Despite the loss of Emile Mpenza, Waseige remains happy with the players at his disposal in attack.
Wesley Sonck has emerged at just the right time, Branco Strupar is back and there is possibility of using Wilmots and Gert Verheyen up front.
In midfield, the coach wants players such as Johan Walem and Sven Vermant to impose themselves.
"We've got good options in attack," Waseige said. "Previously we have been short of forwards - now we have several.
"The midfield is fine, although we don't have a genuine number 10. But who does? Look at Manchester United, for example.
"We have several creative players but they will have to prove themselves on a regular basis."
It is at the back that Waseige sees the need for rebuilding in the future.
"In defence we are perhaps lacking some mobility. (Daniel) Van Buyten is a young player of great potential but he's not yet the finished article.
"Some of the others are over 30 so they will have to reconstruct the team there somewhat."
Waseige is adamant that this is not the right time to blood youngsters. There were strong calls from ex-players such as Marc Degryse to bring in Racing Genk's Koen Daerden from the Under-21 squad.
"The World Cup is important. It's not the time to prepare the team for the next tournament," Waseiege responds.
"We're not strong enough for that. If we didn't have enough good players who deserved to be in the squad, then I would give priority to younger players.
"It annoys me when people say that we should use the World Cup to prepare primarily for the next one, after we've fought like dogs to make it to the finals."
On his playing principles, Waseige stresses his beliefs in continuity and stability.
"Above all a national coach needs to develop a way of playing that is consistent. Since I've been in charge, we've always played 4-4-2, in a flexible way.
"Within that basic shape, you need players who are complementary - within the centre of defence for example. Above all I believe in stability.
"Players need to know that they can afford to have a poor game. Everyone can have a lapse. That increases their confidence."
Perhaps it is because of this confidence, but an air of serenity certainly surrounding the Belgium squad.
Japan on Tuesday cannot come quickly enough.
