FIFA World Cup Semi-final preview and highlights
France vs Belgium at St Petersburg, Russia on Tuesday, July 10, 2018.
People from across the globe seem to have more belief in Belgium than the locals do. Various media had a lot of positive things to say about Belgium after their win over Brazil. Here is the one from Globo Esporte: “This team goes to the semi-final with the status of favourites for the title. It is a mature team ready to make it. Against Japan, their main challenge will be to prevent France,s Mbappe having space, but it should not be a problem as this team seems capable of reinventing itself.”
The Red Devils are certainly good Ambassadors. Most of them speak three languages, but Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku and Vincent Kompany speak at least five according GhanaSky.com report through FIFA.
Croatia vs England – Moscow (Luzhniki), Russia on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.
Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic is a clever and resourceful boss who is getting the best out of a talented group of Croatian stars.
