FIFA WORLD CUP SEMI-FINAL, Fabulous France Avoid Failure, Belgium Headed Back.
The FIFA World Cup 2018 has been filled with upsets. May it be Italy failing to qualify, Germany failing to cross the group stage, Spain getting swamped by the home crowd in the Round of 16 or almost everyone’s favourite, Brazil getting knocked out in the Quarterfinals. The FIFA World Cup 2018 made the football fans throughout the globe go through a rollercoaster of emotions, starting from ecstasy and going all the way till sheer pain but that’s the beauty of the tournament, isn’t it?
In a world where every reputed football team was being brought down by yet another upset, France did not disappoint. Didier Deschamps’ men, defeated the mighty Belgians in a one-nil thriller to get a spot in the final. With this, Didier is all set to be the third person who might win the FIFA World Cup, both as a player and a manager. Before Didier, Mario Zagallo (Brazil) and Franz Beckenbauer (Germany) won the World Cup as both a player and manager.
The Les Blues took time in setting a firm grip on the tournament and started their campaign with a quite a few nervy victories but as the tournament progressed, they picked up steam towards the later stages of the tournament and ended up with a graceful one-nil victory over the mighty Belgians, who although had a fantastic run so far in the tournament might have to settle for third place provided they defeat England.
The French are all set to play Croatia, who have had an amazing world cup season so far on 15th July 2018 at 8:30 PM IST.
