Competing freshman Wales, the red devils conceded a 3-1 defeat. In the games before convince the top players of Belgium. In the last sixteen Hungary was defeated without a fight 0: 4 and the group phase closed Belgium – except for the defeat to Italy – sovereign. The strong collective was also in qualifying for the finals in Russia. In the group H the Belgians did not concede a single defeat and had to give points only against the Greeks. After ten laps, the red devils took first place nine points ahead of Greece. The goal difference was also outstanding: Belgium scored an average of 4.3 goals per game and conceded only six goals in ten qualifying matches! Especially Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard were mainly responsible for the value on the offensive. Lukaku was the best scorer on the European continent with eleven goals behind Lewandowski and Ronaldo in qualifying for the World Cup finals. In addition to the strong offensive, the Belgians also have a superior defense. Thibaut Courtois and Toby Alderweireld are the backbone of the defense. Also in the match last Saturday against Portugal Belgium did not concede, so the Europeans in the duel with Egypt also received no conceding – after all, Salah is not on the court.
At the World Cup in Russia, Belgium is considered as a co-favorite, although the Belgians have never been European or world champion. In Group G, the red devils meet Panama, Tunisia and England, with the top duel following only on the final day. Until then, Belgium will probably already have secured the entry into the second round.
Egypt:
After 28 years absence, Egypt is back in a World Cup finals. This is only the third World Cup for the country with about 95 million inhabitants. In 1934, the Africans even made it into the round of 16. Also this year it is the big dream of the Pharaohs to survive the group phase. In Group A, however, there are strong competitors with Russia, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. The main problem of the Egyptians, however, is currently the state of health of Mohamed Salah. The high flyer of the season injured in the Champions League final against Real Madrid on the shoulder. Qualifying for the World Cup decided the 25-year-old almost single-handedly. He scored five goals in six match days. This secured Egypt’s first place in Group E ahead of Uganda and Ghana. Particularly noteworthy is that Egypt only won games of qualifying when Salah scored – in the two games without goals from Salah, the Egyptians lost points. This shows how important the superstar is for his country. So much the better were the latest news that the striker gets fit in time for the World Cup.
At present, Egypt is in a minor crisis, for five games, the Africans have not achieved a victory. After all, they last reached a goalless draw against Colombia on Friday. The question remains whether such a performance against Belgium will be enough for a draw. After all, Egypt also conceded defeats in March against Portugal and Greece.
