Tonight, the World Cup Group F is back in action as Belgium, the last third-place finisher, starts a fierce battle with Canada. The Belgian team has a number of "golden generation" players such as Chieuwendi Bunyi, but the defense line is aging badly, and they can only rely on the attack to make up for the deficiency of the defense. Canada is back in the final week after 36 years, and the skipper Bootman vowed to refuse to set up a bucket formation, with the intention of suppressing the opponent with offense. 2.5 goals is a great deal not to be missed. (Now 618 and 616 live at 3 a.m. Thursday)
Belgium made it to the last 8 and last 4 of the last two World Cups, but they have not been able to win the title. The problem of aging defense is becoming more and more prominent. Since the retirement of Giovanni and Valmeren, the manager Martinez is still relying on the veterans Wittenheim and Edouard Villette, which is a controversial strategy. In their last warm-up match against Egypt, Aida Willett led newcomers Dibas and Efafiadi, but the lack of understanding and positional sense resulted in an unexpected 1-2 defeat. In this game, Martinez may again use the "two old" with Dandanska, but the two veterans are in decline, slow to return to the defense, Martinez's predicament is obvious.
Given the difficulty in solving the defense problem in a short period of time, the team can only choose to attack. Although the "Beast" Lukaku missed the first two rounds of the game due to injury, Batshuayi's unstable form, but the newly promoted striker Obinda performance is remarkable, on behalf of the "European Red Devils" in 5 games has scored 2 goals. The core of the midfield, Chiyun Dibni, has played well and has contributed 9 assists in the EPL this season, while midfielders Terry Vince and Lee Ando Dushyat are in good shape, so there is no worry on the attacking end.
The Canadians refused to die.
Meanwhile, Canada is not only returning to the World Cup final week after 36 years, but is also one of the hosts of the next World Cup. In an effort to keep his signature, manager Bootman has made it clear that he will not be putting up a gridiron formation. Although Bayern wing Alphonsus Davies may miss the game, Jonathan David and Schriner will take up the attacking role, with a total of 11 goals outside of the World Cup, and Jonathan David also has 9 goals in Ligue 1. Canada has scored at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches, including a 2-1 reversal against Japan in their last warm-up match, so their strength is not to be underestimated, so I'm looking for a 2.5 goal over/under.
