World Cup 2018: The best player from each group - Round 2

Group G

A breath of fresh air on the pitch

Group G saw both of its favorites demolish their way to big (very big) wins, as Belgium destroyed Tunisia 5-2, while England made light work of Panama in a 6-1 destruction. A lot of attackers shown in this game, but the "best" player from here was undoubtedly Eden Hazard.

While Kane got 3 goals (2 penalties and one through sheer luck), and Romelu Lukaku got two as well, it was Eden Hazard who stole the limelight during Belgium's performance. The Chelsea midfielder was all over the Tunisian defense and midfield, making loops around the players who had no idea how to stop him.

It also did not help that Tunisia came into the match with an attacking mindset, and whatever plan they had backfired, and spectacularly. After a foul in the box awarded a penalty to Belgium, Hazard calmly finished off the ensuing penalty for Belgium's second goal.

The second goal was created from De Bruyne in midfield, who found Hazard with a delicious lobbed ball, and Hazard fought his way between two defenders, rounded the keeper and then fired into the open net before leaping in joy.

The match between Belgium and England in the final group match will decide the standings, and Roberto Martinez has already informed the press of injuries to some key players.

Will Belgium lose and thereby take an easier path to the finals? Or will they risk their players against England to show the world what they're capable of?
