The Gaffer on
Belgium
World Cup 2026 ยท Pre-tournament verdict
The Gaffer says
โBelgium, mate? Talent's still there, son, but this golden generation's gone proper grey at the temples โ De Bruyne carrying 'em like he's lugging a sofa up the stairs. Ceiling's a quarter-final on a good day, but I don't trust that defence as far as I can chuck it. Verdict: Flattering to deceive, again.โ
After they went out
โCalled it weeks ago: Belgium's golden generation finally turned to rust, and Spain barely broke sweat.โ
The Gaffer's picks for Belgium fixtures will appear here after the schedule is set.
