If we see soccer in a few countries, then we will know many things about the culture there:
is the sport-accommodation well-structured, are there any coaches who will put their players to the limit, any motivation for this sport, how is the competition between national teams, who are their fans, the children are well-guided to their beloved sport, what about team-spirit?....
I wonder why the Belgians are loosing again against an unknown foreign team. I think it's their national character: they are quickly satisfied...
Once they have won, they want to take a rest. With other words, they don't have hair on their teeth's, they don't show character. Even when the infrastructure is well organised and trainings are frequently done, it depends on luck to score. And that's a pity...
Why does somebody has a talent and others not? It's the passion for the game that counts, the winning-spirit. The background of a player is important. If somebody has seen life as a survival, and you know that this person has the talent to make it, he will become a great player when he is well-guided. Simply look at the background of many top-soccer's: nearly all of them came from the slums or have to fight each day for a living.
If you want to reach the ultimate dream, you have to fight for it, in which job you are in to. Whatever it is, your work, sport, dream, girl... you have to believe in it and fight for it.
With a good strategy from your coach, you will attain everything you have dreamed of.
(And for the Belgians: keep moving forward! Don't rest in your laurels!)
