Likely plays final World Cup
De Bruyne generated two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Spain. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
Analysis: De Bruyne was back in the starting role for Belgium as they faced Spain after going unused against the USA. The veteran would play 86 minutes, notching two shots and a cross in the loss. He goes home from the World Cup with not his best tournament, as his age is possibly catching up with him, only earning one goal on 20 shots and zero assists on 10 chances created. That said, this will likely end his international career, as the midfielder would be 39 when the next World Cup comes around.
Taken off after 56 minutes
De Bruyne registered two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Senegal.
Analysis: De Bruyne was not too involved in Wednesday's match despite the win, as he was taken off in the 56th minute in a shocking move. He would record a few shots and crosses to go along with a chance created in his time on the field, although his actions were not enough to change the tide. With Belgium finding its momentum once he was off the field, it does raise some questions heading into the round of 16, but it would likely bring even more questions if he didn't remain a starter.
