Thibaut Courtois reveals he wanted to PLAY ON before being subbed off for Lammens who lost Belgium World Cup match

Thibaut Courtois was so determined to continue playing in Belgium's crucial World Cup match against Spain that he wanted to stay on the field despite his apparent injury. The Belgian goalkeeper was subbed off for Simon Lammens in the 71st minute, which some believe may have impacted Belgium's performance in the final moments of the game. The emotional substitution highlighted the tough choices faced by the coaching staff, as Courtois's injury seemed to worsen, ultimately leading to Lammens's on-field debut. This incident underscores the delicate balance between player health and team strategy in high-stakes matches.
