Belgium has a long World Cup history, but has never won a World Cup. A win would give Belgium a chance to do just that. Belgium has an illustrious history in the World Cup. From 1958 to 1966, the country did not qualify for the tournament. Belgium's 1970 appearance was the only one in that decade. They also missed the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, but reached the 2018 tournament in the quarterfinals in 2014.
Belgium's best result came in 1986, when they finished fourth, and the 2018 squad is full of talent, with a host of stars from the league, and many believe that this could be the last run with most of the 'Golden Generation' intact. Belgian head coach Roberto explained to the media that despite the team's desire to make history, the team will not play with fear.
