And Jeremy Doku is in there and Amadou Onana is in there.

But aside from that, I really struggle to name Belgian players who are of the quality and of the level to get that team on a deep run.

So I'm curious to see how they do against an Iran side that just logistically is facing all sorts of hurdles that nobody else seems to have to deal with.

Axel Witsel is in the Belgian squad for this World Cup.

He's 37 years old and he has 138 caps.

He plays for Girona now, apparently.

This is The Guardian.

There was a poll conducted a month ahead of the 1994 World Cup, which was the last one that was held here.

And it found that 80% of Americans at that time didn't know what the World Cup was or that it was going to be on their doorstep.

So if we take a comparison, we are miles ahead of there where at least people know what it is.

But there is a lot of other programming on.

The NHL playoffs are going on.

The NBA playoffs are going on.

Baseball season is going on.

So it's just not something people are really thinking about as much with a few weeks to go, which is sort of as you would expect this time before World Cup.

But you see little snippets of it left and right.

You walk into stores or businesses that are sponsors and you'll see World Cup signage and stuff like that.

So it's starting to creep into daily life very slowly.

you don't know specifically with the us exactly how mid-world cup he might make a decision on something feels like every world cup introduces its own set of issues right and i can't remember that this is going to be my fourth world cup i don't remember a single one where there wasn't some kind of problem and some kind of hand-wringing that was happening

ahead of kickoff and you're right then usually once the the football starts to happen we kind of forget about everything and and we watch all the pretty soccer and and we move on it feels like this world cup is inventing entirely new categories of issues that were previously unknown to man and there's just so many variables this time around and there's so little consistency from day to day
