What Went Wrong for Belgium?

Many fans and pundits saw this as the collapse of Belgium’s so‑called golden generation :

  • They came into the tournament ranked very highly globally and were third-place finishers in 2018 , so expectations were big.
  • Performances were described as unconvincing from the start , even in the 1–0 win over Canada where Canada created many chances.
  • In the decisive match vs Croatia, Belgium created several good opportunities but failed to score , which directly led to their exit.

From a fan‑discussion angle, a lot of talk after the tournament focused on:

  • The team being aging compared with 2018.
  • Questions about tactics and squad balance , especially in attack and midfield.
  • A feeling that this was a missed last big chance for that core group of players.
