England and Belgium meet in a World Cup this Thursday (28) at 15h in Kaliningrad. This time, both play in a quieter situation than the 1990 World Cup, when the English won in the quarter-finals, with an epic goal, transformed by David Platt.
In this Cup of Russia, in the match valid for the first phase, both teams are ranked and are fighting only for the first position of Group G. To have fewer cards in this phase, England start the game in needing a draw.
Both teams plan to enter without any titles. The top scorer in England, Harry Kane, with 5 goals, can be saved for the next round. Similarly for the team player, midfielder Dele Alli, who recovered from a muscle injury to the thigh, must wait to return to the team in the decisive games.
But because Belgium has many players hung yellow card, the duel may not reflect the potential of the teams. Spanish coach Roberto Martinez has admitted to joining an alternative team because Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Meunier and Kavin De Bruyne have already received a card. Lukaku's top scorer, suffering from ankle pain, is also doubtful.
