Day -70 WorldCup2018
More from Mexico 1986. Belgium were the surprise team, not just for how far they got but for how unexpected it was after a very slow start. They lost their opening match against Mexico, scraped past Iraq 2-1 and drew with Paraguay. They qualified as one of the best third place teams and went on to beat Russia in the last sixteen and Spain in the quarterfinals, both on penalties.
But Belgium are probably best remembered for being on the receiving end of another couple of moments of Maradona genius in the semifinal. After his mesmerizing goal against England he put on another show against the Belgians.
