looks like its going to be another awful manager who is going to ruin Belgiums golden generation.

As much as I like to blame Martinez,some of the Belgian players need to take responsibility too, last night quite a few looked like they were going through the motions,with very little team ethic. This to me is no golden generation but a handful of decent players putting the same shirt on but all pulling in a different direction.

They are definitely a golden generation, when has Belgium ever produced this amount of talent? they still have players like Denayer, Tielemans, Musonda, T.Hazard and Bakkali coming through they are spoilt with so many talented players, but a lack of a good manager to turn them into a team!

1972 3rd european championship

1980 runners up euros

1986 4th place world cup

1990 a very good team beaten last minute extra time by England 

That was the golden generation, football wasn't invented in 1992 like Sky would have you believe

 

add to that Belgian club football was reasonably high in the Eighties

I am fully aware of their team in the 80's but if you think they were as talented as this generation then you couldn't be more wrong! This is Belgiums golden generation, whether you want to accept it or not!

They are only dubbed that by the media. Golden generations achieve something, the team of the Eighties did just that, add a bit of luck and they would have had a trophy in that period. This team will go down as the ones who might have talent but don't have the application to take it up a level. Only Hazard of the curent team would get into the Spain first eleven which was very evident last night and most wouldn't get into the team of the Eighties. Like everything it is all opinion , there is no right or wrong.

Maybe the golden generation is no golden generation after all. Don't get me wrong, some of those guys have a lot of quality, obviously led by Hazard and de Bruyne, but especially defensively, they are absolutely nothing special.
