Brazil - Belgium will be quite a match-up. I wanted Belgium to go through, but I also really feel bad for Japan. They were so close.

I haven't been so crushed by a defeat as a neutral since Cameroon lost to England in 1990.

Last time a team came back from two goals down to win a WC knockout match was Germany against England in 1970 - and they needed extra time.

Literally every single match that hasn't involved England, the team that I've wanted to win has lost. Every single time without fail.

I was rooting for Belgium just because I didn't want to see this become a victory parade for Brazil. But I feel bad for Japan.
My wife seen that goal coming. Right after Courtois sent the ball down she said "uh oh..."

Courtois makes a good catch, rolls it out to the one guy you would hope is switched on, De Bruyne, a surging run up the middle drawing the Japanese full-back inside, a made to measure pass to the one guy, Meunier, who has been knocking great balls into the box all night and at last, Lukaku has a moment of inspiration, dummying the pass for the wide open Chadli to guide it into the net. What a goal to win a great match.
