Belgium Waffles

Belgium is home to lots of things, my favorite formula one race track, good food, and an amazing national team. In WCQ Belgium had 5 wins and 3 draws. They scored 29 goals and conceded 7. Kevin De Bruyne scored 6 of those 29 goals. They tend to play a 4-2-3-1 and love holding the ball and dominating possession. They have a strong midfield with depth all around, super star quality, and dynamic wide players. Belgium does not necessarily have a set weakness other than not being a very fast team and historically struggling against the top teams in the world. You can rely on them beating smaller teams. If they get upset and ruin your RateGame pickems don’t be saying “Landon! You said that they won’t lose to smaller teams!!!” Sorry bud but go ask the team why they lost. I like Belgium a lot, I think they’re a great team. Doku on the left wing will certainly be someone to watch out for. He can blow by you and wipe a cross in. The right winger Lukébakio is very similar to Doku, just a straight baller. You have Kevin De Bruyne up top as well. If you pay attention to soccer/football you may have heard the Kevin De Bruyne song. If not I’ll put it in the comments. You’ll probably be hearing it chanted when he’s scores. You also have Lukaku coming off the bench, he’s a goal scorer. Onana and Tielemans will be reliable midfields that will give you length and are simply put “good at what they do.” They do have a young defensive unit that lacks big moment experience. Sitting in group G with Iran, Egypt, and Tim Paynes New Zealand they are the mega favorites to top this group. I have them getting all nine points and walking into the knockouts. When they get to the knockouts they could play France, if that happens Belgium might be done. France is an entirely different animal compared to some of these teams. I think Belgium can make a deep run, if not it’s just another World Cup and another let down. Thank you to everyone who reads these and shows support to them. I’m not the best writer and I get lazy and make mistakes so thanks for barring with me! I’ll keep on doing these every now and then till every team has played or I run out of teams to make. Thanks again.
