with two ties, the 2002 fifa world cup did not start well for belgium, but the team improved during the tournament. captain marc wilmots was notable for scoring in every match of the first round. belgium won the decisive group match against russia with 3–2 and in the second round they had to play against eventual champions brazil. in this 1/8th final, referee peter prendergast disallowed a headed goal by wilmots that would have given belgium a 0–1 lead, after a "phantom foul" on roque júnior. eventually brazil won 2–0, but brazilian coach luiz felipe scolari admitted after this match that belgium was a tough edge and after the tournament he declared that the match against the red devils had been the hardest for brazil to win. with the world cup final still to go, the team did win the tournament's fair-play award. marc wilmots equalled the record of enzo scifo and franky van der elst by appearing in 4 world cup squads, although he did not play in his first world cup in 1990. wilmots also scored his 5th world cup goal against russia, which made him belgium's top scorer in world cup finals matches until the 2018 world cup when romelu lukaku also scored his 5th world cup goal.
