Three crosses Friday
Raskin generated three crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Friday's 2-1 loss versus Spain.
Analysis: Raskin tried his best to keep Belgium in the game from his holding midfielder role and did well with a tackle won, two intercpetions and four clearances, although it was not enough to get the win. He would also add three crosses in the attack, not seeing much more work in the advanced parts of the pitch. He ends the World Cup with three starts in six appearances, notching no goals on two shots but earning two assists on four chances created, with most of his work coming in the holding part of the field.
Sets up teammate versus USA
Raskin assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four tackles (three won) and two chances created in Monday's 4-1 win against USA.
Analysis: Raskin drew his second start in the competition, as he got the call over Kevin De Bruyne, was highly energetic and mostly contributed defensively, but he also teed up Charles De Ketelaere with a square ball, recording his second assist in the competition. He has posted at least one tackle in all five tilts despite his seesawing minutes, racking up nine (four won) and posting also four chances created, four crosses (three accurate) and two shots (two on target). This marked his third appearance in a row with at least one clearance, for a total of six.
