The 8th match of the 2014 World Cup 1/8 finals will be played at the Xinshui Stadium, and Belgium will face the newcomer Central American football hegemon United States.

The last time the two teams met at the World Cup was in 1930, when the United States beat Belgium 3-0, but now that time has passed, the Americans obviously can't talk about that game more than 80 years ago.

Although there is no shortage of upsets in this World Cup, when the Americans crashed into the arms of the Belgians, people have reason to believe that their good days are over, and it may only be imagined to overcome the difficulties of Belgium.

Belgium pressed hard after the opening, less than a minute into the opening, De Bruyne passed the ball in the midfield, Hazard's shot on the right side of the penalty area was saved by Howard, and Degan followed up with the shot, perhaps because he was too excited, Digan's shot actually hit the post directly, which made the Belgians, who were originally ready to celebrate, can only smile helplessly.

Seeing that his shot didn't go in, Degan probably didn't expect it, and even rubbed his eyes, and then spread his hands, looking a little embarrassed.

The next ten minutes of the game was completely a half-court offensive and defensive drill of the Belgians, and under the leadership of Digan, the United States team was completely suppressed in their half, if it wasn't for the excellent performance of goalkeeper Howard, I am afraid that before the end of the first half, their goal would have been beaten into a sieve.

The game was not played until the twentieth minute, the United States had their first decent attack, Dempsey crossed the ball from the wing, the ball hit Pokolinho's leg and bounced off the bottom line, the United States won a corner kick, but Dempsey's corner, although Cameron preempted Vermaelen, the header was far away, but the United States team did not respond in time.

Bradley then broke through with the ball and was poked out by Vincent Kompany, and Dempsey's shot from the edge of the box was parried by Courtois.

In the 22nd minute, Alderweireld assisted the front of the pitch and his long-range shot was saved by Howard, and this time Digan did not miss another chance, he left the defender behind him, pounced on it, and went straight to the ground to tackle the goal.

1：0！

It was Digan's eighth goal at the World Cup in Brazil and continues to lead the scorers' charts.

Just a minute later, Vertonghen passed the ball after a steal in the midfield, De Bruyne crossed from the left rib of the penalty area, Digan answered in the middle, saw that he was caught by the opponent, deliberately missed, and Lukaku, who followed up at the far post, pushed and scored again.

2：0！

The Belgian team's attack is like this, or they don't score, and once they knock on the opponent's defense, then the goal will be like a tidal wave, directly breaking down the opponent's defense.

In the 26th minute, Belgium almost extended their lead again, Hazard tried to cross from the left side of the penalty area, Deegan judged the landing point of the ball, and was about to jump up to head the goal, at this time, the United States defender Beasley suddenly rushed in front of Degan, jumped high and made a crucial interception.

Beasley's defence was beautiful, but Belgium's attack did not stop there, and in the 29th minute, De Bruyne passed the ball and Hazard's low shot in front of the box was met by Howard.

In first-half stoppage time, Eden Hazard crossed the ball wide and Degan headed it back on the line of the box, and De Bruyne followed up with a long-range shot that Howard made another brilliant save.

At the end of the first half, Belgium led 2-0 and the two sides went into halftime.

In the 47th minute, De Bruyne crossed with the outside of his right instep, and Digan carried the opponent's defender and nodded the ball in front of the goal, which was barely lifted off the crossbar by Howard.

In the 52nd minute, Fellaini received a return pass from Degan outside the box and fired a long-range shot wide.

Two minutes later, Vertonghen crossed from the left, but the outflanked Kevin De Bruyne and Degan both missed the ball.

In the 56th minute, Alderweireld crossed from the right, and Digan headed the ball near the penalty spot, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line.

In the 57th minute, De Bruyne passed, Degan's shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Howard with his legs, and then Alderweireld crossed diagonally from the right, and Lukaku's volley from the left side of the penalty area was slightly wide of the far corner.

When the game came to this point, everyone could see that the American team was completely out of play, they also wanted to attack and counterattack, but the problem was that under the strong offensive pressure of the Belgian team, they didn't have this opportunity at all, and they could only support it hard, but even so, the goal of the American team still looked shaky.

In the 60th minute, Pocolinho assisted in the front field, forced a cross from the left side of the penalty area, Digan shot with a close-range backheel, Howard was completely defenseless, and when he found the football flying towards the goal, he had no chance to stop it.

3：0！

"The U.S. team performed very well in the previous group stage, but unfortunately in the face of the strong defending champion Belgium, they don't seem to have any room to fight back, all they can do is to work hard, you can't say that the U.S. team is weak, you can only say that Belgium's strength is too strong!"

Although there was still half an hour left in the game, and the American team had always been synonymous with tenacity except for Germany, at this time, no one believed that they still had a chance.

Even U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann didn't think his team could come back and win, and when Deegan scored the third goal, he just shook his head and returned to the dugout, the difference in quality between the two sides was too great.

In the 78th minute of the game, Digan was replaced by François, and the stands of the entire stadium burst into thunderous applause.

Although Digan was substituted, the U.S. team's last-minute counterattack still failed to have the effect they expected, and the final score of 3:0 was maintained until the end of the game, the U.S. team said goodbye to the World Cup in Brazil, and the Belgians had to move on, and their next opponent will be Messi's Argentina team!

Last season's Champions League final was the last time Deegan and Messi met on the pitch, and now a year later, the two men met again on the World Cup stage.

In the last World Cup, the two teams were divided into the same group, that game, the Belgian team that appeared in advance, in the game with Argentina hidden a number of main players, and finally the two teams were tied, and now four years have passed, and the two teams met again in the 1/4 finals of the World Cup.
