What a day that was yesterday in Russia. Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 behind a goal and an assist from Neymar. It was Mexico’s 7th consecutive World Cup making the round of 16 and losing their first knockout match and the 7th consecutive quarterfinals or better appearance for Brazil.
Then Japan and Belgium took center stage. The game went to halftime tied 0-0 before Japan stunned the viewing public scoring two quick goals to open up the second half in the 48th and 52nd minute. Belgium’s Roberto Martinez makes a double substitution and brings in Marouane Fellaini and Nacer Chadli and the game changes.
