If you can laugh at yourself then you can laugh at anything.
Belgium beat England 1-0 on Thursday night in the final game of the World Cup group stages.
The match was a bit of a dead rubber, and the game’s only moment of brilliance came from former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj, who scored a beautiful goal.
But the real highlight of the game came about four seconds after the ball struck the back of the net.
Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi grabbed the ball and went to show his happiness by booting the ball into the air.
But it didn’t really go to plan.
Post 1-0 Batshuayi – Don't want to oversell it, but this may be the best 33 second clip you'll watch this World Cup. A slow motion replay of a contender for goal of the tournament followed by, well just watch yourself. #rtesoccer #worldcup #ENG #BEL pic.twitter.com/az31Mtc9pg

The ball rebounded off the post and absolutely walloped him in the face.
The goal was sweet, but this was sweeter.
And Batshuayi himself, a fella who’s very fond of Twitter, had a response to the incident within minutes of the game ending…
Ahahha I knew I would be f*cked the minute I come to my mentions 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why am I so stupid bro 🤦🏾♂️ shit hurts

Fair to play him. Good to see that he can take a bit of slagging. He’d probably have to delete his Twitter if he couldn’t…
