African slow start to the world cup in Qatar is gaining greater momentum after Senegal defeated host Qatar the other day. To make it sweeter, Morocco shocked Star studded Belgium 2-0 earlier today to pile more pressure on Roberto Martinez's hapless team.
Even before the game, Manchester City playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne has already written off Belgium's chances of glory because he feels that the Roberto Martinez's squad is ageing.
So, it wasn't a surprise that after second-half goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal, Belgium are now condemned to win their last match against Croatia to reach the knockout stage which is going to be herculean.
Not even the presence of Romelu Lukaku can take anything away from the North African side as Belgium concede identical goals on the set piece, twice at the near post, these are balls that should never gone in.
Morocco has a lot of quality up front like Hakim Ziyech and co, and so they came out smoking. However, some feel that the current Belgian golden generation missed their chances in the past.
