2:08 pm
third best team in the world already from dede always sports joins me now from moscow all e. i'm going to ask you both teams are certainly hoping to play in tomorrow's final and not today's third place match but surely they're looking to leave russia with a win. of course i think this place playoff is one of the weirdest events in sports you know these players have just missed out on what would have been the biggest game of their careers. because of that you actually get often a quite entertaining game in these third place playoffs because there are some real motivating factors like professional pride and simply not wanting to end what has been a successful world cup campaign on a low note by losing two games back to back and so the question really is who will be more affected by those motivating factors and who will be more affected by the disappointment of losing their semifinal well let's get some insight into that now by having
2:09 pm
a look at how both teams have been preparing. i belgium were demoralized after frost stopped them from reaching their first ever world cup final but just four days later the red devils need to shake off that disappointment and get ready for saturday's third place play off. this if you could simply for sure but. that's what. you have to do to restart the time. it's just part of the life of a football player you know you lose to next week you win so means we didn't put them to play for the. belgians best performance at the world cup was in one thousand nine hundred eighty six when they finished four for this time they want to go one better and only england stand in their way. and the three lions manager is raring to go. i'm not scared of anything away from the big bad wolf really we have high motivation to perform we have the chance to win a medal. at
2:10 pm
a world cup which only one other english team has ever done the england manager is not planning on making many changes in saturday's clash so with both teams almost at full strength fans can expect a cracking match in st petersburg. i'll be leaving it all on the field as they try to get this when all i no matter the outcome well belgium and england see this as a successful tournament. i think england certainly this is the best they've done at the world cup the furthest that they've progressed since one nine hundred ninety. and they weren't expecting to get this far either i think a lot of people thought of them might get to the round of sixteen of the quarter final so the semifinals and now the third place play off is it's a real bonus also there's a feeling in england the times of change that the negativity is gone and that this young team is actually heading in the right direction now head of a future tournament for belgium it's a bit more complicated they are a better side than england so perhaps we're expecting to make it this far at least
2:11 pm
and hoping to make their first ever world cup final they also love their players at the peak of their powers right now and when they beat brazil in the quarter final there was this real feeling that this was their time obviously it wasn't to be but they have given their fans a lot of great moments that win over brazil that i just mentioned and also that last minute victory against japan it was a real electrifying moment so i think both teams certainly although they haven't made it to the big day itself they can go home feeling very proud of what they've achieved now looking ahead to the final which will take place behind you on sunday what's the mood like in moscow before france plays croatia well perhaps unsurprisingly the atmosphere hasn't quite been the same since russia went out of the world cup quarter final stage and i think just generally the latter stages of the world cup are not quite the same as the football festival that you have in the group stages simply because a lot of teams have gone home and there found sort of followed them but that being said we've got more and more french in croatian fans now turning up in moscow for
2:12 pm
the final the french fans were brilliant at their semifinal and petersburg they made a lot of noise although there weren't a huge number of them there and of course croatia fans after their semifinal the extra time semifinal victory over england were absolutely ecstatic so i'm expecting a great atmosphere here at the luzhniki stadium to fit the occasion of the world cup final. sports reporter all the movie in moscow thank you very much. croatia's coach of go dollars has been speaking to the media ahead of sunday's world cup final and he says he thinks history counts for nothing as his side go for their first title against nine hundred ninety eight winners friends. yun implosion pool no i don't set much store in statistics tradition or head to head on it was the tradition is that they demolished. munich so morrow is the world cup final and we don't care who is on the other side of the kids we're here to enjoy the
