Pedri and Gavi were outstanding in Spain's 7-0 win over Costa Rica. They are the same age as Xavi and Andres Iniesta, who helped Spain win the World Cup and European Championship a decade ago. Belgium's World cup debut was disappointing. They lost their opening game to Canada. There are concerns about their future. Michy Batshuayi scored the winner. He is a striker. Roberto Martinez's team is reliant on Romelu Lukaku. Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld were poor. The team was also outclassed by Canada's defence.
