bundesliga side hoffenheim great to have you with us today now it was an incredible match between the hosts russia of course and croatia on saturday crow i trow asia coming out on top can they go all the way what do you think you think they played a brilliant two women so for loop expression in the group stage very strong for looking at the last two games in the knockout stage they did have their problems they had to go all the way in the penalty shoot out twice but here i mean they have a brilliant scored looking at motivating drug at each round madrid barcelona are absolutely world class players and those are the taking sides of this month to kitchen of their city beach looks very very strong so i think yes they do came through in the way but it's a very difficult game of course against informing absolutely you know talking about that much against england in the semifinals here sweden of course what do you make of gareth southgate side. well i'm very surprised positively surprised i think so skate really is the the key fact that the three lions doing that well you know it's

a mix between experience and very very young players england for a long time seem to have a goalkeeper we speak for really doing well i think it was always one of these issues in english football that the goalkeeper makes mistakes at world cup level so far as absolutely outstanding but of course hurricane delhi belly like why are all very interesting players top class players and i think england is for me i know in a shaper they really can win the title all right well let's take a look at the other side of the jaw we've got from south facing belgium belgium who got past brazil what makes the belgian so dangerous over meets at the moment the best counter taking team in the world it's speed with froot loop could have so much temple on the wing specially when they win the ball in midfield to go directly up and actually counter-attack. they're really cold brazil very very cold and i really had brazil on the list to win the world cup but the belgians had the exact right

tactic and i think also martin is as the head coach doing a brilliant job really working with a different kind of tactic and i think he transformed the belgium side not just into a secret favorite now the chilean team which can challenge for the title that said for all slipped equally convincing against argentina and uruguay is this something that you can see in france is all snow which looks to be their weapon of choice very young but very very slowly though i think the mix between old and young players is perfect. they of course have reason but one of the most interesting players griezmann have to work closely with sports for me country in midfield he stick effective because he's the balance he's filling all the rooms all the pieces he runs the socks off and he's just the guy which is maybe the key factor against belgium side which is expression be on the side of the counter take dangerous so county will be the guy who would close that down and i think it's a very open game fifty fifty i can't think of favorite all right but it has been an

incredible wild cup so far if enjoyed every moment but you have any moments that were just your favorite yes i think the whole situation where russia was like the laughingstock of their own country nobody had them on the list to actually go anywhere and suddenly the whole country is behind them the performed outstanding church yourself did a great job but i think russia became a footballing country during that vote cup and i think that was true in the stadium the way the stadiums are built the whole world cup so for is a fairy tale and i'm actually very very proud that russia menage that the spite all the critics that you take before the tournament well that fairy tale is of course at this time around so here's your pick to lift the trophy i would go for england because i have a bit of england in my heart so let the three lions actually win the title they were waiting for a long long time right music why is this fantasy have thank you very much indeed well in formula one sebastian vettel has edged out title rival lewis hamilton at
