Another team we will truly miss following last weekend's Quarter-Finals is the Red Devils of Belgium.  They definitely added a charm and flair that's hard to replace.

... plus #22 of the Red Devils, Nacer Chadli ... a footballer with a certain charm and flair of his own.  Watch for him in the future.
