DOHA : Belgium coach Roberto Martinez seems puzzled as to why his side have been so poor in their opening two matches of the World Cup, but put Sunday’s surprise 2-0 loss to Morocco down to a fear of losing and not enough quality in their attack.

"We haven't been the best Belgium at this World Cup yet," he admitted."Today I thought we played with the fear of losing. Without the ball we still work for each other but when we have the ball, we don't stand out, we are not ourselves. We have to work on that. "We didn't take advantage of our good moments in the first half and that first goal from Morocco determined the rest of the game," he said.
