And that's possibly where Rudy Garcia has learned as the tournaments continued, what he thinks are his best XI players and what's actually the best team that he needs to put out there.

But

the US were never really that threatening to Belgium.

I do think one big thing is the defender in Goy, he just had the pace to sort of deal with Balogun.

So a lot of the time when the US were trying to put those balls into the channels for him to chase, they were just getting cut out.

So Balogun didn't really pose that much of a threat.

I've already spoken about this over-reliance on Tillman.

So Belgium was sort of able to keep them quite comfortably at arm's length.

And the moment where...

The game should have changed as Tillman's free kick, which goes in off Vatican.

That was the moment where the US needed to settle down.

And when the Ketelair scores 90 seconds later, I was watching it live at the time, I went, oh, that's game over.

It was just too much of a psychological blow to come back from that.

And we should also give Belgium a little bit of praise because they lost Donana and David Ornstein's reported this morning that he's done his ACL.

Vatican comes in.

You know, the goal deflects off him for Tilman's free kick, but then he gets that bizarre third goal.

But also fair play to Belgium for responding to losing Onana in such a positive way.

But yeah, I've definitely been impressed with how Belgium have, having come so close to being eliminated in the previous round, have sort of tweaked a few things and come up with a better solution.

I'm glad you said this because I need to check something because I don't think they developed Tillman either because Tillman was born in Germany and spent the majority of his youth career with Greuther Firth before joining Bayern Munich when he was maybe 13 or 14.

So arguably two of their best three players.
