Both Belgium and England secured their passage through to the Round of 16, where they will face Japan and Colombia, respectively.

"The match against England was tough, but I'm happy that we won. There are no weak opponents at the knockout stage, so there was not actually so important whom to face. I do not think that the first round of the knockout stage will be much easier for us than for England. However, they will face (Colombia forward Radamel) Falcao. Everyone knows how dangerous he is in the penalty spot," Fellaini told journalists.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia
