Rudi Garcia: 'They've written us off, but we'll surprise Spain'

Belgium boss Rudi Garcia has hit back at suggestions his side have no chance ahead of their World Cup 2026 quarterfinal clash with Spain. Speaking to RMC, Garcia said: «Spain are one of the biggest favourites for the title. They haven’t conceded a single goal in this tournament and are a very cohesive unit. We’ll do everything we can to put one past them.» The French coach made it clear his team won’t just sit back: «If we only try to hold on, we’re heading home anyway. People already see us as beaten, but we’re going to show what we’ve got.» Spain and Belgium meet tonight, July 10, with kick-off scheduled for 22:00 local time.
