The FIFA World Cup is starting in less than 10 days and teams that have qualified for the tournament have to submit their 26-man squad by this weekend and today the European giants Belgium have announced their roster.
The Belgian side are coming into this tournament with realistically the last chance to win a major trophy cause their golden generation has only achieved the FIFA World rank 1 and a 3rd place spot in the 2018 World Cup in their span of time.
De Bruyne, Courtois and Hazard Likely to play their final world cup
So this tournament would be the last for the likes of Courtois, De Bruyne and Eden Hazard. Hence, this could be an advantage for them as they’ll be motivated more than ever to this Cup and create a legacy.
