off belgium and spain, morocco, slay. and now the european giant portugal historic moment for african football as well with the continent finally getting its 1st semi finalists in the woke up moral car on beaten, and cotton and have only conceded that one goal in this torment a great night for the plays and the fact that alpha mama stadium and watching the game for us was gemma nash, who caught up with the supporters afterwards. i haven't made a history, has out the amount of stadium and the bus african side ever to reach a well caught semi final as you can imagine that funds are on cloud 9. let's with say, well that me finally. how did it it's only amazing. amazing. yeah, well it's, it's believable before before the tournament will start. we wouldn't believe that we're gonna re shoot you to the semi final tonight. i'm the mirage return to work.

we're stronger and how we have a great, a great job. all we have players who play in very professional level job before we couldn't do it, but now it's, there were okay, is there a space you'd be some portable use problem with croatia? do you really believe you can now little trick question. now we are on top of, we are really unstoppable. we didn't go, we believed that we can win, actually the lord, god, it's the actual african arab country that actually got to this point. and we have strong beliefs in what is the road in wound or is it we have an unbelievable on top of all team and we're going to end for the upcoming. do you feel like you have the whole arab world behind you get a chance, please? don't forget, we're below a dream. go ahead and this is the glory for all are of some rock on africa for all the people who lives in the middle east or off. we go,

now i think they found a real time and they deserve to be respected. they certainly do they concrete the well, it's a number to rank side bout and they drew with semi finalists to croatia. they've beaten spain and they've now beaten christiano without a support goal. the atlas lions believe and so they should not be anytime soon. 2 0 oh oracle and now face frosted, defending champions, going through to the semi final. after defeating england, it was france who sent who went to head in the 17th minutes it through on show money curling his shot 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, audio visual 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 cried his strike and to the stance england couldn't manage to level things up. and frank claimed a hard fought to on victory to keep alive their hopes of becoming the 1st nation since 1962. to successfully defend the walk up natasha butler was watching with the fans in paris. with it was a male bite of what again, i'm going to bring it over. now jeremy jeremy is what a nice. what do you believe? m as in mike, thank you. for instance, you did, you've been to, germany wasn't moving. good. so much. oh, good luck today. the tournament a play?

well, it wasn't good due invoice for it yet. so i'm using like force. what do you think now you're going to make it a final against marriage? a 2 military word because lots of more think male: all born in friends. so it's going to be difficult. it's going to be a place is going to be been worried for vehicle. oh so that everything is open in the water. i did not have happy b as 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 think they can go through to the final and wayne, we'll come what's going on. let's reflect on those 2 quarter final. so with our football 9 is there, one are angle. and tom, i saw that 1st of all,

we start with demo morocco's around continues here in kata, where they lucky or did they deserve to go through. oh yes, they well deserve 3 in the front of staff, the guns to win a 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, more coin and they knew when to take that they the game, much more count and they knew how to suffer. so let's you fellow to upgrade to the, to the go to wiley. today we, he took the job a 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 there you are doing well, they are playing as lagossi and got i think that energy they can feel it 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 but 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 their team meter most. although england did have the respective arguments, in certain moments they had them on the ropes, didn't take advantage of 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 defending champions? how do you think that's gun ago? i again, you use youtube. it's very solid defensively today with a jamica and comments us in the middle. really ended up being 2 stalwarts. oh you

are you. we have one of the best central defensive mid fielders in number 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 angle gemma. so there, thank you very much for that. well, it's a world cup a rest day on sunday as a teams prepare for the semi finals, but there's still plenty to look full a to here and cut on our team will have it all covered right here on out there. to other news and ukrainian president rodney lance, he says, russian forces have destroyed the eastern city of buckland, turning it into what he described as burnt ruins, fighting has reported. he intensified around the city and that and yet screech and that's after ukrainian force as recap to that nearly a month ago. now, savanski says the situation remains very difficult and several frontline cities in

one of those teammates earlier, i just wanted to put advising everybody to storing in the book credit doing that, they came back and got the penalty dog received early on in the 2nd office noble, the guy did or retired stories from source would respond. i didn't start doing, becoming english, old hard record goals. score along side worried. rudy and english really had frog on the right for a while because soccer really told the french depend all sorts of problems that while england couldn't take their chances are that, but i really should have gone wrong. what are the other rendered stored your libya, your room is hard to actually i did when i retired this to penalty lights in the 2nd off and i played very very well. it was a very, very tough game. i think we got to leave it lucky eventually like we made it so like relevant to disappoint you, but proud of your trade. yeah. yeah. yeah, they did. okay. yeah. yeah. think i'm good played while they did, they did their best and the noise just wasn't quite good. it was a no,

but played so well. they had so many talented, confident players. the manager saying it was up to them to stand up and be counted . i think most people it will feel they did just that the final moment they fell just short so alternatively dramatic game england out and a disappointed crowd it. well, meanwhile, though, fans of the atlas lines are roaring like never before where ocoee is the 1st african and fast arab team to reach the final 4 of the tournament. barbara and oprah has one hour on celebrations around the world. here as well, come from okay. and the team arrives sent the hotel and supposed come rune seneca and gordon the earlier, the african teams which, which the quarter finals in previous call. mm hm. and the explanation beforehand, casablanca is equal here in gaza, when the roughness, palestinian flags,
