Despite a poor start to the World Cup<\/a>, the goal for Belgium is clear. Defeat New Zealand and they’re through to the knockouts at worst as the second-placed team in Group G. Depending on how Egypt versus Iran goes, they could also win the group, but nothing has come easy to the Red Devils during this tournament. Part of that is due to still being reliant on striker Romelu Lukaku who has played more minutes for Belgium this year than Napoli, but they were also missing their sparkplug for their draw with Iran.<\/p>\n

You may think, ” Oh, but Kevin De Bruyne played in that match,’ and that’s true, but while he’s still important to this side, they’ll go as far as Jermey Doku can take them at the World Cup. His direct nature on the dribble draws so much attention from defenders, and it’s something that gives the rest of the team more space to work with. Doku departed camp for the birth of his son, but now he’s back and available against a New Zealand side that will allow space. Belgium can unleash Operation Let Doku Cook.<\/p>\n

Sure, Belgium is a flawed side who probably won’t win the World Cup, but at their best, this is still a side who can run up the score, and if a must-win match can’t bring it out of them, nothing will. New Zealand have shown improvement as a soccer nation that has been rewarded during this World Cup, but if Belgium comes out as they should, it’ll only go one way.<\/p>\n
