\nBelgium is facing growing pressure in the 2026 FIFA World Cup after drawing against Egypt and Iran in their opening two group-stage matches.<\/p>\n

The results have left the Belgian national team in a difficult position, with qualification now heavily dependent on their upcoming match against New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Belgium must secure a win to keep its World Cup hopes alive, as criticism from media and fans continues to intensify over the team\u2019s underwhelming performances.<\/p>\n

Courtois Emerges as Belgium\u2019s Bright Spot<\/h2>\n

Despite Belgium\u2019s disappointing overall displays, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has stood out as the team\u2019s strongest performer.<\/p>\n

Several reports described Courtois as the \u201conly survivor\u201d from the wave of criticism, thanks to his strong performances and crucial saves.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, many of Belgium\u2019s star players have faced intense criticism, particularly captain Kevin De Bruyne, whose impact in the tournament has fallen below expectations.<\/p>\n

De Bruyne and Lukaku Face Growing Criticism<\/h2>\n

Belgian fans, analysts, and former players have heavily criticized Kevin De Bruyne for his lack of attacking influence and inability to lead the team in key moments.<\/p>\n

Romelu Lukaku has also come under pressure, with growing calls for both stars to step up in Belgium\u2019s decisive clash against New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Against Iran, De Bruyne came close to scoring when his shot hit the post, in a match where Belgium controlled possession but struggled to convert chances.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s performance has widely been labeled disappointing, increasing frustration among supporters.<\/p>\n

Despite the negative atmosphere, Belgium received a positive boost with Jeremy Doku returning to the squad and expected to be available for the crucial match against New Zealand, a game that could define Belgium\u2019s World Cup future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
