Belgium
The national team faces a challenge in the goalkeeper position. With star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois out of the Euros due to injury, the goalkeeping position will be filled by either Nottingham Forest's Zellers or Wolfsburg's Castells.
right back
: Castagne of Fulham
left back
: Titus of Rennes, Ligue 1
Zhongwei prefecture level city in Ningxia
: 37-year-old veteran Vertonghen and Leicester City center back Faith
Belgium's backline was only third rate in the Europa League. Although Vertonghen is experienced, he is old. And while Fez is better at handling high balls, the overall defense is not strong enough.
The core of the trailing organization
: Villa's Tilemans
lower back
: De Bruyne, currently the world's No. 1 attacking midfielder
De Bruyne is the only world-class player in the Belgian squad, and his organization and scheduling in the midfield will be key to the team's attack.
left wing (soccer)
: Trossard of Arsenal
right wing forward (soccer position)
: Doku of Manchester City or Bakayoko of Eindhoven.
center forward (hockey, football)
: Lukaku back in form
Belgium's forward pairing is technically excellent, fast and possesses a great threat especially on the wings.
There is no doubt that Belgium is a strong contender for the title on paper. However, the biggest challenge facing the team is how to deal with the relationship between players and their obedience in the locker room. Rumors of infighting and locker room problems could be a major concern for the team.
