Jan Vertonghen took aim at Belgium teammate Kevin de Bruyne after their World Cup defeat to Morocco.

Manchester City star De Bruyne declared the Belgians over the hill going into the game.

After second-half goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal condemned Belgium to defeat, leaving them requiring at least a point from their final group match against Croatia to reach the knockout stages, 35-year-old Vertonghen appeared to reference De Bruyne's controversial interview.

He said: "In the end we conceded two identical goals on the set piece, twice at the near post. Balls that should never go in.

"The first time we got away well (disallowed for offside), the second time not anymore.

"There's so much going through my mind right now, things I shouldn't say in the open air. I don't think we created any chances. Where did it go wrong?

"We probably also attack badly because we are too old, that must be it now, surely? We have a lot of quality up front, but so does Morocco, and they came out better today. This is very frustrating."
