Belgium’s defender, Vincent Kompany says Brazil is the best team at the FIFA World Cup, but they are not losing any sleep at the prospect of playing them.

Roberto Martinez's Belgium will come up against five‑time winners Brazil tomorrow for a place in the semi‑finals.

Kompany says individually, Brazil is the strongest team in this World Cup.

Kompany who has 79 caps for his country says this is a compliment but it doesn't affect their chances against them and none of them are going to sleep at night thinking: They have already lost to Brazil'.

Manchester City defender Kompany said although Belgium boast their own outstanding individual players such as Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne, the only way they will beat Brazil is to play as a team.

Kompany also spoke about discussions that took place before their last group match against England.

In the quarter-finals, Belgium will play Brazil at 6am tomorrow while France will play Uruguay at 2am.

England takes on Sweden at 2am Sunday while Russia and Croatia will play at 6am Sunday.
