I've written, maybe not goals from Belgium, because it turns out they're another team who cannot score a goal.
Going back to Qatar 2022, they have had 46 shots without scoring a single goal, because the one goal that they did get, the equaliser against Egypt, was an own goal.
Ah, Mishi Batshuayi.
The first game, Belgium's game against Egypt, they looked a lot better when Romelu Lukaku came on and indeed provoked that own goal.
And you imagine that they might start with him instead of Di Cattolari in a false nine.
Yeah, he won't be in the starting 11 because he's got a respiratory problem that has resurfaced.
So he won't be there for that.
Shame for Belgium.
On to Group H briefly.
This sees Spain taking on Saudi Arabia and Uruguay against Cape Verde.
Spain...
who in their opening game were, of course, frustrated by Cape Verde's Vosinia.
We mentioned how his Instagram following has absolutely skyrocketed.
Could Spain be frustrated by another choice keeper?
Because while Vosinia, I think, made seven saves against Spain in the opening game, the keeper that they're about to face, Mohamed Al-Alwais, made nine saves against Uruguay.
These numbers seemed impressive when I wrote them down, but that was before that incredible performance from Eli Ruhm.
Okay, I was going to ask you, will Yazabel get a touch in the first half hour?
We're hoping, yeah.
Otherwise, he may as well go home, really.
So Spain to get the win against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay against Cape Verde?
