Belgium's journey to the 2026 World Cup hasn't been without its challenges. Despite being a favorite in Group J, they faced unexpected difficulties, including a draw against Kazakhstan. The absence of key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku due to injury added pressure to the team. However, their victory against Liechtenstein demonstrated their ability to perform when it matters most.
Liechtenstein, on the other hand, struggled throughout the qualifying campaign, failing to win a single match and not scoring any goals. Their 6-0 defeat against Belgium earlier in the campaign highlighted the disparity between the two teams.
With this win, Belgium can now focus on preparing for the World Cup, where they aim to improve on their semi-final appearance in 2018. Qualifying directly also ensures they avoid tougher opponents in the group stage draw. This is a strategic advantage, enabling them to potentially have an easier path to the knockout stages.
