Belgium and Canada match broadcast live: The Europeans will face North America in Group F of the Qatar 2022 World Cup

Belgium vs Canada is the first meeting the two teams will face at the FIFA World Cup. Prior to that, they had only had a friendly in Ottawa in 33 years. Belgium’s Eden Hazard and Canadian Alphonso Davies will lead their teams in search of their first World Cup victory.

Canada is back in the World Cup finals after 36 years, and hasn’t been a part of the action since Mexico 1986, where Argentina won the World Cup with the great Diego Maradona. On that occasion they lost all three matches without scoring against France (0-1), Hungary (0-2) and the Soviet Union (0-2).

The English team, John Herdman, dreams of improving this performance with a physically strong and very enthusiastic formation, as Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies, who is in doubt due to a muscle injury.

Virtues of the Red Devils

Belgium is a European powerhouse with outstanding players, especially top scorer Romelu Lukaku, from Inter Italy, who will not play tomorrow due to a muscle injury, with a sensitive loss because he is the all-time top scorer for the Belgians with 68 goals.

Spanish coach Roberto Martinez has doubts about the powerful striker until the second match of the 27th against Morocco and is pleased to be able to use him in the third appointment against Croatia, on the 1st of December.

But Belgium is not limited to Lukaku, the “brain” of the team is the wonderful Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), a man who can do the illogical and open any difficult match, he has the best goalkeeper in the world along with Thibaut Courtois. (Real Madrid) And another talented, he was punished with injuries like Eden Hazard (Real Madrid).
