What is Belgium doing?

Two draws after their matches at the 2026 World Cup and only scoring a single goal – that's what coach Rudi Garcia's Belgium team managed in Group G, a group considered not too difficult for them. Perhaps the team's fans are finding it very difficult to understand what the players have been showing on the field.

The Belgian team had a rather disappointing match, having to settle for a goalless draw against Iran.

While the 1-1 draw against Egypt could be considered acceptable, given that Egypt also had its share of stars and the two teams were evenly matched—with Belgium even narrowly avoiding defeat after Egypt scored first—the goalless draw against Iran is undoubtedly causing disappointment among Belgian fans.

It's clear that the Iranian team was significantly underestimated, being inferior to Belgium in virtually every aspect, from FIFA rankings and player quality to rest time. Belgium's superiority was even evident on the field, with Rudi Garcia's team dominating possession for 70% of the time, taking 23 shots compared to Iran's 7, and Belgian players mostly operating in the opponent's half… yet they still managed to score a perfect zero.

The Belgian national team hasn't even officially scored a goal after two matches at the 2026 World Cup .

Given Belgium's performance against Iran, the abysmal state of their attack is undeniable. Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard, Alexis Saelemaekers, Dodi Lukebakio, Matias Fernandez-Pardo… were completely ineffective against Alireza Beiranvand's goal. Even their only goal at the 2026 World Cup so far came from an own goal by Egyptian defender Mohamed Hany.

Looking a little further ahead, scoring goals has always been a problem for this team, despite having a number of attacking stars like Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard, Alexis Saelemaekers… and playmakers like Kevin De Bruyne, Youri Tielemans… behind them. For example, in their last 10 matches, the Belgian national team has drawn 5 times and only scored a meager 3 goals in those 5 games.

If they continue to play with this kind of performance, coach Rudi Garcia's team will find it difficult to go far in the 2026 World Cup.

Following the disappointing performance of the golden generation, which boasted world- class stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, and Thibaut Courtois, failing to deliver the expected championships, it seems the younger generation of the Belgian national team is also not showing much improvement. Despite having players like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Thibaut Courtois to lead the charge, the attack, apart from Jeremy Doku's standout presence on the left wing, still relies heavily on Romelu Lukaku, who is 33 years old and has only recently returned from injury.

Clearly, apart from Thibaut Courtois, who is still performing well, the combination of veteran players from the golden generation and the rising young players of the Belgian national team seems to be failing to produce any promising results, except for inexperienced mistakes, such as the red card of defender Nathan Ngoy. And what remains for the fans is undoubtedly just a sense of helplessness in finding a way to score against the opponent's goal.

If Belgium continues to play like this, relying only on passes from a past-his-prime Kevin De Bruyne and shots from a sluggish Romelu Lukaku, it's clear they'll struggle to go far in the 2026 World Cup. Their chances of progressing are still there; the real question is what happens after that, and even they have little certainty about that.
