Belgium can no longer play like they used to play. Their defeat to Morocco was another reminder that the generation of players that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup four years ago are nearing the end of the road. They were disjointed going forward, with Batshuayi and Lukaku ineffective in attack and no inspiration from the midfield or the defense. I don’t know what is going to happen for qualify to the next round but if Morocco get a draw against Canada, and if Belgium cannot defeat Croatia, then they’ll have to kiss the tournament Goodbye.
Unfortunately the "golden generation" type of thing turned out to be not so golden after all. Belgium is good and all in the football world they have a place but that doesn't mean that they are that great anymore, they are showing signs of regression and I am expecting that they will probably stay like this for a while longer.
They need a better generation that is controlled or managed by a better coach as well. So far they have tried their best with this De Bruyne Lukaku generation but unfortunately nothing came out of it. I am not saying they should go for a world cup title, but at least not be as bad as losing to Morocco, they need to be a lot better.
Belgium really played badly from the start of their match against Canada, I didn't understand and failed to understand Roberto Martinez. he barely made any changes, when his team played at a very underperform. win over Canada is pure luck, then lose over Marocco. I really fail to understand, for the coach of this Belgian squad. in terms of team strength, Belgium actually deserves to advance to the next round. moreover, they have a FIFA rating of 2. however, they almost didn't show their best game.
In this F group, only Canada has been confirmed not to qualify for the next round. Marocco, Belgium and Croatia still have a big chance to qualify for the next round. however, the question. Can Belgium beat Croatia, where Croatia is better than its pattern of play. it even seems that Croatia will qualify for the next round.
