Lammens' Mistake Ends Belgium's Run | MLS News

Belgium’s World Cup dreams ended in heartbreak as Spain stunned them in the quarters, thanks to a costly error by rookie goalkeeper Senne Lammens — stepping in for injured star Thibaut Courtois — who couldn’t handle a shot from Pau Cubarsí, letting Mikel Merino score the winner. Courtois, sidelined with a quad injury, offered emotional support, hugging Lammens and acknowledging the immense pressure on goalkeepers in such moments. While Lammens has thrived at the club level, this high-stakes mistake raises questions about Courtois’ future with the national team — already dealing with injuries and nearing the end of his career. He’s considering stepping away from international duty to focus on club football, potentially paving the way for Lammens to become Belgium’s new No. 1. The federation and coach will weigh his fitness and role, but with Lammens backed by teammates and the team’s future in mind, Belgium must now adapt and rebuild for what’s next.
