A strong Belgium side boasting of some of the big names in the business will be expected to run riot against proverbial minnows Panama in a Group G World Cup clash here on Monday. Wide forward Dries Mertens though cautioned his team not to take their opponents lightly after Iceland's surprise draw with Argentina.

"Yeah, it is a World Cup, so every team that is there can play. They have something," Napoli star Mertens said. "I think Iceland is a very good team and I hope we can play against Panama and play our game and that we can win. "I don't know that much (about them) but we are starting tonight with that," he said of the Central American country.
