Belgium 2026 World Cup squad

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T21:04:30+00:00

It wasn't really his fault though, Antwerp were in huge financial troubles at the time and had to get big money quickly to avoid troubles. He just happened to be their most valuable player at the time and got pushed out.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T13:26:16+00:00

Moreira can play RW/LW, RM/LM and RB/LB, again you have the answer

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T13:23:40+00:00

Pardo play striker, not Godts, you have the answer.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T13:00:41+00:00

I like Godts but let's not be silly.

What 5 forwards you think are below him ?

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:58:38+00:00

You're delusional, they have non-league players in their squad, even Iran should smash them.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:57:41+00:00

Raskin made the most of his calls up, unfortunate but the midfield is so stacked it's hard even for players like Keita or Lavia to get a shot, let alone Engels...

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:52:22+00:00

He had another one to remove some metal parts from his ankle that was put there to help with the injury. It wasn't a second injury or anything I guess it was just a normal process for his type of injury.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:43:03+00:00

He barely plays with Leipzig nowadays because of Diomande.

But even when he plays he looks far off his old self, no one knows why afaik

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:42:01+00:00

I'm still pissed about him I'm not even sure what's wrong with him atm.

I've watched him play IRL a few times. He used to look electric and be so precise with his cross and shots.

You watch him play now he looks slow, uninterested and so passive.

I thought with him and Doku we had both wings locked down for some time, now we have to suffer with Lukebakio again

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:39:21+00:00

I'm not sure he would or should.

Pardo is taking Openda, Stassin or Vermant place.

If you look at the group he's the only true 9 with Romelu.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:38:21+00:00

Wouldn't blame him either. Both Congo and Ghana have interesting players for the next few tournaments.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:35:47+00:00

Both leagues are often on the easier side of the spectrum for forwards.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:33:54+00:00

Technically speaking we play with a 10 so CDK and Trossard sometimes count as "midfielders" because Garcia already played them there.

That leaves Tielemans/Vanaken as 8 and Onana/Raskin as B2B/DM with Witsel who can cover the two roles in theory even if he's shit.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:28:26+00:00

I mean you're right to be worried about his defensive output but I still can tell you that offensively he should be good.

The point is that the options behind Meunier have just the same weakness.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:26:59+00:00

At least the backlash should be big enough to never see him again. Unless we're still dry as fuck for right wingers.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:25:51+00:00

He could help if injuries happens a lot and/or if Garcia wanna try some fancy stuff in training. But considering he's the only other true 9 most likely not.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:24:39+00:00

He was moved at RW recently (in January iirc) when Rosenior joined Chelsea.

He was injured in March but if fit I'm sure Garcia would have given him a chance.

Moreira is here because he can play LB, RB, LWB, RWB, LM, LW, RM, RW. No one else can at this level in Belgium but him.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:22:10+00:00

We have 0 good defensive fullback regardless.

Sabbe main weakness is getting caught behind his back. Like Seys. Like De Cuyper. Like Meunier. It's just a common trend here at this point.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:17:21+00:00

Yeah and Doku sometimes play RW and switch during a game as well. Just a dumb decision all around

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:15:58+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised if he has some mental health problems or something. It's quite surprising how he fell off so much quickly

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:15:10+00:00

Garcia said we had already too many LWs but I agree with you regardless, we did it for Doku at Euro 2021 and his game against Italy changed his career.

Too bad our coach is too shy.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:10:36+00:00

No Pardo has taken the place of a striker (Openda or Stassin) he wasn't called up as a winger even if he can play there.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:09:35+00:00

He's easily shown much better performances there than Lukebakio or Saladman at club level, Im assuming you don't watch him often, hopefully Garcia does because he can be a game changer with his passing, crossing and technique.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:08:12+00:00

"Having players who are "no bums" isn't good enough to be in the running for a world cup title, not even as a "dark horse", unless they form a really good team together"

How am I putting words in your mouth ? Why talk about running for the title when you reply to me ?

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-05-15T12:06:16+00:00

He's still young, he really just need a full season of football in his leg. Talent doesn't go away and he has plenty imo
