Unique Facts World Cup 2018: Belgian Gold Generation

Because of Belgian escapades to the semi-finals and accompanied by a scattered goal barrels are almost evenly distributed among their players. And Belgium ensured the all-European final took place at the 2018 World Cup, and following a memorable 2-1 win over the remaining South American envoys as well as favorite Brazilian champions in the quarter-final round

And a Belgian success was accompanied by a number of interesting records. And not just qualifying for the first World Cup semi-finals since 1986, Belgium also sharpened their record as the most productive team in Russia. It has been 14 goals by Roberto Martinez's children so far, and is far ahead of England, France and Russia (9 goals).

Nevertheless there is an interesting note that should not be missed. That recorded Belgium has nine different players in scoring all 14 goals.

Kevin De Bruyne became the ninth Belgian player who scored in Russia 2018, and thanks to his rushing shot into the Brazilian quarter-final. And only Fernandinho's own goal in the game was recorded as a goal that did not come from a Belgian player.

Romelu Lukaku became the biggest contributor by scoring four goals, and followed by captain Eden Hazard through two goals. While the rest are Michy Batshuayi, Jan Vertonghen, Dries Mertens, Adnan Januzaj, Marouane Fellaini, and Nacer Chadli.

And the other fact that there are nine players who contributed to goals present one meaning: collectivity. So throughout the tournament, the gold-generated Rode Duivels do look so solid: always scoring goals, always winning, to be able to win a comeback from a two-goal deficit situation.

For my attention I am very grateful and hope that Belgium won the World Cup this year.
