Belgium, who started the World Cup in Group-G, face a tough equation at this stage. They trailed 2-0 at the start of Monday's thrilling match against Japan in the knock-out stage, but then recovered in the last minute. So that this is the first team since 1970 to cross the barrier of the knockout stage.
However, as a reward for that victory, they now have to face one of the World Cup favorites and five-time world champions Brazil in the quarter-finals.
But if they had lost to England in the group stage, they would not have faced any world champions until the final. The advantage that England is now getting.
Belgium is one of the two teams that have won all four games in the group stage of the World Cup in Russia. However, after reaching the quarter-finals, they now face a tough test.
Red Devils manager Roberto Martinez said, "When we went 2-0 down against Japan, we had nothing to lose and that gave us courage." That will be the case against Brazil. But we have to have the same mindset to win.
Almost all the stars who are still alive in this World Cup will be available on the field in this match. Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and PSG will each have at least one player in both teams.
Neymar is one of the most talked about players in the competition – although not always in a positive way.
He scored two goals at the World Cup in Russia, but his reaction to falling on the field earned him much derision.
Another important thing to remember is that much is said about Brazil's attack, but their defense has only conceded 1 goal in their last 9 matches and only 5 shots on goal against them.-BBC
