the headlines. through to the world cup semifinals. i . head to head in the other. was. no traces of. the syrian city of.

nine hundred ninety five. being executed later in the program we'll look at the. morning here on your world headlines. so with the world cup in russia very much at the business end of things we now know the teams to compete in the last for the championship. through with heavyweights. across. they. know exactly who to pass. in the race. trophy belgium and france

all through to the last for brazil in the world why it's time to pack their bags in the game of the day belgium saw off five time world cup winners brazil by two goals to one. i. would think it was. and what a game it was belgium opening the scoring in the thirteenth minute chadli curling the ball in straight from the table for the straight tossed into the net embarrassment for the experienced a friend is then really that mood for the whole game belgium doubling their lead a little while later a star striker called to the house picking the ball up when belgium's off forwards . through the midfield the defense. took a shot which is very powerful allowed time and space on the ball into the bottom

left corner no charts for the keeper that douglas costa came on forward to silver that did change the pace of the game a bit strengthened brazil's midfield pulling it out wide trying to spread the belgians didn't work the defensive masterclass there aside from. brazil of brazil's renault. reviving hopes just three minutes after coming on to the pitch bearing this had a right into the bottom right corner off to force their team you just sit there splitting the difference was enough for the brazilians the attack laws are looking unimpressive throughout the whole match the really shot down by the belgians are. strikers star tech and we feel is looking pretty helpless in the face of the belgian machine let's go. now he's been following that crucial clash brazil belgium perhaps many will be sad to see the five time. champions going home i'm guessing

brazil fans disappointed where you are as well well absolutely you know i was here for the argentina france game i'm now here for the brazil belgium game and judging by how much fun both the argentinians and the brazilians had in the streets of cazan you would never be able to tell that this would effectively become the final stop for the both latin american teams they're both going home from cars and if you would look at the stadium you would see it's a sea of yellow and occasional small islands of red so let me use this report as a rallying call to all the belgians it's not too late to buy tickets to st petersburg and be there on tuesday when. their team plays against france and arguably the biggest game for belgium i had a little chat with the fifa president jonny and fans you know about this world cup i will tell you have to be end of the world cup but so far it's. quite top class this was not only the last game for brazil this was the last game focus on all the matches are welcome matches over the jena said that it was an amazing atmosphere

amazing experience to be in the city which is now saying goodbye to the world cup obviously were not and i will see you all in st petersburg on tuesday night for the aussies and also well peter schmeichel guys i would say you it's no surprise no one can be surprised about this brazil played better today than i've seen them in the whole tournament and ironically they go out in that form as i thought. defensively you know they're very unlucky in the first goal it's just got a little flick of come company which then hit the fan and goes in and it's what happens in football they didn't really become a from and then they find themselves to know that at half time most of what happened that happened in the second half was they were involved. looking to name to say you know this is your opportunity to show how good you are and that is that if you have. it's

a situation where you get support and inside deposit inside the box a few mean used to mean you have a shot because just over i'm a mouse or had a shark in one thousand minutes plus three which t.v. reports say sense hasankeyf but i have to say you know what it's saying goodbye to to one of the better teams now where you can think of some of the other teams of still in the tournament maybe you know would get swept them all but that's the nature of the world france just a quick recap they. thought reason becomes a player in the end. and again that's something he said of predicted might happen even though he was out here in white but that's a big problem for your bar so this was on his own he's he's a good striker on his own he's a good strike up a companion suarez together is the sort that wasn't after your wife and i'm not but i've been very consistent with kev on the i actually think that he's been the best

plan b. you're right steve and i also think he was what he's been one of the best performing players in the whole of the world started off fantastically well didn't score but you know contributed would say and then he scored two goals. but this was a six so. you know that that was a really really tough. stuff for them today not to have him. and the thing is i said this before that france was a one team for me that really stepped it up they went from being everything seeing people stand my voice so i don't even closer to them and on them so they were very i was the sort of slowly got through the group stages. but in that last sixteen. against argentina really stepped it up a goals from that griezmann said the french fans into ecstasy will have a frost that's up a look at the call outs. god

why why why was i with what i was a what was the was it was was so the last pair of quarter finals are being played on saturday with the host nation russia taking on croatia in the result city of soft tonight now both teams

reached the quarter final off the winning dramatic penalty shoot outs croatia still won the tournament favorites but russia riding high on a new wave of confidence softer the win against spain. team russia in the woods of finals performing something just sure america giving the fight to the mighty spain and eventually knocking it right out of the tournament with that nice russian fans rule to her how now has. the how her little boy became a thing off to the she was saved by the russian goalkeeper eagerly can fav in the final penalty shootout you can fav himself radia still here at home became an even bigger internet celebrity at the time.

