Lukaku, Belgium's hope of qualifying, missed consecutive scoring opportunities


The main culprit for Belgium's failure to score in this game was none other than 29-year-old forward Romelu Lukaku . Currently, he has accumulated the highest transfer fee in football. He contributed 4 goals in 6 games in the last 2018 World Cup and scored 1 goal in the 2014 World Cup. He is the golden generation representing Belgium in 3 World Cups.


And Lukaku, as the key shooter for Belgium to win this game, his performance was astonishing. He seized the opportunity to score in front of the goal many times but failed to grasp it well. Also missed, missed 4 great chances and 1 great chance but hit the right post. Lukaku, who repeatedly let the opportunity slip away in the deciding game, couldn't hide his disappointment after the game, covering his face with coach Roberto Martinez and crying bitterly.

Belgium grieves as Golden Generation comes to an end


The state of Belgium in this World Cup is quite substandard. Only one player, the 29-year-old striker Mitch Batshuayi, scored a goal in the 3 games. Scored 9 goals and finally won the third place in the World Cup. The performance is far from the performance, and the speed of performance regression and level decline in just 4 years is even more jaw-dropping. It can be seen that the general situation in Belgium is over, which also means the end of the golden generation.
