Lovely delivery by Coutinho for that goal. Belgium are creaking a little, but they are still ahead and still dangerous on the break.
Brazil are looking really confident, but they don't have much time left.

No, but my point was that the referee might have been less likely to give it any credibility given Neymar's earlier antics.
Mesmerized sitting at a nice Italian place, nearly empty as everyone is either at the fanzone or the more traditional pubs. Enjoying my Italian amber beer by the river and watching on my iPhone.
That's two that Brazil should have scored since Martinez decided to bunker. Could they really go out due to bad finishing?
EDIT: Ha, this Sebian ref is on to Neymar...he's not falling for his nonsense.
Yeah that might be true. I won’t call the no call unfair, but I do believe it was a penalty.
His ability to hold up the ball snd draw fouls is world class, and that is exactly what Belgium need right now. he has velcro on his feet.
Good grief, Neymar should apply for a place in the Ballet Russes such is his balletic grace going down and springing back up.
I am coming to detest the man. And the team.

What a save from Courtois!
And that is it. Brazil Out!!!!

I am with you, but I think Brazil were the better team for entire second half. It was the missed chances that cost them.
Congrats to Belgium. They deserve it. My pick for the whole thing.
Belgium won, well deserved.
And Brazil looked like dying swans in Belgium’s Box

Oh got you! Well everyone has had one those in this tournament. No need for anyone to say unfair. Belgium deserved this.
If they played football (as they are well capable of doing) instead of seeking to stumble and stagger with a gossamer touch, along with the dramatic facial expressions and thespian skills of a silent movie star, I might have a bit more sympathy. As it is, I have none.
But, Brazil as demigods - no: This s not the 70s and 80s any longer. This is an altar at which I decline to worship.
I'm delighted that they are out.
Well done Belgium.
Time for a Belgian beer I think! Well played sorry for all my Brazilian friends but I hope the team wake up. Maybe even Neymar?? Ahh no.
