Courtois shakes up Belgium national team with huge announcement: ‘Not going to play any Nations League matches’

Comments

1. Talia: don't know what's behind this, but I'd love to see what the next few years hold for him, team-wise
2. Miladoyle: love how he's prioritizing his club form over international duty, but what really matters is when we get to see him dominate in the Champions League again 👊
3. Selim: thought for sure he'd ride the momentum from last year's defensive shift. guess that hype didn't transfer to his personal goals
4. Cleor: finally some honesty from Courtois about what he wants to prioritize, but what's the real reason behind this?
5. Kian: what a shock, courtois actually seems like he's being sincere about this
6. Felix: thought the entire point of being on the squad was actually playing, but hey prioritizing a move to the bench at Real is probably more stress-free for him
7. Zoe Holt: assuming this is about the 'targeting a potential return' he mentioned last week, wonder what's behind the change in plan
8. Vanta Serpent: figures, he wanted out of the squad last season after winning the World Cup
9. Neon Serpent: guess I'm surprised this is being framed as a "huge announcement" still, thought it was public knowledge he wasn't committing to the Nations League
10. Zero Rune: not sure what's holding him back, always thought he was solid
