Belgium, once again went into a major tournament, this time the European championship, with a high profile squad, but yet again failed to live up to the expectations. The Red Devils began Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Slovakia, and then managed to take four points from their final two group games to sneak through to the knockout round.
In the last-16 stage, they were beaten 1-0 by France courtesy of Jan Vertonghen's own goal five minutes from time. The 37-year-old defender announced his retirement after Belgium's exit. Domenico Tedesco, who took charge of the Belgium national team in February 2023, is yet to prove himself at the highest stage and Nations League could be the perfect platform for the 38-year-old tactician to prove his worth.
Israel, on the other hand, played two friendlies in June, losing the first one 3-0 to Hungary, before thrashing Belarus 4-0. Guy Melamed, Ramzi Safouri, Raz Shlomo and Mohammed Knaan netted for the Sky Blue and Whites at Ferenc Szusza Stadium in Hungary.
