Group F 2022 FIFA World Cup Review: Belgium Knocked Out in Group Stages!

Group F 2022 FIFA World Cup Review: Belgium Knocked Out in Group Stages! The Red Devils are on their way home after last night.

Belgium played out to a 0-0 draw against Croatia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup last night. This means that they have been eliminated from the competition in its infancy.

Croatia 0:0 Belgium – Group F

Going into this encounter, the permutations were pretty simple for both teams; Belgium needed all three points to qualify, while Croatia only needed a draw to secure their place in the next round.

In the end, the scoreless draw was enough to the beaten finalists of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. However, the Belgian Red Devils created more than enough to score at least one goal.

Striker Romelu Lukaku will probably not ever live down this match, and he will always have sleepless nights about it. After coming on as a substitute, he missed four clear cut chances, which ultimately lead to their elimination.

“It’s not easy to win games in the World Cup,” Belgian coach Roberto Martinez spoke.

“We weren’t ourselves in the first game and had a deserved defeat in the second game. Today we were ready, we created opportunities and today there are no regrets.

“We’re out but we can leave with our heads held high. You see Youri Tielemans and other young players – the golden generation is doing something that is bringing the next generation on.

“It’s not which names are on the pitch; the legacy can be left in many ways.” The coach added.

Martinez immediately left his post as Belgium head coach after the game. He oversaw three major tournaments for the Red Devils.
