Soccer-Of ballboys and burgers - Hazard heeds the warnings

By Peter Rutherford SAO PAULO, June 20 (Reuters) - Belgium arrived at the World Cup with a huge reputation and billed as one of the teams to watch in Brazil, but delivered a largely underwhelming performance in their Group H opener against Algeria. Much the same can be said of playmaker Eden Hazard. Described by coach Marc Wilmots as having the potential to be "one of the five best players in the world", Hazard has the blend of pace and skill that managers love and fans drool over. His ability to drift through defences and release the perfect pass, combined with an impressive scoring rate, convinced Chelsea to splash out more than 30 million pounds ($50 million) to bring him from Lille to Stamford Bridge in 2012.
