      Around 100 riot cops were scrambled to the scene as fans set fire to e-scooters and smashed up vehicles during the game – which ended with a 0-2 defeat for Belgium.
      Shocking images showed fires burning in the middle of the road and Moroccan supporters waving flags as they paraded down the streets.
      Tensions were already mounting before the start of the match as fireworks were thrown near Brussels-South railway station.
      Brussels mayor Philippe Close condemned the riots and warned people not to come to the city centre.

      He was in charge of the national team when he sadly took his own life at home.
      Still adored by supporters, team-mates and coaches alike, Speed will forever be held in high regard by all connected with Welsh football.
      And Rob Page’s side held a minute’s silence at 4pm in Qatar to reflect on a true national legend.
      Page and his squad formed a circle on the pitch at the Al Sadd Sports Club on an emotional day for the Dragons.
      READ MORE ON WORLD CUP
      Midfielder Joe Allen paid tribute to Speed and said: “Gary was a great man, he’s often in the player’s thoughts.
      “He was an inspiration for his performances as a player and as a manager.
      “He has played a big part in the journey this team has been through and we remember him very fondly.”
      Wales’ Twitter account also shared a touching video montage of Speed, which included Page dedicating their first World Cup campaign since 1958 to the former midfielder.
      Most read in Football
      Speed played 926 senior matches – including 85 caps for Wales between 1990 and 2004.
      The Leeds and Newcastle icon retired in 2010 and took over as Sheffield United manager in the same year – and then succeeded John Toshack in the December.
      He won five and lost five of his ten matches as national team boss and remains an inspiration for the current crop.
      Wales are making their preparations to play England in their final Group B clash on Tuesday evening.
      Page knows his side must win to have any chance of progressing through to the knockout stages.

      China censoring Qatar World Cup crowds on TV by cutting away to hide maskless faces as rage grows of Covid lockdown

      by

      CHINA’S state broadcaster cut away from maskless fans at the Qatar World Cup today amid Covid lockdown rage. During the live broadcast of the Japan and Costa Rica game, CCTV Sports replaced close-up shots of maskless fans waving flags with images of players, officials or the football stadium.

      CCTV Sports showed distant shots of the crowd where it was difficult to make out individual faces, and fewer crowd shots compared to the live broadcast of the same game on Douyin – China’s TikTok.
      Footage of the Tunisia and Australia clash on Saturday also emerged showing a stark difference between the state TV’s version of the game and other broadcasts.
      CCTV Sports kept the camera on players on the pitch and officials on the sidelines while the other broadcast zoomed in on fans reacting to the game.
      And in a video shared of the 1-1 draw between the USA and Wales, the crowd appeared to be blurred in one version of the broadcast.
      Read more on China
      Tens of millions of people in major cities in China – including the capital Beijing – are currently under some form of lockdown as Covid cases rise across the country.
      China is the last major economy still trying to stamp out the spread of Covid with snap lockdowns, lengthy quarantine rules and mass testing regimes.
      But the contrast of the harsh restrictions with the raucous World Cup crowds has infuriated many living in China.
      The images of maskless fans in Qatar have highlighted to many frustrated Chinese the difference between their country’s Covid curbs and a world that has moved on from masks and lockdowns.
      Most read in The Sun
      An open letter to China’s National Health Commission questioned the country’s Covid policies and asked if China was “on the same planet” as Qatar.
      It went viral online last Tuesday before being deleted.
      One Weibo user fumed: “My biggest takeaway from watching the World Cup: no one is wearing a mask, and no one is afraid of the pandemic!”
      “How long will the policies keep us in lockdown? Are we not the same species with those from the rest of the world?
      “Are we closing off the entire country from the world now?”
      Another said: “The Qatar world cup tells us that the rest of the world has returned to normal.
      “It’s not sustainable for us to maintain this state of shutdown.”
      State broadcaster CCTV spent millions of dollars on the rights to broadcast the event – even though China has not qualified for the competition since 2002.
      It comes as China deployed an army of riot cops to crush protests as fury erupted over the deaths of ten people in a tower block blaze.
      Hundreds have taken to the streets across major cities in China after the tragedy was blamed on Xi Jinping’s draconian zero-Covid lockdown.
      From Beijing to Shanghai, the deaths have led to protests across China and cops have descended onto the streets to keep order as tensions boil over.
      The deadly blaze at the apartment block in Urumqi on Thursday sparked outrage as the city has been under strict Covid restrictions since August.
      Furious residents have blamed the deaths on the Covid lockdown as they said they were only allowed to leave home for short periods each day and the timing was strictly controlled by authorities.
      Footage also showed workers trying to take down fences near the building, delaying firefighters and emergency services from getting to the scene and helping victims.
      Thousands took to social media to question whether residents had been trapped in the building – and whether the fire exits had been blocked.
      Urumqi authorities issued an unusual apology on Friday night and confirmed lockdown measures would be eased “in stages” after the blaze.
      And on Sunday, Beijing appeared to acknowledge the tragedy as authorities reportedly issued a notice stating it is “strictly forbidden” to block fire exits in buildings under lockdown.
      But the deaths have sparked protests across China.
      People in Urumqi were seen confronting officials, breaking down a barrier and yelling “end the Covid lockdown”.
      Read More on The Sun
      Protesters in Shanghai stood on police cars and others chanted “we don’t want PCR tests” as a vigil was held in the city for the fire victims on Saturday night.
      The demonstrations are the latest signs of building frustration with Chinas intense approach to controlling Covid. More

      World Cup’s ‘hottest fan’ ready to cheer on Croatia in mini dress despite ‘modesty’ warning by Qatar

      THE WORLD CUP’S so-called “hottest fan” is ready to cheer on her beloved Croatia as she donned a red and white checkerboard mini-dress. Croatian superfan Ivana Knoll warned Canada to “beware” her beloved side as the two teams clash this afternoon at the Khalifa International Stadium.

