00:03Belgium is headed into the World Cup quarterfinals after thrashing the US in a 4-1 win, a match
00:09marked by controversy over FIFA's decision to lift USA's star forward for Lauren Balogun's
00:14one-game suspension.
00:18Balogun ultimately had little impact on the outcome as Belgium dominated with two goals
00:23in the first half by Charles de Ketelare, a third from Hans van Acken in the second
00:27half and a final goal in stoppage time by substitute Romelu Lukaku.
00:32I'm feeling great man, we finally delivered as a team, we came together and we knocked
00:38it out.
00:40It's just very emotional, you know, when we scored the goal and tied it, I'm not gonna
00:45lie man, I had a little tear in my eye, I'm like okay we can do this, but Belgium showed
00:52up, they played a better game plan than we did.
00:55We didn't have our touch, we didn't have our flow, it just hurt.
01:01Belgium will face Spain in the quarterfinals on Friday after they defeated Portugal 1-0 earlier
01:07in the day.
01:08With the Portuguese defence seemingly holding off Spain's attack closing in on extra time,
01:14Spain's Mikel Moreno finally scored in stoppage time just minutes after entering play as a substitute.
01:34Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo said before the match that it would be his last time playing
01:39for Portugal at the World Cup.
01:41The furthest he ever went in the tournament was the semi-finals in his 2006 debut.
01:45Great Inqu الخ.
01:46We do love you.
