The Golden Generation celebrates its farewell tour. Hazard has retired, Lukaku is past his peak, and De Bruyne now plays at Napoli — no longer at City. At the 2022 World Cup Belgium were already eliminated in the group stage. But give up? Belgium doesn't do that. Doku is the new Hazard, Courtois is still a top-3 goalkeeper, and on a good day De Bruyne decides any match with a single pass. Under Rudi Garcia, the search is on for a new identity — less possession, more counter. Group G with Egypt and Iran is winnable. Quarter-final is a fair ceiling. Semi-final only if De Bruyne is magical. After that, it's really over — and Belgian football begins a new chapter.
Mohamed Salah's last chance at World Cup success. Alongside him Hamdy, Marmoush and Trezeguet. Africa Cup runners-up 2021. In Group G with Belgium, group top is tough; second place is reachable. Finally reaching the Round of 16 is the goal.
