    Kevin de Bruyne didn't rate Belgium's chances of winning the World Cup before this game.

    I'm sure he definitely doesn't now.

    Football is not just about having the best players, it is about bringing the best out of the players.

    Belgium look like pale shadows of the team they were. Not fit enough, & utterly clueless. Eden Hazard has been abysmal. Well done Morocco. totally deserved.

    Jeff

    That’s embarrassing. It’s not that Morocco were amazing. More that Belgium were awful. Should really beat these teams. Seems they did an England.

    Nick

    Morocco thoroughly deserve their victory. Their game plan worked and hit Belgium on the break.

    There was no reaction from Belgium after the goal. We have seen very little from that team. If they continue playing like that then they will have no chance in the next game against Croatia.

    For me, the problem is just mentally. They have to be much tougher.

    They have players to do a lot better than we saw today.

    Luminol Nights: Why is no one talking about the obvious? Martinez is an average manager at best who’s been carried by some exceptional players. They’ll get rid of him now, but it’s 6 years too late.

  8. 'We lost our composure after the goal'published at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 27 November 2022

    FT: Belgium 0-2 Morocco

    Belgium manager Roberto Martinez: "It's a difficult result because the first goal affected the outcome a lot. It's a dead ball situation, we couldn't get our game going and it's a game that we need to understand. We need to be together and react in the next game. That's what happens in the World Cup.

    "The way we defended the goal is the way we have been defending free-kicks for six years, that's not the issue. It's a good ball in, it's nothing to do with the set up.

    "I think we had good moments but we couldn't get clear cut chances, we only had a couple of half opportunities and if you allow that goal to be conceded then it changes the game radically.

    "At the moment we conceded the goal we lost our composure too much and we couldn't get ourselves back in the final third with more thought.

    "We knew Morocco were getting bodies behind the ball and we couldn't break them down. The game went away from us the moment we conceded the goal.

    "We need to make sure that we get stronger together and we'll get ready for the third game."

    The connection between fans and players is making a huge difference. They are like the 12th player, the stadium was red for Morocco. It made a difference. You can see it and feel it.

    We spoke about the mentality of that Belgium team. When you have some of your best players coming out and saying 'we have no chance at this World Cup, the squad too old.' It will affect the mentality of the squad.

    We have seen no passion, no fight, no energy. Nothing. They still have individual quality to win games and get through the last 16 but it is really sad to see that Belgian group of players not fighting for the country.

    Here is the opening goal.

    A blunder from Thibaut Courtois?

    Roberto Martinez has refused to blame the set-up of his side for the goal.

    A "difficult" result, says Belgium boss Roberto Martinez.

    "We need to understand the result," he adds.

    Pablo Zabaleta is absolutely laying into Belgium.

    The Morocco players are still out of the pitch, hand-in-hand, running up to the Morocco fans.

    They are going to embrace every single second of this and so they should.

    This is how Group F looks after that win for Morocco.

    They now lead the group and with Canada in their final group game they will have high hopes of progressing.

    Well done to Morocco. They deserved it. They defended so well and then they took their chances.

    They are top of the group now and have a great chance to qualify.
