First finals? The fight between Belgium and Brazil puts an end to one of the favorites

In the second quarter of this year's world championships, the five-time champions of Brazil and the black horse of the Belgian tournament will face each other. Both are among the favorites for the overall gain. On Friday at 20:00 CEST in Kazan, it will also be the best offensive against one of the two best defenders of the "canary" tournament.

The Brazilians, led by Neymar, want to fight for the first final in 16 years. The quarter-finals were seventh at the time they dropped Mexico 2-0. The Americans fought furiously against their favorite but broke their goals Neymara and Robert Firmin. "Selecao" has managed eight clean hands in the last nine contests and has managed a series of 15 games without losing.

In this respect, Belgium is even better, the last 23 duels have not played a single time. Moreover, in the round of 16, she became the first team in the last 48 years, which allowed to pass the phase of elimination of 0: 2. "Red Devils" played against Japan with two goals in 68 minutes, but in the next five equalized thanks to the heads of Jan Vertonghen and Marouane Fellaini and in the final seconds decided after a quick break Nacer Chadli.

Even Brazil wants to be offended by its offensive strength in particular. In four duels, they have already scored twelve goals, but the "Canary" has only one in the same amount. Only Uruguay has such a balance in the tournament. In addition, the Brazilians have won the last three games against Belgium, but more recently in 2002.
