The following two World Cups didn’t bring anything for Belgium either, except losses against France and Nazi Germany.Having withdrawn in qualification for the 1950 tournament, Belgium made a return in Switzerland four years later. A notable highlight was their spectacular 4-4 draw against England, but the 4-1 loss to Italy sent the Red Devils home....
In 1970, Belgium didn’t aim to remain “World Champion of the Friendlies”, but actual world champions, as they finally returned to football’s greatest stage in Mexico. Here, the Belgians finally won a World Cup match – 3-0 against El Salvador. It was a historic win. Still, the cup was a disappointment as they had to exit after losing their subsequen...
Next came the 1986 World Cup, again held in Mexico, and again Belgium lost against the Mexicans. To reach the tournament, Belgium narrowly eclipsed their arch-rivals the Netherlands in a high-stake play-off. Goals from François Vercauteren and Georges Grün made sure the Red Devils advanced on away goals. A form of poetic justice, as the Dutch had n...
Igor Belanov gave the Soviets the lead in the 27th minute with a great strike. Enzo Scifo equalized early in the second half, only for Belanov to score once again in the 70th minute. However, only seven minutes passed until Jan Ceulemans made it 2-2. The remainder of normal time failed to produce a winner. During extra time, Belgium made it both 3-...
Belgium earned a spot at Italia ‘90, where they were pretty successful yet again, earning wins against South Korea and Uruguay, albeit losing to Spain.

The 1994 World Cup wa...
This marked the end of Belgium’s streak, and the Red Devils didn’t qualify for a single major tournament until the 2014 World Cup. But when they did, they came there as one of the contenders, or at least one of the primary dark horses. By now, Belgium’s second golden generation had started emerging, with several players playing for top clubs across...
Belgium’s golden generation showed no signs of decline in 2018 World Cup qualifying where they won all matches but one. The Belgians once again arrived at a major tournament as one of the top contenders, a label they proved to be warranted by convincingly winning all of their group matches. However, Belgium wasn’t as convincing in the round of 16 a...
Belgium do have some young prospects with bright futures, and they seem to have become more of a talent factory rather than a country that has a golden generation every 30 to 40 years. Still, with their best players ageing, it’s only a matter of time before they start declining. Qatar 2022 is likely the last chance for Belgium’s second golden gener...
