mentally prepared and they deliver the job. so now i think based on a real time and they deserve to be respected, they certainly do what they conquered at the well, it's a number to rank side bout and they drew with semi finalists to croatia. they beats in spain and they've now beaten christiano without a support school at the atlas lions i believe. and so they should. and when i was helping anytime soon, i. 2 2 0 oracle and now face frosted, defending champions, going through to the semi final. after defeating england, it was france who sent who went ahead the in the 17th minutes it threw on show a minute curling his shots from outside the box. pos keeper jordan picked for the into the bottom corner. early in the 2nd half england were awarded a penalty. when buckeye osaka was filed in the box and harry kane equalized from the spot to level when rooney's england goal scoring record of 53. then came the

late drama, digital scoring to reclaim at the lead for france. but england had the chance to equalize it for the 2nd time when theo heard and as gave away another penalty. but this time kane scott, his strike and to the stance england couldn't manage to level things up. and france claimed a hard fought to on victory to keep alive their hopes of the coming the 1st nation since 1962 to successfully defend the world cup natasha. butler was watching with the fans in paris, with the mailbox of what again, i'm going to bring it up. now jeremy jeremy knows what a nice, what if anything i'm missing. i think you bring spent, you, did you think germany wasn't moving? good so much, chris? oh, good luck today. a to play with

voice rent yet. so i'm using like force. what do you think now you're going to make it always a semi finals, a final against marriage? a 2 man delivery word because lots of more think they are all born in france. so it's gonna be difficult. it's going to be a, it's the vehicle. i'm not sure that everything is open in the craner because the water bill, i don't know, i did not have happy people is you can see behind me everyone here now by taping the beat rock, even though there's a lot of them feeling okay here as well. so i've been thinking back through to the final and when i'm once again on that's reflect on those 2 quarter final. so with our football on it one our angle and dom i saw that 1st of all we start with demo

morocco's around continues here and kata. were they lucky or did they deserve to go through? oh yes, they well deserve 3 in the front of suffolk and sabrina semi final say because they haven't conceived a goal in the whole tournament. only one goal against it was an own goal, a by canada, they have a great defense. they are very well organized and they have different resources to they. we have seen a more offensive moral coin and they knew when to take that they had the game much more count and they knew how to suffer. so let's you fellow to upgrade to the, to the coach or what he did. i agree it, he took the joke a few job a few months ago. he was able to pick some players that were not in the squad, the previous games. and that the talented group of international players that they are doing well, they are playing as lagossi and got that. i think that energy they can fully than they are taking a good job out there being a story colon. we'll see that the,

the sky is the limit on what about the europeans that france deserve to go through? they did enough. i mean, they, they did what they had to do. i mean, france is a team that can be pragmatic when they need to be and can be explosive when they want to be, so that you end up having a good balance in terms of, of that squad. the main storyline ended up being england wanting to shut down a, a gillian in by bit. but then all of a sudden you saw the other options come through the yearly reviews the show and he's being able to really express themselves and being able to really come through when did their t meter most. although england did have the respective arguments, in certain moments they had him on the ropes, didn't take advantage of him and against a team like france. you have to do that in order to be able to beat them. how do you think morocco is going to have a very, a tough task against t defending champions? how do you think that's gun ago? i again, you, you see, you see that's very solid defensively today with a jamica and comments us in the middle. really ended up being 2 stalwarts. you are

you. we have one of the best central defensive mid fielders in amber about who's just after we showed class and also very good aggressive football that has been able to really help this team spar on it and into the attacking game. so when you have that good mix, when you have a low block, when you have a good team that, that can really do well, is going to be a very tough, bona to cleaner ango. gen marcella. thank you very much for that. well, it's a world cup a rest day on sunday as a teens to prepare for the semi finals, but there are still plenty to look forward to here and cut on our team will have it all covered right here on august there. ah, ah, other news now ukrainian president, let him as lensky says, russian forces have destroyed the eastern city of buck moot. turning it into what he described as a burnt ruins, fighting has reportedly intensified around the city and that done yet, sc region,
