Belgium Backed to Silence Critics vs Senegal

Published July 1, 2026 · Updated July 1, 2026 · The Guardian

Belgium's national team, fresh from a 5-1 victory over New Zealand, face Senegal in the last 32 with coach Rudi Garcia determined to disprove the 'has beens' criticism.

Belgium secured top spot in Group G with their commanding win over New Zealand, setting up a last-32 clash against Senegal. Coach Rudi Garcia was clearly irritated by recent criticism, particularly an article in La Libre newspaper that compared Kevin De Bruyne to a washed-up Hollywood actor after his performance against Iran.

'I really didn't appreciate them being called has beens,' Garcia stated firmly at a post-match press conference, emphasizing the team's determination to prove their doubters wrong in their upcoming match against Senegal. likesport.biz
