Belgium
The 'golden generation' Belgium that reached the 2018 semi-finals has given way to a new squad with De Bruyne still pulling the strings brilliantly. Lukaku remains a formidable physical presence despite turbulent club career periods. Belgium have consistently exceeded expectations at major tournaments — Tedesco has maintained that culture.

Tactical Blueprint
An organised 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1 built around De Bruyne's creative brilliance. Lukaku's hold-up play and aerial presence creates space for late-arriving midfielders. Defensive organisation has improved significantly under Tedesco.
