After Belgium’s 2-0 loss to Morocco in the second group stage match of the ongoing FIFA World Cup, hopes of progressing to the next stage are now very slim. With their last game against Croatia, the runner-up of 2018, few believe one of the tournament’s most prolific favorites will make it through the group stage.
With several players looking depressed after the final whistle, Kevin De Bruyne joined the post-match conference, saying they didn’t deserve to win the game and played poorly. He also stated that Belgium has never been a favorite at the top of the group or to win the FIFA World Cup, as they have a very old squad.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois seems very angry and amused at these comments by the Belgian talisman and also mentioned that they have a great squad and are quite strong in challenging the best countries playing in the tournament. He said we don’t have an age problem. Real Madrid has Modrić and Benzema. It is very easy to make excuses.”

Added, “Of course no one is happy after a loss but that brings us closer because we know we have to give our all on the pitch on Thursday. We said things to each other and sometimes it feels good. I don’t think we missed it, but talking to each other at the table or individually or talking to each other in a group is everything. Solving it together is one thing. The problem is that what is said in the press is not always true.”
