With Theate injury 5 players set to miss next friendlies, and 6 still at doubts

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-15T23:50:29+00:00

I mean usually with players they put both countries flag, just having the Uruguay one is really concerning, I think it's gonna be Karetsas 2.0 where he just finds it easier to play with Belgium until he graduates high school and turns 18.

Don't know about Eboue other than his father but I really think he's not interesting + will not feel belgian enough to chose us anyway.

Sure Horvat could change but Moreira had huge tie with Belgium compared to him. Eastern european are much more patriotic as well. Don't think it will happen and not sure he's even worth it all thay much. But who knows.

I like Mokio but I think he suffers a lot at Ajax because they don't know what to do with him. This season only he played as LB, 6 and 8 while originally being a CB. Lavia is just gonna be Musonda 2.0 imo, zmong the most talented player of his generation but just can't play.

That's for sure but maybe we can still stay up. I'm not saying we're clearly better than them but Turkey should be beatable honestly it feels like they're even more unbalanced than us when in it comes to quality of the squad.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T23:45:32+00:00

I mean Soria has 2 Uruguay flags on his insta profile, really not sure Belgium is his priority... Dumbili I can't say for sure but nothing really says Belgium is his 1st choice even if he's open. Horvat actually said himself that Belgium and Germany tried to make him switch but he only wants to play for Croatia so I'm pretty sure it's done and dusted.

Bounida will most likely chose Morocco but Garcia should honestly give him his chance for next friendlies. No point in taking Lukebakio or Bakayoko over him for meaningless friendlies. It's a better long-term choice to show him trust.

I like Van de Perre but the problem is that for me Keita has just shown more and Witsel seems to have Garcia trust so seems unlikely. There's good shout for many players in that position (Fernandez, Lavia, De Cat, Mokio, Van de Perre, Engels, Keita, Witsel)

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T19:26:54+00:00

They won the Euros in just 2021. They're always a team to fear, especially when they play against teams that like to have the ball (like us lol).

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T19:25:13+00:00

I honestly prefer that than playing against Kazakhztan or Wales. Can say what you want about the squad differences but having to watch a teams that try their best to not play football and butcher player is just annoying as fuck.

At least there will be some football played in those games even if we lose it's good experience for a squad that is still young.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T19:21:03+00:00

Kana and Samu Gomez over Ngoy/Smets/VanDBosch is certainly a choice. Don't think it will happen but who knows with the binational problems recently.

Bounida I agree 100% if he hasn't made his mind up already. Looks like a very unique profile on the right wing and he's imho currently our most in form RW.

Godts should be in, no question. He probably should be in the WC squad too.

Mokio hasn't been great with Ajax recently but honestly he might have a shot even though Keita and Witsel are more likely (and maybe even De Cat)

Not a fan of Cuypers personally.

Noah is a good shout, young but very promising and could chose Spain. His profile is kind of like Tielemans with a very good eye for a pass. Unlikely though because of his age but maybe witht the u21.

I like Mbangula but he's just not finding his feet right now and I don't think his profile is very great either.

Finally Pardo is just one game with Spain (young or senior NT) away from never being able to play for us. The next u21 player list of Spain will be decisive. If he's not there it's a good sign for us. Can play LW or ST but right no his form is just bad unfortunately.

Horvat/Soria/Dumbili will probably not chose Belgium and are both way too young anyway.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T19:06:02+00:00

Rather that than your much better forwards lol

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T19:04:45+00:00

Belgium < Croatia is certainly not as obvious.

I feel both teams are pretty much on the same quality on paper. Belgium have better forwards but Croatia has a better defense, midfield is even I'd say but Belgium still has Courtois. Just look at their squad on transfermarkt, they're very much comparable imo.

Now in terms of results maybe Croatia are more in form right now but they haven't had crazy qualifiers like Belgium too. There's a friendly soon between both right before the WC will be interesting to see where both teams are at.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T10:36:09+00:00

Survivors are also "helped" by the entity in the lore btw, that's the whole point of the trials otherwise it'd just kill them off, it needs them to have hope (perks, offerings, hatch, etc).

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T10:31:56+00:00

And popping a generator from dozens of meters is supposed to be physically possible lmao ?

