms of quality I think we are right up there with the top teams. But @Zacheryah is right, we have almost never played well as a team. Frankly my all time favorite game was probably the one we played against you guys in 2014 (France last year was great too, but that was a friendly).
But even against the USA:
- we created a lot of chances, but failed to score to make it much easier for ourselves
- we could have lost in the 90th minute as you had a huge chance to score the winner.
Unlike Zach though I give the team some credit. I know most of them play for big teams, but the World Cup was still their first big international tournament and I think that has to count for something.

If you try to take digs about training, i'll remind you since my girlfriend allowed me to coach her training (2x/week, twice squat, one sumo and one additional stiff legged(for reps) deadlift)
She's around 125 deadlift at the moment, at 62kg while beeing athletic and cute.
Which is more then half the males of this forum can lift.
My gym partner whom i also coach and follow up has equalled the belgian record deadlift in the -93 1.5 months ago.
Try harder when attempting to make a dig
