    Garry Davenport: Best thing about the World Cup so far (and it’s been an amazing tournament) is Chris Sutton’s commentary and should be compulsory for him to commentate on *all* matches from now on. Bar set very high

    Fish: The best 45 minutes of football I have ever watched. They way Belgium breaks must be worrying to any team. They will easily get past Brazil and England.

    Javel Bleach: After these last 3 days I full expect tomorrow to end the Last-16 round with an insipid damp squib.

  2. 'Japan will regret last two minutes'

    Jurgen Klinsmann
    Former Germany head coach

    Japan will regret the last two minutes because they threw everything forward and they were a little bit too open at the back. In the 94th minute, the players are tired and they are thinking about extra time, and that is when mistakes happen.

  3. 'Effective Fellaini'

    Former England defender on BBC One

    Like him or hate him, Fellaini is effective. He makes it difficult for defenders and he attacks balls in and around the opposition box.

  6. 'Fluke header'

    Alan Shearer
    Former Newcastle striker on BBC One

    Vertonghen's header was a fluke. All he is trying to do is put the ball back in the danger area.

    He knows Tristan. I'll tell him when he climbs away from the wreckage of his rewrite...

    Emlyn Begley - you criticised Belgium for bringing on Chadli and Fellaini. What a mistake that was

    Tristan in Cornwall

    This game has been absolutely incredible at one of the greatest World Cups ever. What a game. Magnificent second half. Japan can hold their heads high, two great goals but the depth, guts and character showed by Belgium was just a little too much. Japan surely this year's football love story?

  9. 'Impressive Japan'

    Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Jurgen Klinsmann
    Former Germany head coach

    The way Japan came out of the changing room and started to go forward in the second half was so impressive. The first goal was a top class counter attack.

  10. The winner!

    What a counter attack...

  11. 'Massive moment for Belgium'

    Rio Ferdinand
    Former England defender on BBC One

    De Bruyne had an ineffective game, but when it counted, he made a massive impact with the winning goal. This could be a massive moment for Belgium moving forward in this tournament.

    Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Belgium boss Roberto Martinez: "You get pushed in games, let's congratulate Japan, they played the perfect game. They were clinical on the counter and so solid. It was a test of character and you see the reaction of our subs coming on to win the game. It tells you everything about this group of players.

    "No negatives today, it was about getting through. It is a day to be very proud of these players. Keep believing in Belgium. In the World Cup you want to be perfect but it's about getting through, it's about winning."

  17. 'Belgium won't have a harder game'

    Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Chris Sutton
    Ex-Chelsea striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    Belgium had to dig deep from within and they did it so well. Belgium are not going to have a harder game than this all tournament. Belgium were in a real scrap tonight.

  18. Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Kevin de Bruyne's run for that winer was sensational. We've seen him do that for City all season.

  19. 'The two substitutions won the game'

    Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Alan Shearer
    Former Newcastle striker on BBC One

    It was 45 minutes of sheer entertainment. Great from Japan in the way they went at Belgium and had belief in their system, but credit to Belgium for coming back. Martinez made the two substitutions and they have won the game for him.

    Roberto Martinez approaches counterpart Akira Nishino in the centre but the Japan boss doesn't speak a word of the Queen's. They settle for a shake of the hand and a nod.