      Glam footie fans risk being slapped with huge fines or even put behind bars if they flash their figures in Qatar.
      Although non-Qatari women don’t need to wear the abaya – the long, black robe – their tops must cover their midriff and shoulders, and skirts, dresses and trousers must cover the knees.
      Women travelling in to the Arab nation are also banned from wearing any tight clothing, or flashing any cleavage.
      WAGs were advised to wear a scarf around their necks in a bid to cover up their busts.
      “Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public,” the Qatar tourism authority warned before the World Cup.

      Morocco 2 Belgium 0: Red Devils stunned by Courtois dropping clanger after VAR drama as World Cup hopes hang in balance

      by

      THIBAUT COURTOIS’ four-day spell as a World Cup hero ended on a crushing day for Belgium.The 6ft 5in keeper’s second-half clanger set his team on the way to a humiliating defeat that will seriously rock the ambitions of a talented but ageing team.

      Criticism came in for Thibaut Courtois just days after his heroics against CanadaCredit: Getty
      Courtois actually made two blunders on a day when Roberto Martinez’s squad failed to turn up and were undone by their own sloppiness and the passion of minnows Morocco.
      He got away with the first one when Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech’s free-kick was ruled out by VAR  – but he clearly didn’t heed the warning.
      In the second half, he got mugged again by a similar strike that piles pressure on to boss Martinez as he struggles to get his team into the knockout stages.
      Belgium were unconvincing in their spawny 1-0 win over Canada that sent them into this match as Group F leaders.

      READ MORE ON WORLD CUP
      It took lightning reactions from Courtois to see them through.
      But they looked even more wobbly here against a Moroccan side with a dash of current or ex-Premier League players in Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech, former Wolves defender Romain Saiss and ex-Southampton winger Sofiane Boufal.
      Just one shot on target in the first half and a feeble one at that when right-back Thomas Meunier finished off a three-man move involving Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne – experienced, quality footballers who really should be doing better.
      Morocco barely threatened to score themselves but against the No2-ranked team in the international rankings that is no surprise.

      It was up to Belgium to take the game to the North Africans looking for the win that would see them into the last 16 with a game to spare even if they aren’t at their best.
      They failed to do so and for a few moments at the end of the first half feared a calamity when the lowly opposition who have never been beyond the group stage, took a surprise lead.
      Wideman Ziyech was fouled three yards out from the left-hand corner of the Belgian box.
      He took the free-kick himself and whipped a curling inbound shot over the wall.

      It cleared every head only to then squirm under the body of the lumbering Courtois and over the line.
      All his good work against the Canadians last Wednesday looked undone until Mexican ref Cesar Ramos was directed to his pitchside screen and noted a narrow offside against ex-Molineux man Saiss.
      There was little improvement in the second half and Boufal came close to scoring with a scorching shot across the face of goal that whistled past Courtois’ left-hand post.
      Hazard was replaced on the hour mark as part of a double substitution that saw Leicester’s Youri Tielemens come on to inject some life into Belgium.
      But it only got worse as Courtois made his second blunder of the match at another set-piece.
      With 17 minutes left, midfielder Abdelhamed Sabiri took a chance with a free-kick from a similar position to that in the first half.
      Read More on The Sun
      Instead of crossing, he went for it by whipping a shot towards the near post which Courtois had left unguarded and was unable to react in time to keep the ball out of his net.
      In injury time Morocco swept forward and Ziyech’s clever cutback found Zakaria Abouhlal who rifled in number two to spark pandemonium on the Africans’ bench.

      SunSport’s Andrew Dillon has this half-time report from the stands, explaining that last-minute keeper switch.
      A WEIRD half – which started with Morrocco suddenly having to switch keepers just moments before kick off.
      Number one Youssine Bounou was taken ill after singing the national anthem and replaced by Munir El Kajoui. It won’t count as a substitution because the game had not kicked off.
      And after a drab half in which Belgium failed to impose themselves in any way against their unfancied opponents it was their keeper Thibaut Courtois who had the last word.
      The 6ft 6in stopper allowed an inswinging free kick from Hakim Ziyech to squirm under his body and give the Moroccans what they thought was a shock lead. But the goal was ruled out for a narrow offside following a VAR check.
      Belgium look rubbish though. Even worse than against Canada in the first game when they got a lucky win.Andrew DillonSunSport
      Half-time stats
      Belgium have enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, but have struggled to do an awful lot with it.
      Batshuayi cuts an isolated figure up front, whilst De Bruyne looks frustrated with the rest of his team.

      HALF-TIME – Belgium 0-0 Morocco
      The whistle disallowing Morocco’s goal is shortly followed by the half-time whistle as the players trudge off the field.
      Ziyech is still arguing with the referees, but the new video review graphics looked pretty conclusive.
      It’s been far from a classic, with scrappy challenges all over the pitch preventing either side from building any kind of momentum.
      Let’s hope for better in the second half!

      GOAL DISALLOWED – Belgium 0-0 Morocco
      The goal is chalked off for offside. It was Saiss who looked to be covering the Courtois’ eye-line.
      Belgium 0-1 Morocco
      The referee is off to take a look at the screen. It looks like an offside check, which you think wouldn’t need to be checked.
      GOAL! – Belgium 0-1 Morocco

      Ziyech sends in a free-kick which just goes through everyone.
