Great run from Lukaku, too strong, and what a finish from De Bruyne. Can’t place that any better

Imagine standing off De Bruyne, a player with a shot like that

Lukaku/Hazard/De Bruyne. So much fun to watch.

Fernandinho really can't fill in the void left by Casemiro. The team play by Belgium is fabulous

This is magnificent stuff from the Belgians, but Brazil have so much attacking talent. Feels like they will still score.

I wonder how fit Douglas Costa is. Always a great sub to bring on, especially as the opposition tires.
Wonder if he'd have won a starting spot by now if he didn't get injured

Belgium is getting better as the game has gone on. They looked shaky at first, but Brazil hasn’t generated anything of quality in a while. Not looking good.

It’s looking more likely of a Belgium goal IMO. They’ll get nipped on the counter. Brazil can’t get through.

Brazil thankful for the halftime whistle.

Neymar not rolling around ?
tough to count Brazil out. 0-2 is nothing when you have Neymar.

Brazil on an all out constant attack. Sooooo many chances. It feels like the game should be like 5-1 Brazil.

Belgium holding on for dear life. It's important not to let Brazil score that first goal. If they do, anything goes, they could score 2-3 more. Belgium trying to hold the door shut.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed.
