a better side. they're very organized on and off the page. you can see how they took in the pressure against where to go yet, chris, gender know the, came on, i don't not by the door, mentally prepared and they delivered the job. so now i think they found a realtor 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 beat and spain and they've now beaten christiano without a support school at the atlas lions believe. and so they should and without stopping anytime soon. 1 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 shot from outside the box, pos keeper jordan pickford, into the bottom corner. early in the 2nd half england were awarded the penalty.

when buckeye osaka was filed in the box and harry kane equalized that from the spot to level when rooney's england goal scoring record of 53, then came the late drama, digital scoring to reclaim 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, describe 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 becoming the 1st nation since 1962. to successfully defend the walk up natasha. butler was watching with the fans in paris. with the mailbox. what again, i'm going to bring it up. now jeremy jeremy knows what a night, what he busy, i'm busy night. thank you for instant you. did you think you tell me?

was amazing day so much. oh, good luck today with a good mortgage. you're doing boyfriend? yeah, so i'm using like force. what do you think now you're going to make it always a semi final final. we're gonna do a 2 man delivery word because lots of more. thank you. all born in france. so it's gonna be good because it's going to be a, it's for oh so that everything is open in the craner because the water bill. i not a 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 not get here as well. so i've been making breakthrough to the

final and when i'm once again on that's reflect on those 2 quarter finals with our football 9. is there one that are angle and dom i saw that 1st of all, we start with demo morocco's around continues here and kata, where they lucky or did they deserve to go through. oh yes, they well deserve 3 in the front of suffolk. and sabrina's hemi fine, i would say, because they haven't conceived a goal in the whole tournament. only one goal against it was an own goal. hey, by canada, they have a great defense. they are very well organized and they have different resources to they. we have seen 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 you fell out of grade 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 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, but it, 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 him 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 t defending champions? how do you think that's going to go?

i again, you, you see that's very solid defensively. did a, with a jamica and comments us in the middle. really ended up being 2 stalwarts. you are, you know, we have one of the best central defensive mid fielders in, but 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 bone to chew clena, rango, gemma, so there, thank you very much for that. well, it's a world cup a rest day on sunday as a teams to 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 of right here on august there on moving on to other news now and protests continue across period, even after the new leader dinner, palatez has sworn and her cabinet. police have been out in force as support as if,
