Belgium has really wasted their "golden generation". What a sham their program has been with all of this talent at their disposal.
Not exactly, that's how "golden generations" typically turn out for countries like that. They got a WC 3rd place out of it. That's about as far as it usually goes.

KDB has been average in the whole tournament, he may wear the armband but hewon't lead a team in a battle
Stop it. Not today, Lukaku should have had a hat trick from KDB assists. KDB almost dragged Belgium into R16. Rest of the team let him down today

With 0 shots on goal by Canada????
As expected, they gave nothing in that final third and played a near perfect game in front of goal.

Canada just looked clueless in the final third and could not figure out a way through.

Our football fans were really obnoxious pre-tournament thinking a result was a given against Morocco. That is a quality side.

Morocco won’t win a game in the round of 16. They’re really bad
You aren’t exactly going out on a limb here, but they are no worse than Japan or Costa Rica, and Germany has not been impressive. They have a better chance than Croatia has against Spain

They got a bronze medal out of this group. That feels right to me :dunno:
They should have done better with the talent level they have had. They underperformed at multiple tournaments and didn't get the best they could have out of what they had due to terrible management.

Morocco is a dangerous team, what makes them dangerous is their organization. If they comes out they will have had a great tournament. They have two players, which for example both Canada and USA don't have, Ziyech and Amrabat who are two very important players.

They're the worst ranked team in the group by a good ways. Not sure why it's a huge yikes.

Sure they were hoping for better since they're on the rise, but it's not like it's insane for the team that was the lowest ranked team coming in to lose three times.
A good number had them coming out of the group, they definitely weren't expected to LOSE (not even a draw) all three. The only other team that managed to do that was Qatar. It was a bad showing for sure.
