World Cup 2026 Preview

Kevin De Bruyne enters what is likely his final World Cup as Belgium's all-time greatest midfielder. At 35, the Manchester City maestro has nothing left to prove at club level, with multiple Premier League titles and a Champions League winner's medal. His extraordinary passing range, vision, and ability to deliver match-winning moments make him Belgium's most important player. After the golden generation's disappointing group-stage exit in 2022, De Bruyne will be desperate to lead Belgium on a deeper run. Injuries have limited his availability in recent seasons, but when fit, he remains one of the most creative forces in football. Belgium's campaign will likely hinge on De Bruyne's ability to stay healthy and produce the kind of performances that have defined his career. The tournament offers a final chance for redemption after the heartbreak of recent years.