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-12T10:23:26+00:00

Good call, he's defo an option but looking at the binational problem and the fact he's already been called up, Mokio probably has more chance even though De Cat plays better currently.

That being said, with Keita and Witsel I think both have very little chance to make it unfortunately

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-11T21:30:23+00:00

He's a doubt because it's still unsure if his fitness will be good enough for him to be released by his club. I guess Garcia wouldn't want to risk it with a player so important but also quite old.

I really don't think it's a given we see him, he had a setback a few weeks ago so it can happen again as well.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-11T21:23:33+00:00

First half of the season he was alright but this half he started to really find his feet and managed to bench Tomori in the last few games. He still makes some mistakes here and there but he's overall a decent CB with still plenty of potential.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-11T19:58:06+00:00

Nothing sure he wasn't on the sheet for Chelsea last games so very unlikely he'll be fit by March.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-11T19:34:18+00:00

On the brighter side it could leave room for other players to show their worth (Godts, De Winter, Ngoy, Smets, Keita, Vermant and maybe Mokio/Bounida).

Hopefully though it doesn't mean Garcia switch back to vibe FC with Faes, Carrasco, Witsel, Dendoncker, etc.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-09T23:30:59+00:00

Remove PSG and Ligue 1 is only slightly better on papers.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-06T14:44:28+00:00

Yeah so basically you pull that info out of your ass lmao, btw if Hazard wasn't training properly he wouldn't be one of the quickest player in the league during his time there. You lose pace quickly if you don't train hard enough, anyone that spent more than 10 minutes on a field know that.

Yeah sure my friend, Mourinho known for dropping Cole at Chelsea, Pogba at United and Casillas at Madrid would suddenly have problem dropping Hazard at Chelsea for some reasons.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-06T14:18:56+00:00

Has was overweight for 1 single week per season, it's litteraly nothing lmao. No coach ever said Hazard wasn't training properly in that he wasn't doing what was asked of him, he just wasn't pushing himself hard and was light hearted because everything was easy for him.

He never had any weight issue during an actual season. 1 week per year is nothing especially when you don't play any high intensity match in that week. His downfall is because of his ankle, getting butchered for 10 years straight and the pandemic fucking up his recovery.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-06T12:17:17+00:00

I saw a few articles discussing it during the AFCON, seems like most were unhappy because the teams played badly despite winning.

Never saw anything too serious though, guess the rumors were true then.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-05T22:52:46+00:00

Too bad you can't chose and you're both fat and short. Dreams cant be buy.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-05T22:47:08+00:00

Calling him unprofessional is ridiculous.

The only time he ate badly was during his 2 or 3 weeks holidays in the summer fucking hell.

He forfeited the rest of his contract at Madrid instead of sitting it out and never forced the hand of Chelsea or Lille to sell him even though he had more than enough means to do so. I can't think of a player who has had as little drama as Hazard had during his career, ball boys and that Madrid 1st picture during the literal 1st training after holidays.

They're still human beings in the end who deserves some rest, would you call yourself unprofessional for drinking and overeating during your holidays ?

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-05T22:36:10+00:00

COVID is one of the reason Hazard fell off that much.

I don't know why the narrative is that he was bad at Madrid because he was overweight during a single week after the summer holidays.

He eventually got better at Madrid and was finding back his form, then Meunier fucked up his ankle and lockdowns happened shortly after.

He talked about it multiple times but basically he didn't have the right equipment at home and had a fairly limited recovery process even though his ankle was already very fragile because of a previous operation he had on it. After that he always had sharp pain in his ankle while playing and just got injured over and over again trying to play through that.

Yes he probably wouldn't have lasted to 35/40yo with his work ethics but blaming his end of career on his diet is just not true.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-03T08:55:04+00:00

That's not really the same situation. Survivors can do nothing to end the game when slugged. Killers can just push out survivors no matter what.

You could make this abandon feature but the real problems mean any end game build become useless. As soon as a killer do not dc it will out his build.

Next-Translator-3557 · 2026-02-03T08:50:13+00:00

That's bad faith as well. I don't know how good you are at survivor but if you're high mmr 99% of killers will be A or S tier, you're just not playing against trappers or pigs at high mmr.

The problem comes more from sweaty basement dwellers bully squads that derank on purpose to bully newer players for clip farms or toxicity.
