  • Belgium manager Roberto Martinez says he is wary of a Japan team with “incredible energy” ahead of Monday’s World Cup last-16 clash.

    The free-scoring Belgians go in as firm favourites, taking with them a 100 per cent record from the group phase and netting nine goals in beating Panama, Tunisia and England.

    With players like Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku at his disposal, Martinez’s team have more than enough quality to match their achievement at the last World Cup and secure a place in the quarter-finals, where Brazil could await.

    Here, we take a look into the tactical battle between Belgium and Japan ahead of their clash.
