Belgium are vulnerable on that left hand side. Vertonghen doesn't have the pace to play LB against the tougher opponents, so I think he'll have a torrid time against Brazil.Probably the worst game I've seen him play in ages, but that goal was huge.
Contract until 2019, will he sign a new one?

VERTON-GONE? Tottenham’s Jan Vertonghen targeted by Paris Saint-Germain as he enters final year of contract
Belgian a key figure in Spurs' backline but could be let go if he does not agree a new deal
Paris Saint-Germain will target Jan Vertonghen this summer as the Tottenham centre-back mulls over signing a new deal with his current club.
The Belgian, 31, has less than a year remaining on his current contract at White Hart Lane and could follow compatriot Toby Alderweireld in holding the club to ransom.
The Times report key man Vertonghen has been offered a new deal but that French champions PSG are ready to pounce if he gets cold feet.
Spurs are still yet to sign a player this summer and with just over two weeks left until the Premier League transfer window slams shut on August 9, fans are becoming agitated.
The earlier deadline adopted by English clubs, three weeks sooner than their European rivals, could leave Spurs in turmoil.
If Vertonghen rejects the contract offered to him and demands a move away after the window shuts, Mauricio Pochettino will be unable to bring in a replacement until January.
That would leave Spurs extremely short at the back, with Alderweireld, who partnered Vertonghen in the Belgium side that came third at the World Cup, also considering his future.
Alderweireld blasted Pochettino for his decision to leave him out of the team last season, which the Argentine boss puts down to a loss of form.
The player however suspects that his refusal to sign a new deal was the real reason behind his benching, starting just three Premier League games in 2018.
The rise of Colombian Davinson Sanchez since his £42m move from Ajax last summer would offer some comfort if Vertonghen and/or Alderweireld were to leave, but it would still require wholesale changes in the make-up of the team’s defence.
Vertonghen, Alderweireld & Dembele is contract turmoil. Big decisions or changes needed at Spurs with certain linchpins over the next month to twelve months or so
Foyth injured. Not sure how long before backSign Sanchez down to a huge new deal and bring through Foyth.
It's almost as if the club know what they are doing!
Foyth injured. Not sure how long before back
'Meanwhile, young defender Juan Foyth will not be joining the squad after a scan revealed a knee injury to be worse than first thought. Argentinian Foyth, a cup-tie regular, joined Spurs for £8m last summer.'
"GONE"!!!!Hopefully, this is just no more than TalkShite click bait (hence no link to click):

Pretty much mate, though you missed the mandatory "with just over two weeks left until the Premier League transfer window slams shut".Think that cover it.
