Belgium’s win over Japan: A World Cup comeback not seen in almost half a century
To understand how a team in the World Cup is capable of recovering after being down 2-0 in the knockout stage, we must go back almost half a century ago to the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.
In a quarterfinal clash played in the city of Leon, West Germany — with stars like Beckenbauer, Müller, Seeler and Berti Vogts — came back and won 3-2 against England, which had Boby Charlton and Geoff Hurst in the starting eleven.
