I am heartbroken. This is 2003 all over for me. The injuries on defense did them in. Breaking in 2 really young defenders did not work. Losing Kompany, Vertongen, Vermaelen and Lombaerts did them in. It is not as much the drop in ability but lack of experience working together. Denaeyer, Lukaku and Meunier could become an excellent defensive core. But they are not there now.
They got robbed by the ref, but Wales took advantage and deserve credit. In the end I am not sure Belgium would have won even if they got the fouls.
New coach for the WC and a bit better luck on injuries and we will be back.
I am not aware of any language caused problems on the team regardless of what the announcers said.
