Two strong teams like Brazil and Belgium will play in Kazan for the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup. The brasilians comes from eliminating Mexico in the round of 16, while the Belgians beat Japan in the last round.
After the surprise early elimination of some teams that were
candidates to win the 2018 Football World
Cup in Russia, such as Germany, Spain or Argentina, Brazil is planted as the main favorite to lift the trophy in
Russia. With the brilliant figure of Neymar and several complementary talents
such as Coutinho, Paulinho and Willian, Brazil equalized 1-1 in their match
against Switzerland to then add another two triumphs in the group stage, 2-0 to
Costa Rica and 2-0 against Serbia, and then take the victory in the round of
16, also by two goals. As the main candidate and before his first great rival
of Europe in this FIFA World Cup,
Brazil is going for its sixth World Cup.
After losing 2-0 to Japan in the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup, the Belgians resurfaced
in time to turn the game around and prevail 3-2. The team coached by Spanish
Roberto Martinez secured a place among the eight best teams in Russia and now
bets to break a record: the fourth position that was the best historical
position of this selection in a World Cup. With Lukaku at the head, they were
the team that scored the most goals so far in the World Cup and won all their
matches: 3-0 to Panama, 5-2 to Tunisia, 1-0 to England and 3-2 to Japan. In the
hope of not being eliminated again in the quarterfinals, as happened in the
last World Cup, Belgium collides
with the favorite in its earlier end.
In their second historic match in a Football World Cup, Brazil
and Belgium will play in Kazan for
the quarterfinals. With the record in their favor in the only crossing in the
World Cup of Korea-Japan 2002, the Brazilians are again the candidates to win.
