Belgium captain Thomas Briels had promised to do a special dance routine if his team won the World Cup and he kept his promise with a jig at the post-match press conference yesterday.

The Belgians kept their promise to teammate Simon Gougnard, who had lost his father less than 36 hours before the final, by beating the Netherlands 3-2 via shootout to clinch their maiden World Cup. After a fast-paced and skillful goalless finale, it was all square after five shootout attempts too, but not without its share of drama. Belgium's Arthur De Sloover thought he had scored off the last attempt and won the World Cup. The entire Belgian camp celebrated too. However, a video referral taken by the Netherlands' super 'keeper Pirmin Blaak proved that the goal was incorrectly scored, and the sudden death ensued.
