In 2007, Belgium were ranked 71st in the world by Fifa... Look at 'em now!

Marc Wilmots is working wonders with the Red Devils and guided them to a place at the top of Group B in Euro 2016 qualification. Not only that but Belgium also made history on Tuesday night with their 3-1 win over Israel in Brussels as their seventh consecutive game without defeat also ensured that they would move to first place in Fifa's world rankings when the table is updated next month. https://twitter.com/BelRedDevils/status/654033340899663872 Dries Mertens, Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard were all on target for Belgium as they cruised to victory and leapfrogged Argentina and Germany at the top of Fifa's rankings.
The Belgium hype train was set rolling ahead of last year's World Cup and it's showing no signs of stopping any time soon. The hipsters will be delighted. https://twitter.com/dries_mertens14/status/654085618654388224 https://twitter.com/SMignolet/status/654062719021223936 https://twitter.com/thomasvermaelen/status/654049030431997952
