Can we have Man City De Bruyne back?! Belgium winners, losers and ratings as Batshuayi & Courtois keep Canada at bay

Roberto Martinez's side actually kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign with a win, with Michy Batshuayi scoring the only goal of their Group F clash with Canada on Wednesday night, but it was utterly undeserved.

Belgium were battered but the Canucks simply weren't clinical enough, even missing a penalty during a particularly one-sided first half.

Indeed, they had eight shots in the first 15 minutes alone but only one was on target, and that was the Alphonso Davies spot-kick saved by Thibaut Courtois.
