    1. When infantimo leaves is there a chance the wc goes back to 32 teams ?
    2. Honestly, I feel like the Belgian Golden Generation didn’t really underperform, they were a bit unlucky with their match-ups. In both 2018 and 2026 they were knocked out by the eventual winners and gave them the best fight they got the whole tournament. Way better than their finals opponent.
    3. The more I think about it, the more of a horrendous decision it was to have the World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium
