Morocco beats Belgium, because clashes and violence in Brussels are a pretext – Corriere.it

Like the famous butterfly flapping that causes a hurricane on the other side of the world,
the two goals by Saiss (only for Fifa: the free-kick by the Sampdorian Sabiri seems to end up on goal by itself
perhaps with the collaboration of a not very reactive Courtois) and of Aboukhlal (on an assist from an inspired Ziyech, AC Milan’s long-term market target) with which Morocco troubles the Golden Generation of Belgium – despite the entry in the final of the Italians Lukaku and De Ketelaere – causes scenarios of real urban warfare in the center of Brussels, but also in Molenbeek, Schaerbeek, Anderlecht, Liège.

Not a surprise actually: in Belgium many expected it, whatever the outcome of the match. finished with the party here in Doha of thousands of Morocco fans (considerably the most numerous) who cheered wildly and the sweet image of Hakimi (ex Inter, now at PSG) who runs to embrace his mother, but unfortunately also ended with pure violence, cars set on fire, an ambulance thrown into stones, scooters and bikes destroyed, firecrackers, stones and bullets hurled at the agents: the provisional balance says one injured and a dozen arrested in Brussels. In Liège the police station was attacked.

The game as a pretext to vent the dissatisfaction of second or third generation immigrants who feel more Moroccan than Belgian, within a World Cup that is increasingly the showcase of gigantic issues, so much so as to even recall the intervention of the Minister of Infrastructure Matteo Salvini: One thing to celebrate, another thing to rape entire neighborhoods. In Europe we have to ask ourselves about out-of-control immigration.

In 2008 the magazine Voebtbalmagazine title United colors of Belgium a service that spoke of the National team that came close to the medal in Beijing

and was the first seed of the Gouden Generatie, the Golden Generation. It was the illusion of a reconciliation achieved in society, it was also the illusion on the sporting level of successes that never came.

From great promises the various De Bruyne, Witsel, Eden Hazard (yesterday on the field with his brother Thorgan) have become great and now players a end of the cycle. Coach Martinez revolutionized the team that had won by disappointing Canada, adding Onana and Meunier, and the game improved a bit. But mistakes are too many and dangerous actions are few, while Morocco (which after the hymns has to replace goalkeeper Bounou, who has an illness, with reserve Monir El Kajoui) is an organized team, with quality players, who are more willing. And it deserves the edge. Now it’s trouble for Belgium: must beat Croatia to be sure of passing: there is only one hope at the moment and his name is Lukaku.
