As a Belgian and football fan it s clearly that the ego of Courtois created this situation. If the Belgium fans are not making any noise about Courtois, the number 1 keeper of the world, not playing that tell s you everything you need to know.
he is literally the best Belgium player and has been for years. So he can have an ego, so silly and you guys are already struggling in the group stage.
@Electricc__ ask the Belgian players, none seems to miss Courtois. Especially KDB must be very happy Courtois and his jealousy isn't there. Even Martinez said recently, Courtois already caused some issues in the team before. We aren't struggling in Germany. We had bad luck and we even helped Slovakia to score a goal. For the rest, in such a group, we had to test some things and yes, it wasn't a great success. But if we play 10 games against that team again, we win 75% of the time, with a decent referee of course. Everything is going perfectly. Trossard out the starting 11 and everything is gonna be just fine.
@@_sky_blue_ We must've watched a different game then, unlucky yes. But out of all the big countries Croatia, Portugal, England, Spain, France, Germany...none of them looked as worse as you lot and they played better teams. The team can not miss him all they want, the fact is that you won't see success without him
Really think that's why they'll let him out da squad 🤣 bro proved himself in one game to start that final after being out for the WHOLE season, is aight tho Belgium wernt even real contenders 😂 I honestly don't even see them beating Croatia in a official game or friendly
Courtois left his team. Didn't want to fix things afterwards and announced himself months ago he wouldn't play the Euros. He might have been a great asset for Belgium but probably would have ruined the dressing room. Casteels will do a fine job, still without the Big Saves probably. We'll end in the quarter finals anyway
@@janiriikonen7427 We'll see (depends who we'll meet in the round of 16 of course). Everybody knows he can be a game winner but at this moment he would have been a tournament loser. Anyway, it was his stubborn decision...
Belgium's golden generation came and went. they're not getting anywhere near the final, even if they had Courtois. and Casteels is actually a decent goalkeeper so i don't think that's going to be their problem anyways. their defense is below average and Lukaku up front will surely go missing when they need him.
I do see Lukaku destroying Romania Slovakia and Ukraine though. Because Lukaku is a typical flat track bully on the field. But that's as good as it gets. Once they reach the knockouts, they won't be able to handle even countries like Denmark's defence.
They still have de bruyne, good midfielders like onana tielemans mangala and a strong attacck Lukaku openda doku trossard bakayoko lukebakio charles de keteleare
@@robertmarginean164 because in Real Madrid there's no excuses no one is bigger than the club if you start to act different and start fighting with everyone papa Perez will replace in 1 day just the way he replaced Pepe
Being surrounded by agents and other sycophants and not having people around to keep him grounded. At Madrid everyone has a huge ego and is a star so strong management is required to keep them all in check and if they step out of line they will be gone in the next window. No room for passengers at Madrid.
true, KDB finally will shine without the likes of Courtois and Hazard lover Martinez who would rather run a revalidation centre than a national team that's fully fit.
At the end of the day you have to respect the coaches and club’s decisions …the keeper should focus on goal keeping and thats it … no matter whoes the captain… if its one thing the keeper is ALWAYS allowed to do his captain his back 4 or back 3 infront of him…. Not saying belguim would win the euro if he was the goalkeeper but he definitely letting them down
Koen Casteels is underrated in my oppinion. He will do just fine, Thibaut isnt a big loss for Belgium to be fair. Lukaku would be a huge loss compared to Thibaut and that is facts
So what? If I was the coach of Argentina and Messi posted somrthing about me being an idiot, I would still take him to the Copa America and start him every single game. My duty as manager is to the football federation, and ultimately, to that country as a whole. Leaving Messi at home would hamper the team's chances, which are much more important than my personal feelings. Same with Courtois.
Manager and Player : Which one is being paid to resolve off-field and personality issues? Last time I checked it was not the player. So Shaka is 100% wrong. His almost violent reaction to the whole thing is what gets managers into this mess... a stubborn streak. From the fans reaction it seems like they don't miss Courtois - but that is because they know they don't stand a chance of winning the Euros... if they were one of the 3 best teams then they would definitely want a difference maker for that instance where it matters. That is why Courtois was selected ahead of Lunin in the CL final for Madrid - that additional advantage. Anyway, if the Belgium football federation does not care - why should we?
The goalkeeper naturally has an authoritative role when defending against setpieces, organizing the backline, setting the pace and direction of buildup, and so on. All he has to do is holler a player's name and point to where he wants them to go. If that player is the captain, he will still do as he is told. So I really don't see how giving the captaincy to the goalkeeper serves any practical purpose on your own half, and puts you at a disadvantage on the opponents half. Moreover, with the introduction of the new policy wherein players can only communicate their grievances with/to the ref via the captain, giving the captaincy to the goalkeeper effectively stifles any communication and/or conflict resolution. But if you are a goalkeeper who has such an inflated ego that it has become fragile to the point where representing your country is less important to you than having a special armband that shows to everyone that you are very special and everyone should look up to you, if there is no practical reason for it then your only option is to create one. Give the manager an ultimatum; give me the special boy armband, or I never want to see you again and you cant come to my birthday party. Fucking pathetic
a good one Robert! Courtois was angry at Tedesco for not telling a lie that he was so called 'injured'. We don't need baby's in our team. Belgium always had good goalkeepers and Casteels is way better than Pickford... just saying.
Since he's above 30 years, he's now eligible to join the underground council in the new basement under Bernabeu to discuss how they'll pay refs next season
It has happened before in football. If you have a shitty personality and you’re so f* arrogant that you can’t treat people around you fairly, it will start to show. The same happened to Mauro Icardi and the same is happening to Maguire right now. Being a horrible person does have it set backs…
Possible he does not want to aggravate or injure himself in Euro's as he prepares for the next season of La Liga and Champions League 24/25 season. It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Modric, Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Arrizabalaga, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Guler. Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027. Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Dean Huijsen Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Wan-Bissaka, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, Livramento, Terracciano, Bradley, Sanchez, Lewis, Fresneda, Gray, & Lima.
its not about having the best Players, its about having the best Team!!!! and if your Goalie sleeps with another players Girl you need to make a Choice!!! Tedesco made the right decision

Courtois is a great goalkeeper. But he cannot be bigger than the team. The manager now has to work with what he has. So be it.
If it were Jose...he'll be to blame regardless of walking out or not
In as much as I love courtoir he is big headed guy ,however Belgium need him to do well in euros
Big ego and seems unagreeable. The other players probably don't mind him not being there
Congratulations on being foolish
Courtois seems to be having issues with everyone, his arrogance I don't know he got it from
I don't know about that, it seems to me that the entire Real Madrid team, coaching staff, and club management has a good relationship with him
