    For Panama, it will be all about how they handle Hazard and De Bruyne because they won't have played against players with that kind of quality before. It looks a little bit ominous.

    Belgium 0-0 Panama

    The Red Devils start to work the defence.

    First Yannick Carrasco steps in from the left and fires a low sidefoot shot that is comfortably saved by Jaime Penedo.

    And then the Panama keeper is forced to tip over a shot from Napoli's Dries Mertens.

    Simmering.

    Belgium 0-0 Panama

    Panama look well organised at the back, led by skipper Roman Torres.

    Chelsea's Eden Hazard has been well marshalled, on the left hand side, so far - how long can they keep him quiet though?

    As we have seen already, there have been some outstanding performances from some of the underdogs, but this would be monumental for Panama to get anything from this game.

    Danny Murphy
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    Kevin de Bruyne is the best I've seen at opening teams up from anywhere on the pitch. He plays through balls, crosses, left foot, right foot. His assists are incredible. He can play on the left, the right, sometimes he sits deep and dictates play.

    He's got a fantastic platform here to continue his form this season.

    Belgium 0-0 Panama

    There are six Premier League players and one Scottish Premiership player in this Belgium starting XI.

    They've got a bit of defending to do to stop this Panama free-kick from the right...

    Andy: Panama singing their national anthem at the football is exactly how it should be done

    Phil: Watching the Panama players sing their anthem. Can see their pride. Beautiful hair on end moment. That’s what football and the World Cup is all about. Fairytale stuff.

    Chelsea and Spain midfielder on BBC One

    I played in Panama after we won the World Cup in 2010. They are very organised and they know what they are doing. They will try to expose Belgium’s weaknesses because there are some.

    Belgium v Panama (16:00 BST)

    Phil Neville
    Former England & Man Utd defender on BBC One

    The Panama manager, Gomez, is going to use all of that experience he has picked up over the years. He will have to be organised and play a good system to ensure he blocks off those brilliant Belgium players.

  15. 'It's like telling a creative player to not create'published at 15:57 British Summer Time 18 June 2018

    Belgium v Panama (16:00 BST)

    Cesc Fabregas
    Chelsea and Spain midfielder on BBC One

    Kevin De Bruyne is so good and he can deliver so much in the final third, that you are taking a lot from his game by playing him deeper. It is like telling your most creative player to not be creative.

  16. Anthemspublished at 15:57 British Summer Time 18 June 2018

    Belgium v Panama (16:00 BST)

    It sounds like the whole of Panama are singing the anthem - Himno Istmeno - inside the Fisht Stadium.

    Rousing.

    Eden Hazard is the most talented player in the Premier League. Sometimes, I don't think he believes how good he is. In terms of talent, he is one of the best players I have played with and he is so important for the dressing room.

  18. 'Torres is inspirational'published at 15:55 British Summer Time 18 June 2018

    Roman Torres is a huge presence, somewhat ironic he got the goal that secured qualification. You look at lesser teams they all have a leader who inspires tge others. He is the type of guy who is good on set plays, a good smile, good story, not just the team but him. I'm looking forward to watching him play,
