To be fair to Belgium, they have some quality young players emerging as well. There are De Keteleare and Saelemeakers from Milan and Onana from Everton - all young and highly rated. Faez from Leicester as well.

Belgium still has a core of elite players playing on top of their game - they are near the top of my list of favorites to win. Croatia is good - I fancy our chances - but we'll be more of a dark horse than a serious contender.

Yeah, Belgium does have a pretty decent squad, and I'm sure they'll end up going to the next stage. But actually winning the world cup?, I don't think so. There are way too many better teams. Belgium would have to be extremely lucky a couple of times to actually win the tournament. But hey, you never know with football...

I think similarly to you.
Belgium is a good and experienced national team and I am almost certain that they will qualify for the knockout phase of the World Championship.
What happens after that and how far Belgium can go in the competition will also depend on the draw, opponents and luck.
However, I don't see them as one of the favorites for the World Cup and I don't think they will repeat the success of Russia, when they were third in the world.
