Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia says his team, cast as underdogs, can “give Spain a run for their money” in Friday’s World Cup quarter-final. Garcia points to Belgium’s attacking quality and their belief going into the match, despite Spain entering the tournament as one of the favourites. According to the reporting, Spain began the competition slowly but later found form, including a 3–0 win over Austria, which helped restore confidence in their performances. The articles frame the meeting as a contest between Spain’s status as European champions and Belgium’s willingness to embrace the underdog role. Both sources focus on Garcia’s assessment of Belgium’s prospects and underline that Belgium’s attacking options and mindset are central to their attempt to upset Spain. The coverage also reflects the broader tournament context: Spain’s improvement after an initial period of inconsistency, and Belgium’s readiness to compete against a higher-ranked opponent at the quarter-final stage.
