Okay, I need to write an original article about Belgium's performance in the 2018 World Cup. Let me start by recalling what happened. Belgium had a strong team with players like Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku. They made it to the third place, right? First, the introduction should set the scene. Mention the tournament was in Russia, and Belgium's squad was considered one of the favorites. Highlight their third-place finish as a historic achievement. I should also include the FIFA+ link where people can watch for free, as that's part of the context provided. Next, the group stage. Belgium was in Group G with England, Tunisia, and Panama. They won all three matches. Against Panama, they got a 2-1 win with Hazard scoring. Then England 3-0, and Tunisia 5-2. Highlight their goal-scoring and key players here. Then the knockout stages. Round of 16 against Japan. Belgium won 3-2 in extra time. Lukaku scored a brace, and Eden Hazard had a goal and assist. Quarterfinals against Brazil was intense, 2-1 with Lukaku scoring and Hazard scoring the winner. Semifinals against France, which they lost 1-0 after extra time, with Lloris saving a penalty. Then the third-place playoff against England, which they won 2-0. Mention the 16 goals they scored in the tournament. I should include some standout performances. Players like Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, and others. Maybe mention the teamwork and the coach's strategy. The context mentions Samuel and Romelu, so I should include them in the highlights. Also, the context has some links and disclaimers about not owning the rights. I need to include those at the end, probably in a paragraph after the main content. The subscription link for RTBF Sport is there too. Make sure to mention the FIFA+ link a couple of times as per the context. Check for word count. The article should be between 600-900 words. Each section needs to be concise but informative. Use h2 and h3 headings for structure. Avoid unsupported claims, so stick to facts like the scores, players, and tournament progression. Wait, the user wants the article in HTML but without markdown. So I need to use h2, h3, p, ul, ol, li, strong, em tags. No markdown fences. Also, make sure to include the FIFA+ link in the context. Let me structure the headings accordingly. Introduction with h2. Then sections on group stage, knockout stages, third-place finish, standout players, and conclusion. Each of these can be h3 or h2. Include the FIFA+ link in the intro and maybe in a conclusion as a call to action. Also, add the disclaimers about not owning rights and the RTBF Sport subscription link at the end. Let me check the word count as I go. Each paragraph should be around 100-150 words. Make sure to use natural language and avoid being too technical. Mention the film about the Red Devils' journey in Russia as per the context. Double-check the key points: third place, 16 goals, players like Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, the matches against Japan, Brazil, France, and England. The film and the streaming details. Alright, time to put it all together in HTML structure with the required tags.
