St Petersburg, July 10: The Cristiano Ronaldo transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus has just quaked the world. Now, let's move on to the FIFA World Cup 2018 and in the first semifinals France will take on Belgium.
Here MyKhel brings you the live action from a match that is expected to be racy and classy at the same time.
Good night/Good morning from the MyKhel team as we are ending the live coverage here. France are in final. We will be back with England vs Croatia tomorrow. But don't run away, stay on to read full report and comments. CIAO CIAO!
ROBERTO MARTINEZ: Belgium coach says: “It was a question of details. Unfortunately for us the difference was a deadball situation. The game was very close, very tight. It was going to be decided by whoever could find that final touch in the box or a bit of luck in front of goal. The effort from the players was magnificent, I couldn’t ask for more. In football you have to understand there are winners and losers but if you are going to lose, you do it while giving everything … Now we need to get rid of this disappointment and make sure we finish on a high. These players don’t deserve to leave the tournament with a bad taste."
