Belgium needs to show 'grit' against Ireland at Euro 2016 (The Associated Press)

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots is looking for some ''grit and aggression'' from his players. After a demoralizing loss to Italy exposed defensive frailties and wayward finishing, the Belgians face Ireland in their second European Championship match on Saturday and even Romelu Lukaku's place up front seems to be in jeopardy. Lukaku had a disappointing showing in the 2-0 loss to Italy on Monday, missing a great chance to equalize in the second half.
