If we bring our A game we'll blow Brazil out of the water... They're not playing that well and we've never been better than we are right now... This is the best team Belgium has ever seen...

I know I will sand up & literally celebrate if Belgium knocks Brazil out the tournament tomorrow. Best of luck to your National team!!!

I have to disagree, Belgium has had better teams and players in the past. Sadly they had to face the best teams in 1986 and 1990. Ceulemans, Gerets, the great Scifo, Van der Elst, Grun, and you certainly had some of the best goalies in Pfaff and Preud'Homme!

Ranked 3rd in the world right now (top of the ranking in 2015) with Germany and Brazil ahead of us, but Germany won't be scoring anymore points now...
We can do this, we WILL do it, dammit

The Japanese are pure class act...

Brazil 2, Mexico 0.

I hate Neymar with a passion, diving swan, bad fake actor. When he was slightly stepped on off the pitch, he acted like he was shot with a cannon...spinning and crying like an exorcised creature of some sorts...he should’ve been red-carded.

I want ANY team to beat them...

Belgium, Russia, Uruguay, Colombia, Sweden, Japan, France, Croatia, England...ANYBODY >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Neymar and his diving swans...

"Not bad, not bad. Good technique. Very strong grimace. If I were to add anything, maybe a little more arm flailing, but overall a very good performance."

Mighty Belgium? I wish my national team had to face teams like Belgium to get in the tournament!

They are going to face a serious test against Brazil. IMHO they stand no chance against Neymar and Co. And what about France and Uruguay on that side of the semifinal...

The other side of the semifinal is going to be boring. Hopefully some nice soccer will be played, but there isn't any serious contenders. Russia is going to have to keep playing anti-soccer to go through and maybe reach the final match!

It's been a fun to watch worldcup so far!

that was a great game. that last goal for Belgium was perfectly played and executed

[Hector]

Beligium wins...

Great game...the underdog Japanese should be proud of themselves hanging in there against the powerful Belgium team.

Friggin hell...Japan is smoking mighty Belgium right now....

Horrible penalty kicks from both Croatia and Denmark, boring game too...the complete opposite of yesterday’s awesome games.

[Hector]

Russia shocks Spain on penalty kicks...

I hope Cavini’s injury is very minor, as Uruguay needs him against France.

The wife and I we cancelled our fleamarket morning to watch the game. Sad to see the Argentinian squad out of the tournament! No VAR for Rojo's fault against the French forward!? C'mon, that should've been a free kick, not a penalty.

And Uruguay... WOW! Their squad features FOUR of the best players: José María Gimenez AND the fantastic Diego Godín on the back, and Luis Suárez + Edinson Cavani forward, totally awesome!

Who's going to stop LA CELESTE in this worldcup?
