Belgium has had an intriguing Euros Campaign. They started the tournament with a shocking loss against Slovakia. The Falcons left The Red Devils stunned with an early goal. The second game was an improvement as they beat a rampaging Romania to secure their first 3 points. Despite this positive result, their third game was extremely disappointing. They played out a dull draw against Ukraine which left them languishing in second place behind Romania. The Belgians have had a lackluster start, but the knockouts may prove to be much more interesting. Belgium face France on Monday in what is a mouthwatering clash, and despite the French being massive favorites, the Belgians may provide a surprise or two.
New Beginnings For Belgium
The Golden Generation of Belgium was a failure. Despite a host of stars adorning the national team, the Reds were disappointing at major tournaments. However, the failure of their Golden Generation may be beneficial for the current Belgium Team. The talent they possessed had put pressure on them, but that pressure has been alleviatedThis is a new Belgian side under Domenico Tedesco. They’ve got fresh faces such as Jeremy Doku and the very impressive Amadou Onana. Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku are the leaders of this new side and they may prove crucial in Belgium’s stand-off against France.
Upset On The Cards
Both teams have looked shaky this tournament. The Poles dominated France late in the final matchday. This game will not be as straightforward as it looks. Belgium can upset the 2-time World Champions. The French have been disappointing in front of goal and Belgium’s dogged defending may prove difficult for Kylian Mbappe and Co to breach. This Euros has been full of upsets, Belgium themselves were beaten by Slovakia. France has had a rough history in the Euros, this coupled with their disappointing performance this edition leaves them very susceptible to an upset and Belgium may very well be the team to beat them.
