Sometimes, the World Cup turns the impossible into reality. Those inside Lumen Field, Seattle, on Wednesday can attest to that as Belgium staged one of the greatest comebacks ever witnessed on the international stage.
With 86 minutes on the clock, Belgium’s round of 32 clash with Senegal was over. Hotel bookings were being canceled and flights back to Europe organized as the Red Devils sat on the precipice, 2–0 down to its far superior opponent and readying itself for the fallout from another disastrous early exit at the World Cup.
