So, Hungary come into this game in pretty good nick. Beat Austria comfortably, managed to battle back to get a point against a tricky Iceland side and gave Portugal a fair old game. They'll be high on confidence going into this game and could cause an upset.

Belgium are also starting to find their feet, after a poor first game against Italy, they have now won 2 games without conceding. They look far better with the Donkey Fellaini out of the team and a 3 of Hazard, De Bruyne and Carrasco supporting Lukaku.

Can Belgium build on their 2 wins and see off Hungary, or can Hungary spring something of an upset?

I'm intrigued by this game, Belgium are obviously the clear favorites but Hungary have been very good winning their group ahead of Portugal despite being massive under dogs. The question is can they take this into the knock out phases, or will Belgium's big game players prove to be too much. Belgium have got better after their defeat to the Italians winning their final two group games without conceding, I think they'll continue to improve and win this 2-0.

I like this Hungary team, but Belgium are looking incredibly good. They aren't looking nearly as beatable as I hoped!

I can't believe Belgium have only scored 1 in that first half they look insanely good except their finishing, the pyjama wearing Hungary keeper is keeping them in it bigtime.

I like Hungary, they play some really nice football. Not just stick 11 men behind the ball, lump it up and hope for the best like a lot of teams in this tournament. Giving this a good go

They were made to look a bit better than they actually are I think because Hungary, to their credit in some ways, were happy to keep coming forward. Wales will make it a lot more difficult for them.

Media will get back on the Belgium hype train now after them beating a side who played ridiculously open and gave them about 20 clear cut chances in the game and have a 40 year old keeper who actually played very well. We did a job on them twice in the qualifiers, definitely capable of doing it again.

Already beat them a few months ago. I'm beginning to worry about playing Germany in the final.

That was a good performance from Belgium but Hungary played that into their hands, they've definitely impressed at this tournemant though and think 4-0 was a little harsh on them. Belgium seem to be growing with every game though and their route to the final looks very favorable, some great individual performances and the quality they have in the squad is huge.
