Belgium and Germany crash out of World Cup as Europe’s heavyweights struggle on day 12

Belgium were eliminated from World Cup 2022 on Thursday, crashing out of the tournament with a drab 0-0 draw against Croatia.

The result means Morocco secured their place in the knockouts as winners of Group F, thanks to a 2-1 win against Canada.

Germany’s fate was also decided on Thursday, with another of Europe’s heavyweights entering the third match bottom of their group.

They beat Costa Rica 4-2, but it wasn’t enough to make it past the group stage.

Japan was victorious over Spain, meaning they will face Croatia in the Round of 16.
