Belgium's Wilmots would welcome Brazil clash

In Kobe, Japan, 12 years ago, Wilmots captained a Belgium side that went down 2-0 to Brazil, who were coached by Scolari, in the round of 16 and he also had a goal controversially ruled out.

With Brazil through to the last 16 in 2014 and Wilmots' team guaranteed a place in the same stage, the two could meet during the knockout rounds.

"I would be pleased to see my friend Scolari another time. It will be a great thing. You can never anticipate the future," he said.

"A history came to the end in 2002 during a World Cup. We've been eliminated against Brazil and 12 years later on the same day I am here another time.

"To be here in Brazil, even if you dream about, you cannot realise it is will really happening. It was not really a dream for me.

"However, I would be happy to play the Brazil team again. I do not know when."