now also drawing attention of course russia's head coach but he took the spotlight not only with these managing decisions and he's managing style but also with his emotions or rather the lack of them i should say a hint of a smile and a reservedly pulled fists in triumph this is cool that he allowed himself on the pitch. churches of some astonished have become known here in russia as the mistah should hold another symbol for russian fans he's russia's traditional headwear caution so here in central moscow in the heart of the football fever i decided to familiarize fans of other national teams with these features of the russian fan culture.

to know that russia's traditional element of headway. isn't done. when to have both. with the ball aboard i have no idea i have no idea if. that's the trick to stop the fuck up i have this. you know what it is. it's this really yeah you know this is actually this isn't done for girls it's called a cautionary bush yes question it right on have you ever wanted to become a russian fond. of all mine. just look so am i let's do this you can kind of hold it till all the q. and a let's not go yeah this is no different than anyone in the field behind you.

this goes that. you know be a little bit really really right. ok ok selfie time so yeah yeah perfect like a natural you look like a natural you have something to chew something else yeah we have something else you know the russian chico i don't know his last name but i know him by his face just bald would. there must indeed and what i have for you here. i'm just going to give you this. do you think that maybe you could hold it like this and say if you was pretend you were a russian coach which in english yes you know english you feel the power of the stuff yet you sure know how to forgive me have you had the moment give me the speech. you got you've got to get better get a search for we're going to cope or to we have all the fans here all or nothing come on it's your country is so torn you need to make your own history come on good

to do a little bit more than that to ensure victory. was . just because. we. will if you go.

with. that one you shall see. he should. release. his us but. meanwhile croatia is also intent on winning this game and former croatian footballer told us why he's betting on his team. rocher beat when we played twenty years ago we beat the hell we beat germany three million we own if somebody undervalue croatian team he can have big problems we can control the ball today who control more the ball more time more time to score more time to play when i visit my football players i saw in the. hungry to wean.

fish once but not every that trolled the world playing for my country there's the best feeling in the world and that's why kids please dream dream come through play for your national team play hard and give all. of the russia vs croatia game will take on either england or sweden the two teams clashing today in that quarter final in samarra the three lions have reached the quarter finals of the tournament for the first time since two thousand and. but sweden won't grant them easy passage if at all before the game we decided to find out how well the team's fans knew their respective rivals. games between these two tend to go down to the wire chicken look at their head to head record eight wins for england seven for sweden and nine draws and with things that are so tight sometimes what makes all the difference is in the depth knowledge of the opposition to the bombs know about their rival nations we

decided to test. some swedish puns with their colors out here in the sun morrison is pretty nice first of all it's very nice for the most part queen elizabeth became queen elizabeth in which decade when did she go on to the throne forty. four forty nine hundred forty as you say it is sixty one thousand nine hundred fifty which decade did alba when you're. seventy seven. seventy four look at the right are the blocky the population of sweetness a little bit smaller than yourselves a twenty year ten million ten million final answer. if you kept your nerve and you did write ten million that is what is the population of england around seventy million sixty six is a small. team work i got there in the end in one thousand nine hundred eight and

youngest ever cool school were against argentina remember the wonder goal he scored of. michael. oh when. we go on we've got it what was sweden's highest ever finish out a world cup their best place in fifty eight group against brazil in fifty. but he had that when he did not the bull was then you know every day when bunny. and i would say that was a goal so there you have been the supporters of the three lanes take good care but will their team follow suit on the pitch not long to find out you know we'll r.t. some araa.
