The Red Devils can continue working towards the World Cup, but it is better to be careful not to underestimate. Only now have all opponents from the group stage been announced.
It had been known for some time that the Belgians would play against Slovakia and Romania. The last spot in the Devils’ group remained open until Tuesday evening. Ukraine grabbed the last ticket for that group by defeating Iceland in a play-off (1-2).
Is Ukraine now also our most difficult opponent in the first round? “In principle, yes,” Franky van der Elst agrees Shotcast On. “They should always have been there at the World Cup, because they were better than Wales. I had to follow that match for Eleven DAZN then.”
No excuses for Red Devils
Although the Ukrainian playing style may suit the Belgians. “That is also a team that always wants to play football.” In any case, there are no excuses, even if Ukraine is a bit better than the other countries that Belgium meets in group E.
“Normally the group stage should not be a problem,” Van der Elst also emphasizes. Belgium will play against Ukraine on June 26, on the third and final matchday of the group stage.
