Koen Casteels should start. The guy is amazing for Wolfsburg
Belgium are in danger with how much chances they concede there will be no one to save them
To say that you refuse to represent your country because you're beefing with the manager shows that he has no shame
In all honesty he was really still unfit. He got really lucky when Carvajal saved the goal from Adeyemi and Fullkrug somehow pinballed the ball.
A clean sheet is a clean sheet but we really can see he is not there yet
Looks Belgium will become the new Netherlands. The team that came close, but could never cross the line. 😮
Courtois always been a headache. At Chelsea and with Belgium especially.
Belguim has also koen casteels, former wolfsburg goalkeeper
de gea should have been real Madrid keeper
Will there be any genuine football related videos on this channel? Or your plan is to do a short summary of every athletic post?
No respect to anyone who sees playing for club better than playing for national team, including Ben White. Also Lukaku is Belgium's highest goalscorer of all time with 73 goals. Nobody should have a problem with him as a captain.
Stole his girl, then tried to steal his captaincy, man Cortouis’ vendetta against DeBruyne is MASSIVE 😂
Then they wonder why Belgium's "golden generation" didn't win sh*t. These fights and bickering among their best players is why
First off
No I'm not ahting on courtois cause I'm a barca fan
Second off
Does he just not have any dignity
I could understand the reason why he isn't going to the Euros but I don't believe him when he says that the manager didn't try to do anything
don't forget they still have Koen Casteels and Thomas Kaminski
I think even ukraine can beat em…not sure about romania,but we will see…its sad to see it,but half the team are in retirement phase
neuer is the best
Courtois has always been a difficult man child and Belgium has managed without him as well. Managing to almost win against England before a late extra time goal from Bellingham making it 2-2
Casteels can go
Reminds me of the 1998 World Cup when Argentina coach Passarella had a problem with Fernando Redondo and he didn't play because of it. Unfortunate
Neuer isn't going to the Euros?
Because the top three keepers play for Brazil and Argentina
If Courtois wasn't one of the best goalkeeper in the world, he would be such a problem. What an ego 😂
I am suprised that kdb and curtoise drama didn't come up i thought that was the reason that curtoise is not playing and i bet Many other people to
Casteels will start
That's why belgium didin't win anything with the golden generation
Koen casteels will be the nr1 for belgium
Worst save in prem got me 😂😅
Dear channel Owner! I’ve seen your productivity lately, and we really like what you make day to day!🙏🏼
Could you write your email address due to business inquiry?
Looking forward to your answer!
All the best, Oliver.
Leaving because your not given the captain arm band just proves you don't deserve it , someone with real captain qualities would not abandon his team , and would not need an arm band to be a leader .
Courtois' reputation is still riding on the 21/22 ucl final. Not even the best goalkeeper in laliga the year after that
Meanwhile Southgate brings a not fit Shaw to Euro.
As a Romanian Yipeee but They still have Casteels so not Yipeee
they could use casteel
Sels won't be starting. More Athletic errors.
You're on fraud watch Courtois!
Why not casteels
Kevin punching air rn 😂
He was injured, no need to stretch that into a shitty video
Casteels is going to be the startibg keeper
yeah but every Belguim GK is way better then PICKford. Pickford would not even make it to list in the Belguim squad
