didier deschamps, winner as captain in 2008, and he's the coach as well, so maybe he's on for a 20 yearng for that second semi—final with interest at the lucy li key on wednesday. absolutely. in theory, 0lly, at this time tomorrow we will know who is going through. who will be meeting france? unless the penalty shootout is going on for a long time we should know but let's not hope for that. england have been so assured. they had a penalty shootout against colombia but it's an inexperienced and young team but their manager gareth southgate has been repeating that mantra, let's make our own history. but my word, they're in their first history. but my word, they're in theirfirst semi—final history. but my word, they're in their first semi—final for 28 years, will they get to their first final ata will they get to their first final at a world cup since 1966? croatia, fatigue might be an element because they've had to come through to back penalty shootouts, they've never been to a world cup final but they have a fantastic group of players there who's been there for a long time, know each oth

team coach didier deschamps, who played in france's world cup win two decades ago, was honoured in moscowe. back home, they did things differently — a metro station that once began champs—elysees temporarily changed to honour his name. tonight at the elysee palace the team were hosted by their most famous fan. just kids themselves when france last won this trophy, it was only right to pass the moment on. translation: thank you again to the whole of france. i hope we made you tremble, i hope we made you jump. they say a world cup win means popularity for players and presidents alike and among the names history here will remember are those of its young men in blue. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. by tradition, every unmarked swan here in the uk is the property of the crown. but how does the queen keep track of all the birds she owns? well, every year she sends out her official ‘swan marker‘ who will count them in a ceremony known as swan upping. the bbc‘s tim allman explains. for something like 900 years, they have been doing this. her majesty's marker of the swans, with white feather in

so there will be some critics of france's style but didier deschamps yet again is getting the resultsin the second world cup in their history, and didier deschamps can become only the third manager to win the world cup not only as a player but also as a head coach. 0ne concern is 0livier giroud. 13 shots without scoring so far, the striker france, but the intriguing thing about this team is that despite the fact they are in a final, we still think and i still think there is more to come from france. they haven't put in their best performance yet. a very strong french squad, yes. well, thousands of you will watch tonight's match on giant screens across the country, but one popstar has made sure his gig doesn't mean anyone misses the football. justin timberlake is due to play the o2 arena in london tonight — but he's found a win—win solution... i spoke to the 02, and for the first time ever, doors will open at 6:30pm, and we're going to play this england— croatia match up on my big screens, so come here, and we'll watch it together. i mean, i want to see it coming you want to see it, we

that really could hurt your goal i do expect this to be a bit of a cagey game i think france coach didier the seans doesn't really know his best formation he doesn't know his best attacking line up and i think that's holding the team back which is why i say the economy but i do have special players which could hurt your goal and that makes them the favorites your boy on the other hand and to bear as really have punch above their weight in recent years that's a country of only three million people so for them to be at this stage is quite amazing to be honest they are built on strong defense but they also hold their own in attack with their front to lose suarez and edison cavani and that balance makes them very dangerous as coach dia de shawn pointed out in his press conference earlier today. they are very effective in defense but they also know how to attack and they are very good with their counters. they switch from defense to attack with direct start of play that is truly admirable. so it sounds like a tight game who's likely to make the difference so usually for your goal i would say a

didier deschamps, a winner as a captain in 2008, and he is the coach as well, so maybe he's on for aench will face, because we're looking forward with much interest to that second semi—final here at the luzhniki on wednesday. oh, absolutely, and in theory, olly, at this time tomorrow we should know who is going through and who will be meeting france. unless the penalty shootout is going on for a long time, we should know, yes, but let's not hope for that. england have been so assured. they had a penalty shootout against colombia but it's an inexperienced and young team but their manager gareth southgate has been repeating that mantra — "let's make our own history." but, my word, they're in theirfirst semi—finalfor 28 years. will they get to their first final at a world cup since 1966? croatia, fatigue might be an element there, because they've had to come through two penalty shootouts. they've never been to a world cup final, but they have a fantastic group of players there, who have been togetherfor a long time, know each other inside and out. and, in luka modric and ivan rakitic at

they hope is at the railing final as we all are joined as an obvious top studio today as well as didier drogba who we thought having a little heart felt moments with there is a move. we got to legendary strikers impression about the tournament in russia. wearing a final darts i'm not sure a lot of people predicted you know france against russia and. well the big the big teams they face of course the outs and i think it's good for football and you can see that now there's no small teams normal i hope i've got my history running scored in the champions league final yes yet you insist you'll be a plane is again by me yass the man of the match that's should be basic knowledge and. also the school you'll country's first ever gold in the world cup but honestly how do those competitors mean this is as high as you get as a football and how does it can paddle the sensation scoring the first of a goal for your country in a world where when i scored that goal what is going to win you so i didn't really think about it but later when you do you realize that you've been the first player from my becau
