Belgium Coach, Roberto Martinez has insisted that his team are ready for the huge challenge against Brazil ahead of their match tonight.

Martinez believes his players won't be intimidated when they take on the match.

"It is a big occasion, you can't hide that. If you try to hide it you're a bit of a stupid person," Martinez told reporters Thursday.

"We're as ready as we'll ever be, in the previous two years we've been working towards this moment.

"Brazil is ranked second in the world, we're number three, we know who we are and we know the magnitude of the game."

Striker Romelu Lukaku has also stated that Brazil are favourites but believes Belgium can reach the final of the World Cup for the second time in their history.

"We have prepared thoroughly as a team, we have a system we've been putting in place for two years now," said the Manchester United striker.

"As individuals, we've also improved. Everything is going smoothly, and it will be put to the test tomorrow. We play against the best team in the tournament, the favourites, so will be a good test to see where we stand as a team.

"I don't think it's the most important game [in my career], because if we win, then the game after that will be more important, won't it? It won't be easy, but we have the quality to make the difference."
