Mousa Dembele hit the jackpot in December 2017 after discovering there was £1m worth of treasure – including 18th Century porcelain, glass, pottery and tableware – in the cellar of a hotel he had purchased in Antwerp.

Which was nice.

Elmir: De Bruyne-Mertens-Hazard-Lukaku what a fantastic forward line

Ibsy: A walk in the park for BEL this evening. Still my favourites to win the World Cup

Anon: Time almost seemed to stand still waiting for the Japan against Belgium game.. I can't imagine what the English fans are going through at the moment

BBC One

Join Jurgen Klinsmann, Rio Ferdinand and Alan Shearer in the Moscow studio for coverage tf tonight's game.

We are up and running on BBC One. Watch above as well.

Fifa tell me it's 25C in Rostov-on-Don, which is plenty warm enough to be having a kickabout in.

Is tonight the night Japan gets a new sporting hero?

Vincent Kompany, chest puffed out, leads his side through some cones as the Rostov Arena fills up.

On paper the Red Devils are overwhelming favourites for this match. But on paper, Germany, Argentina and Spain are still in Russia, having a fine old time.

This World Cup has had zero respect for 'paper' ratings...

Didier Drogba
Former Chelsea and Ivory Coast forward

When I look at what Romelu Lukaku is doing at this World Cup, I am so proud.

Romelu is a player and person I have a special relationship with. I have known him for seven years, since he first came to Chelsea at the age of 18 in 2011, and we are really close.

He is more than my very good friend, he is a kid I love and he is like my younger brother - someone I have always tried to help.

I know things have not always been easy for him but the reason he is doing so well in Russia is down to the character he has shown throughout his career and the hard work he has put in to get here.

Read more from Drogba here

he's back in the starting Xi and maybe this is the game when he truly comes to life in this World Cup.

The Premier League's best player?

BBC Sport charts the journey of Belgium's Kevin de Bruyne from Genk to Manchester City and the 2018 World Cup.

Interesting.

Willian was poor in some of the group games but he was undoubtedly on his game earlier. He made the opener with some great play.

Here come the Japanese side out for their final warm-ups, as the few fans in their seats this early unfurl a large banner behind the goal.

They look nervous, edgy. Japan have never reached the quarter-finals before. They're on the edge of glory here.

Japan need skipper Makoto Hasebe of Eintracht Frankfurt to step up and have a good game tonight.

Japan’s evergreen skipper remains pivotal for club & country even if injuries have limited his involvement in the last two years. This is his third World Cup as captain (he was the on-field skipper in 2010, with a back-up keeper the official team leader).

He broke the record for most games as Japan’s captain in 2015 and has worn the armband over 70 times. After the dismissal of Valid Halilhodzic in April, Hasebe said: “I feel responsible as a player…. I had the most responsibility because he trusted me with the position of captain.”

BBC football expert in Russia

When Belgium have played their strongest side they have not struggled to create chances but, even then, they have not looked like the cohesive unit they will need to be to go far in this tournament.

Roberto Martinez's side will win this tie, though, because I don't think Japan will be able to cope with their attacking power.

Prediction: 2-0

Lawro's full predictions

Of the players starting tonight, Jan Vertonghen, Kevin de Bruyne, Thomas Meunier, Eiji Kawashima, Takashi Inui and Makoto Hasebe are all one booking away from missing the quarter-final.

Belgium forward Dries Mertens says he wants to "score a lot of goals" at the World Cup - to help his friends get free televisions.

Electronics company Krefel has offered Belgian customers a full refund on a newly bought TV if Roberto Martinez's side score 16 times in Russia.

Belgium were top scorers in the group stage with nine, one of which was scored by Napoli's Mertens.

"My friends bought a television, so I am thinking about that," he said.

"With the qualities of Romelu [Lukaku] and Eden [Hazard], we can create a great deal of danger.

"We are doing really well. We like to score a lot of goals."

I thought it was a bit odd that Belgium had decided to start with permacrock Thomas Vermaelen - it's Spurs man Jan Vertonghen who starts in his place.

Apologies - but between you and me it was the Belgium twitter account who got that wrong.

Let's say no more about it. Move on.

Rostov Arena, Rostov-on-Don

Another new stadium, groundbreaking began in 2013, during which intact shells from World War II were found. Completion was delayed from late 2017 to 2018.

Situated on the southern bank of the Don River, the stadium is planned as the start of a new city centre, with the rest of the city lying north.

FC Rostov, the 2014 Russian Cup winners, will play its home games at the stadium following World Cup, with the capacity reduced to 25,000.

A survey in May revealed almost 90% of Japan fans don’t expect the side to get out of their group.

Have some faith! It's #ComingHome...

Belgium are back to full strength after naming a weakened team in the win over England - 10 changes in total.

Vincent Kompany starts at centre-back alongside Jan Vertonghen - not Thomas Vermaelen as Belgium originally tweeted!

Premier League stars Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Toby Alderweireld all come back into the team - while Thibaut Courtois starts again. Napoli's Dries Mertens, PSG's Thomas Meunier and Chinese-based duo Axel Witsel and Yannick Carrasco also start.

Japan are also back to their A team, making six changes from the side who lost to Poland but still qualified.

Attacking midfielders Shinji Kagawa, Takashi Inui, Genki Haraguchi and striker Yuya Osako all return, while captain Makoto Hasebe and defender Gen Shoji are back. Shinji Ozakazi, who had an ankle problem, is among the players to drop out.
