Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has revealed that he is plotting to end Brazil's bid for a record-extending sixth World Cup ahead of their quarter-final at the Kazan Arena on Friday. However, the nation's 'Golden Generation' has also been reminded that the match against the favourites could represent the last chance for them to shine on the world stage. "It's a dream match for our players," Martinez told the Belgian press after sealing qualification for the last eight with a last-gasp 3-2 victory over Japan in the first phase of the knockout rounds. "There won't be many secrets to the game. We have to defend as well as we can and then punish them when we have the ball. It's that simple, and this team is ready for that." On paper, the Red Devils containing the talents of Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City and Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku have the potential to cause a World Cup upset.
