Belgium at the UEFA European Championship

After finishing first in the group phase, before football nations Italy, England and Spain, Belgium stood in the final against West Germany.Final At UEFA Euro 1984[2] the road to the knockout stage seemed open after taking a 2–0 lead in their last group match against Denmark, but the Red Devils could not prevent Danish Dynamite to turn the tide in their favour.This early exit was fairly unexpected since during the eight preparational friendlies for Euro 2000 under Robert Waseige Belgium played well,[3] winning three times convincingly and losing only once (2–1 against England).[4] In the crucial match where Belgium needed one more point to move ahead to the quarter-finals, they lost 2–0 against Turkey (two goals from Hakan Şükür in the 45th after another error of goalkeeper Filip De Wilde, and 70th minute).[6] In spite of winning with broad margins against the Republic of Ireland (3–0)[7] and Hungary (4–0) at UEFA Euro 2016,[8][9] Belgium's second very talented generation disappointed with a quarter-final exit.
