SOUNDBITE: (English) Simon Mignolet, Belgium goalkeeper:
"Everything here is necessary to train and to be ready for the game. We train in the morning then in the afternoon some players play a bit of golf - like myself as well. In the evening, I tend to go into the gym to keep myself busy as well. When you are not playing you have to make sure that you are always ready for when something happens. Therefore, I try to keep as busy as possible when I get time to do so. There's down time but on the other hand we try to keep busy as much as we can and the WiFi signal and all the amenities are there to make sure we keep in touch with back home."
SOUNDBITE (French) Kevin Mirallas, Belgium midfielder (On how the referee should protect players like Eden Hazard in game against USA):
"It's true that the referees since the beginning of the tournament are trying to protect the players who are technically strong. It's true it's never easy for the referees because there's a lot of contact in a World Cup, but I think since the beginning of the tournament there have not been many mistakes and I hope it will continue that way and that the referees will be physically well also.
