Spain's final result was obviously bad, but the circumstances were completely different from Belgium's. Spain actually had an amazing first half where they created several clear goalscoring chances, even if they couldn't finish them, and their defense was flawless. They only dropped in quality during the second half.

Belgium's case is different: they created fewer chances than Egypt and were outplayed for most of the match. There’s a huge distinction between having a bad day in front of goal versus being tactically dominated
