Group H
Japan vs Belgium
The first goal, from Marc Wilmots, sparked this game into a frenzy and
the action didn't stop. Japan threw everything forward in the closing minutes that Belgium
hardly had a chance to catch their breath.
Tunisia vs Belgium
More was probably expected from Belgium, after they beat France in
Paris.... but maybe that was the sign that France were falling rather than Belgium were
rising.
Belgium vs Russia
At one time during this match Belgium were at risk of going out... but
they fought back to qualify for the Second Round, behind Japan.
Knockout Stage
Brazil vs Belgium (Second
Round)
Belgium took the game to Brazil and were unlucky to have have a Marc
Wilmots header disallowed in the 35th minute.
