In a recent preparation game against Croatia (June 2), the Red Devils had 43% possession playing away in a 3-4-2-1 formation, and managed to win 2-0. Croatia had the upper hand in aerial duels, and Belgium took more shots from outside the box.... After failing to start a single game for Napoli in 2025-26, Romelu Lukaku marked his Belgium return with a goal in the warm-up match against Croatia.

Top Belgian contributers per Sofascore:

In attack, Belgium turned pressure into quality looks, winning touches in the box 18 to 12 and hitting four shots on target to Croatia’s one. Youri Tielemans was the standout with a Sofascore Rating of 8.3. The captain scored the opener, hit the target once more, created a big chance and completed 25 of 31 passes with two key passes. Amadou Onana anchored the Belgian build-up with 47 of 48 passes completed, five clearances, three interceptions and a last-man tackle, good for a 7.5. Arthur Theate’s 7.4 came with 55 of 57 passing and six clearances, a steady night on the left of the back three. Doku earned a 7.3 with two shots on target and five progressive carries that kept Croatia guessing. Lukaku only needed one shot to make his 7.3 count, steering home Vanaken’s pass at 90+6.

In case you don't know me, I designed this website's logo and am a long-time football fan.
I realize there's a lot of division among us. I'm here to propose an action that might unite us once again, for those who are planning to be at the stadium for Iran's games.

No matter what we think about the team, I think most of us don't approve of the regime and how it massacres our own people. FIFA may not allow fans to take in our flag of choice, but we can send a powerful message of resistance to the world by turning our backs to the IRI flag during the pre-game. Why I think this works:
1- It transcends language. We can sing "Ey Iran" but to everyone else it sounds like just another chant
2- This creates a powerful non-violent image or resistance that immediately grabs attention. There's no way to ignore or censor this (outside Iran)
3- Fifa can't do anything to stop this
4- At a time of bitter divisions, this unites us in a common action. It doesn't matter what you think about this team, or the war, or other things. Most of us hate this fucking flag.

We just need a critical mass of people attending the games to start the wave. A few people in each section is all that's needed to get others to join. So if you're going, or know someone who is, please consider sharing this poster or message with them.
