Dyer from England made a very good shot to the goal of the Belgians in the 2nd half, and Courtois didn't take the ball, BUT Toby Alderweireld, could kick the ball away just before the goalline.
Later on some good shots from the Belgians, like Meunier nearly making his 2nd.
But Eden Hazard a bit later (of before) made the 2nd goal for Belgium ! And there's 1 phase that if it would have been a goal, would be the best of the tournament again Meunier but 5 players were involved with terrific passes).
End of the game 2-0 for Belgium. BTW : Also this was a kinda "derby" just like the match against the French was a derby (Note there's only 30 km or so of northsea between Belgium and England).
Now a little "cérémonie protoculaire." there will come in St.-Petersburh.with the reaching out of the medals for 3 rd place BRONZE =>
worldcup
2018 ! And won 6 on 7 matches in the whole tournament, only lost from France. I saw the "cérémonie protocolaire", and first the referees got a medal, and coach Roberto Martínez, then the Belgian players and the staff (including the famous Thierry Henry, who played for France (yes, France), some years ago in 4 Worldcups, and in all the wordcupmatches (also before the actual tournaments) he played 54 matches, the most of everybody in French history). On French television, before the match against France, there was some criticism against that. But of course Martínez, just had been clever by taking him as T3 in the staff. He was very important according to several players, and certainly Martínez.
(The english ones will also get a kinda medal (what colour/metal I don't know ?), but that will probably happen later somewhere after the match, on fthe field (but I didn't see that) or at their hotel or in the catacombes of the stadium. .
The Belgians will be tomorrow probably in Belgium Brussels on the big beautiful market, showing their medals on the balconny of the townhall and furthermore and before a PARADE through Brussels ! With a lot of fans present probably ! And of course will be in the townhall King Phillie and Matchilde.and probably their children.
It's the first time in history they reach 3rd place. So they did it better then the generation 1986 (who became 4th then in Mexico). Although the current team was very close to playing the final. Yet they showed to have played from the beginning to the end of the tournament that they did everything to win.
16 goals ! (A Televisionbrand in may promised that all buyers of a specific type before the tournament began in Russia, would get their money back if the Belgian Team would scoar 15 times...so they will have to pay ).
