Kevin De Bruyne is carrying the can for Belgium’s World Cup meltdown.
The Manchester City midfielder’s increasingly erratic behaviour is being viewed as a clear sign that there are growing rifts in Roberto Martinez’s squad after a fortuitous 1-0 win over Canada was followed by a shock 2-0 defeat at the hands of Morocco.
De Bruyne performed well below his usual standards in both games and has cut an unhappy figure in Qatar. When he was asked in the build-up to the clash with Morocco whether the Red Devils could win the World Cup, he tellingly answered: “No chance - we’re too old.”
