QF 2 Wales Vs Belgium Friday July 01,2016
Kevin De Bruyne wants Belgium's Euro 2016 QF clash on Friday July 01,2016 with Wales to be like a home game, the Lille stadium is just 100 kilometres from the Belgian border.
A huge wave of Belgians is expected to cross the frontier to invade the French city to watch their country take on opponents that De Bruyne called "a technically and defensively astute side."
Belgium are on a high after their 4-0 rout of Hungary on Sunday June 26,2016 that saw Chelsea forward Eden Hazard produce an inspirational display as captain
The one-sided performance against Hungary in Toulouse has encouraged Belgian hopes that they can emulate their 1980 feat of reaching the final, when they lost to West Germany.
Belgium, who played Wales both in the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 qualifying, failed to win any of their last three meetings
Wales also held Belgium twice in Brussels and won 1-0 in Cardiff just over a year ago when Gareth Bale's winner all but booked their place at the European Championship finals.

Robson-Kanu, who hasn't even got a club side after being let go by Reading this summer, along with Burnley's Vokes have put England's pampered Premier League players to shame by firing their country of three million into the semi-finals of the tournament.
