If this World Cup has taught us anything, it is that Belgium always find a way to score. With 14 goals to their name, the Belgian team is the highest scoring side of the tournament.

Main man Romelu Lukaku has scored four of Belgium's 14 and is probably the only player in the tournament who can catch the World Cup's current leading goalscorer - England captain Harry Kane.

Belgium, however, have not depended only on the Lukaku for goals. Hazard, De Bruyne, and Dries Mertens have all popped up with goals in the tournament. Even defender Jan Vertonghen and reserve players Januzaj, Chadli, Fellaini, and Batshuayi have scored when Belgium needed them to.

Confidence will be high and the first of the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup can surely expect to see some goals.
