Sup SteemSquad
So the world cup has kicked off and many steemians are getting in on the action with prediction score games, reviews of the games, opinions of who they think will win it and who they are supporting for the tournament and it's really livened up my feed which has been pretty slow as of late.
I've been going through tons of World cup content on the site and I didn't see much love for stand out players for each game and I thought it would be a cool series of posts to run with for the next month.

England vs Belgium
The red devils cruised to a victory against England who offered very little in trying to break down the Belgian defence and eventually fell victim to some incredible counter-attacking football. Belgium will be delighted at a third-place finish, a bit of a consolation prize but it's still their best result at a World Cup - This was obvious in the manner in which Martinez and his assistant Thierry Henry celebrated with their players at full-time.
The man of the match had to be their captain Eden Hazard who ran the show for Belgium against England and was rewarded for his efforts with a fine second goal to close off the tie.
He was excellent through out the tournament with the Chelsea forward has been involved in seven World Cup goals for Belgium (four goals and three assists) - since 1966, no player has been involved in more.
