Belgium were dreadful in victory against Canada as the Golden Generation embarks on its final journey together for roughly the third time.
It hardly qualifies as analysis to suggest that Belgium’s famed Golden Generation is gathering rust in 2022. This gifted group has been drinking at the last-chance saloon for, a handy fate when they inevitably come to need a place to drown their sorrows.
So perhaps the sheer labour and effort required to extract three points from their Group F opener should have come as no surprise.; Argentina, Denmark, Croatia and Germany would take that right now. Canada were irrepressible, aggressive and without fear. Eight of their starters had at least one shot. Jonathan David managed seven by himself and substitute Cyle Larin had three despite playing barely half an hour. They could have had another penalty. Tajon Buchanan should have scored. Stephen Eustaquio and Richie Laryea were phenomenal.
There was an improvement but the profligacy of Michy Batshuayi ensured nerves were shredded until the very end.
