Has the European Red Devil fallen? With a star-studded squad worth 500 million, they took 38 shots but only scored an own goal! After two consecutive draws, they still have a 90% chance of advancing.

In the second round of Group G at the World Cup, which concluded on June 22 Beijing time, Belgium, nicknamed the "European Red Devils," surprisingly drew 0-0 with Iran, starting the tournament with two straight draws and delivering a disappointing performance.

In the opening match, Belgium was initially broken through by Egypt. Without substitute Lukaku’s own-goal intervention, they would have faced a loss right from the start.

In the second match against Iran, lacking the pacey winger Doku, Belgium struggled even more.

What’s more, in the 66th minute, Belgian defender Ngoy was sent off after pulling down Taremi following a back-pass error. Eventually, with ten men, Belgium could only settle for a goalless draw with Iran.

Throughout the game, Belgium fired 23 shots with 7 on target but failed to score. Combined with their 15 attempts in the first match, the team has taken 38 shots in this World Cup yet only managed one own goal—a truly disappointing record.

After two consecutive draws, Belgium set several embarrassing milestones. Firstly, this is the first time since 2002 that Belgium has failed to win either of its first two group-stage matches.

Secondly, Belgium has gone 406 minutes in World Cup matches without a goal scored by one of their own players.

Thirdly, Belgian players have collectively attempted 69 shots in World Cup play without a single goal (excluding own goals).

Although this Belgian side is far from the quality of the "Golden Generation," it still boasts experienced players like Trossard, De Bruyne, Lukaku, and Tielemans. The squad's total value is 548 million euros, ranking 10th among all World Cup teams. Therefore, their failure to secure a win so far is quite unexpected.

Ironically, despite two straight draws, Belgium still has a 89.44% chance of advancing, thanks to the expanded World Cup format where even the third-place team in the group can qualify.

As long as they beat New Zealand in the final round, they are still highly likely to finish in the top two of the group.
