According to the keeper, the Belgian team has faced a lack of respect from both the American public and the media in recent days.
Courtois said:
“In recent days here in the US, we've been shown a lack of respect. People said we could be beaten easily, but I think today we proved that we're a good team.”
For Belgium, this win was not just an important result, but also a powerful response to all the pre-match talk and the ongoing Balogun controversy.
Reminder: Belgium national team leader ruled out of the World Cup due to injury.
