Pregame thoughts
This is the best of South America against the best of the # Europe for the semi-finals. Brazil overtook Mexico to reach the quarter-finals, while Belgium beat Japan with a winning goal in injury time, becoming the first team to win a knockout World Cup game after scoring in the quarter-finals. minus two goals since 1970.
anticipation in this round for both parties. Everyone participated in the tournament among the favorites of the title, and nothing has changed these expectations here. Brazil is the favorite of the forecasters to win the championship, and Belgium is not far behind, having scored 12 goals, three more than any other team. Their championship pedigrees, however, are very different. Brazil, five-time champion, is in the quarter-finals for the seventh consecutive World Cup. Belgium has been so far only once since 1986 – and not beyond.
For Brazil, striker Neymar has hopes, but Paulinho and Philippe Coutinho combined for a brilliant attack that stretched the defenses. Seleção's game focused on possession
For Belgium, the Red Devils will fight for a share of the ball, which Brazil does not like to give up. Eden Hazard (two goals, two badists in three games) will be the key to keeping the camp at the hour in the offensive half. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will help direct the ball forward and keep the Red Devils connected to the field. The winner will face France, 2-0 winners of Uruguay on Friday, in a semi-final on Tuesday.

Players to Watch
For Belgium, all eyes will be on the offensive duo of Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku. They scored six goals between them, but more than scoring, the Red Devils rely on Hazard to hold the ball and control the tempo. Lukaku, on the other hand, draws defenders into the surface and opens secondary tagging options; his decision to pbad a dangerous pbad created Belgium's winning goal against Japan. Marouane Fellaini marked the crucial equalizer against Japan before that time. For Brazil, the answer is still Neymar . The global superstar is so highly integrated into the Brazilian game, he will receive the ball at almost any place on the pitch, even if he is an attacker. Once he gives the ball in the offensive half, he immediately seeks to recover it. It's hard to imagine Brazil advancing if Neymar fails to sneak onto the scoresheet.
