“How can we consider that there is a pool of 51 players who are being observed?”
Philippe Moureau is of the same opinion and believes that, even if the absentees were very numerous, the talent is less present than before in our selection which has been expanded too much in recent years given the number of different players who have put on the Devils jersey . “We have to face the facts that we have less talent. How can we consider that there is a pool of 51 players who are being observed? Doing trials is good, but we have to be careful not to not fall into an imbalance (between experience and young people) which necessarily generates a negative spiral…”

The debater Jean-Luc De Spiegeleer also does not believe in a presence of the Devils at the 2026 World Cup and he also mentions this talent problem within our national team in 2024 while remaining realistic. “There is an obvious lack of talent in this generation. Denying the obvious is of no use. They play “at least” two divisions lower than the previous generation, and the absentees are no better. We must stop playing them compare.

As for the debaters who believe that the Devils will go to the 2026 World Cup, Serge Laus is hopeful given the nations that could be in our path during the qualifiers. “Answer on December 13 but a priori yes, given the composition of the hats.

For Jean Fillée, Belgium will go to the 2026 World Cup if Domenico Tedesco is no longer at the helm. “With a new coach more competent than D. Tedesco, new perspectives will likely open up as well as the doors of the 2026 World Cup, provided that our Devils do not fall into a group of death in the draw… Let’s remain optimistic!”
