Belgium was the first in the world in the past: European Cup + European League wins only 1 win + World Cup qualifiers were tied

June 7th, in the World Cup European Group J, Belgium was tied 1-1 by North Macedonia.

The golden generation in Belgium has basically come to an end, and now only De Bruyne, Lukaku and others are left to support it. In last year's European Cup, Belgium only won 1 in the group stage. Although it advanced to the knockout stage, it was immediately eliminated by France. The UEFA Nations League was in the same group as France, Italy, Israel, while Belgium only won 1 in 6 games and failed to advance to the knockout stage. Now participating in the World Cup qualifiers, Belgium, now ranked 8th in the world, was tied by North Macedonia 67th, and is still in a trough.

7 years ago, the Belgian Golden Generation performed well in the 2018 World Cup, and has since ranked first in the world from September 2018 to February 2022. It’s a pity that this Golden Generation failed to achieve any breakthroughs in both the 2020 European Cup and the 2022 World Cup.
