Belgium's Euro 2024 Woes Deepen After Slovakia Defeat

Tedesco's Men Falter in Opener

Stunning Loss Raises Concerns

Belgium's hopes of a successful Euro 2024 campaign suffered a major setback with a shock 2-0 defeat to Slovakia in their opening group match. Manager Domenico Tedesco's side was widely expected to secure a comfortable victory, but they were outplayed and outclassed by a determined Slovakian team.

The loss is a major blow to Belgium's chances of qualifying for the knockout stages. They now face an uphill battle to finish in the top two in their group, with games against Italy and Russia still to come.

Tedesco will be under increased pressure to turn things around after this disappointing start. He has yet to find the right balance in his team, and their defensive frailties were exposed by Slovakia's incisive attacking play.

Belgium will need to regroup quickly and rediscover their form if they are to have any chance of challenging for the Euro 2024 title. Their next match is against Italy on Saturday, and a defeat in that game will all but end their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
