  1. 'Insane strike!'published at 19:59 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Former Germany head coach

    That strike is insane! That's what you want to see from a very special player. Step up in a World Cup quarter final and make it happen.

    Brazil are so open, really if you look at the movement of De Bruyne and Lukaku it opens up so much space. Fellaini is playing defensively a major game, he's been outstanding so far.

    Neymar is not there yet. We shall see in the second half.

  3. The impossible jobpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Brazil 0-2 Belgium

    No side has ever won a World Cup game in which they’ve been trailing by two or more goals at half-time.

  4. 'Huge credit to Martinezpublished at 19:53 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Alan Shearer
    Former Newcastle striker on BBC One

    You have to give huge credit to Roberto Martinez for the way he's changed his team - Fellaini has stiffened up the midfield and he's playing De Bruyne further forward with Hazard and Lukaku wide. That front of three have caused all kinds of problems. They deserve this lead, they've been magnificent.

  5. Earlier today...published at 19:51 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    France reached the semi-finals by easing past Uruguay earlier today, with the winner of Brazil and Belgium going on to face them.

    Brazil have to change. Whether it's personnel or tactics. Belgium look so comfortable, they are defending the width of the 18-yard-box and clearing every cross that comes in.

    Here is the chance.

    Philippe Coutinho playing the ball through the eye of a needle for Neymar in on goal.

    Nope, he has gone too soon. Offside.

    Neymar doesn't look fully fit. He jumps out of tackles anyway but he really got out of the way with the last one.

    Brazil seeing lots of the ball in the last couple of minutes, but are going absolutely nowhere.

    How do they breach that big, red wall?

    Can Brazil nick one before half-time? Would set the second half up veryyy nicely.

    No greater tribute to Casemiro than how much worse Brazil and Real Madrid play when he's not there.

  14. 'Kompany meant that backheel'published at 19:43 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Brazil 0-2 Belgium

    Pat Nevin
    Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 live

    If Brazil lose another goal now before half time, psychologically they will be destroyed. Vincent Kompany meant that backheel and his run was absolutely superb.

  15. CLOSE!published at 42 mins

    Brazil 0-2 Belgium

    Vincent Kompany showing some samba skills.

    The Belgium defender back flicks a strike at the front post from Nacer Chadli's corner, but Alisson makes the save.

    That would have been a stunner.

  16. CLOSE!published at 41 mins

    Brazil 0-2 Belgium

    Nearly.

    Kevin de Bruyne curls the free-kick over the wall, but Alisson skirts across to tip the ball over the crossbar.

  17. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Brazil 0-2 Belgium

    Eden Hazard is shoved over on the edge of the box and Belgium have a free-kick.

    Chance for another, Kevin de Bruyne over it...

  18. Postpublished at 39 mins

    Brazil 0-2 Belgium

    Brazil have not touched the ball for about five minutes.

    Belgium are toying with them, Eden Hazard is pulling out all the tricks.

  20. 'Superb defensive display'published at 19:39 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 live

    I think Brazil are playing very well and they are creating chances. They are getting to the byline time and again and they are getting crosses in, but it's a superb defensive display by the Belgians so far.
