Eden Hazard eager for Belgium progress at World Cup

Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard reveals that he is keen for his country to reach the latter stages of this summer's World Cup.

Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard has revealed that he would like his country to reach the semi-finals or the final of this summer's World Cup.

The Belgians went unbeaten in qualifying to book their place in Brazil, where they have been pitted in Group H alongside Algeria, Russia and South Korea.

While admitting that he is uncertain how he and his national teammates will fare in South America, Hazard hopes they can reach the latter stages of the tournament.

"It's Belgium's first World Cup in 12 years, we want to do it for the country, it's very important," he told Chelsea's official website.

"We have a young team but a very good one. I don't know where we will finish but I would like us to reach the semi-final or the final because with such a young team it will be great for our confidence."

Hazard has scored five goals in 43 games for Belgium.
