This is almost certainly the last World Cup for Belgium's golden generation โ Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois all named in the squad for one final shot at the major prize that the most talented group in Belgian history never won. That generation peaked in Russia 2018 and crashed out in Qatar 2022 without a single knockout match. The window is closing. 2026 is the last realistic chance to make history โ and this squad knows it.
Belgium twice lost out to the eventual winners in the semifinals โ Argentina in 1986 and France in 2018 โ before beating England for third place in the latter tournament. Their best is a bronze medal. De Bruyne at 34, now at Napoli after leaving Manchester City, arrives fit and with his passing range fully intact โ operating as the number 10 in Garcia's 4-2-3-1, if Belgium go deep, De Bruyne pulling the strings will be the reason. Lukaku enters the tournament with 89 international goals โ Belgium's all-time record scorer โ despite a season disrupted by injury. Courtois in goal is among the best in the world on his best days. De Bruyne, Courtois, Lukaku and Witsel all appear at their fourth successive World Cup together โ a statistic that underlines just how long this generation has been together and how much they still want this.
The loudest reaction to Garcia's squad announcement came from a notable absence โ Malick Fofana, Belgium's top scorer in UEFA qualifying with six goals, was left out entirely. A bold call from a manager who clearly decided the veterans deserved their final shot over the emerging generation. Time will tell if that call is vindicated.
Group G โ Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand โ is about as kind a draw as Belgium could have hoped for. Egypt bring defensive organization and are the toughest test on paper. Iran have seven World Cup appearances and a disciplined structure. New Zealand are the group's biggest underdogs. Belgium should top this group โ I'd be genuinely surprised if they didn't. The Egypt opener on June 15 in Seattle is the one to watch. If Belgium are sharp there the group is done. They beat the United States 5-2 in Atlanta in a March warm-up with De Bruyne and Lukaku both fit and clicking โ that performance showed exactly what this team is capable of when everything clicks.
My prediction: Belgium first. The golden generation deserves one more run. This is it.
