Belgium’s ace forward and captain Eden Hazard admitted Saturday that Belgium's best chance to win the World Cup had come and gone but said they still have the quality and experience to win it his time, reports AFP.

Belgium, who finished third at the tournament in Russia in 2018, are still ranked second in the world but many of key-players of "Golden Generation" are now in their 30s.

"The team was better four years ago but still we have the quality to win games and to win the competition. We have a few guys, they are a bit older now but we have experience and the best goalkeeper in the world (Thibaut Courtois).

"We have one of the best midfields in the world, right now. We have good strikers. We have the team and I think it's just the desire to want to win, and the mentality."

"Belgium can win the World Cup if we are in form. If we are not, it will be tough," he added. 

The Real Madrid forward said he was not over-worried by Belgium's struggles in their opening Group F match against Canada, which they won 1-0, but urged the team to play dauntingly.
