The Belgians head into the match having finished at the top of Group H with a maximum nine points.

"The most important thing is not to think about the future or let yourself get distracted," the 36-year-old defender told FIFA.com.
"We'll have all the time in the world to pick over everything afterwards. The World Cup is happening now and we have to rise to the challenge."
