Courtois expects "difficult game" against Argentina

Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has said that his side will face a difficult match against Argentina in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

The Red Devils booked their place in the last eight of the tournament following a 2-1 win against the USA in Salvador.

Should Belgium win their next match, then they could face the Netherlands in the semi-finals, but Courtois has said that his team are not planning that far ahead.

"Argentina are a really good side, it will be very difficult game," he told BBC Sport. "We are not thinking about the semi-finals. We will just play that game and hopefully we can all give 110%."

Belgium will be making their first appearance in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 28 years this Saturday.
