the bbc‘s olly foster has been in moscow for the whole world cup, here he is describing the moment francethe heavens opened here. the dignitaries, including president putin, president macron as well, were soaked for the presentation. a clap of thunder went off overhead at the exact moment that lloris lifted the world cup for france. it seemed as though the footballing gods were having their say. i am sure that they approve. because this tournament has been amazing. it has seen the rise of the underdog. teams defying the odds. it has been a world cup like no other in that respect. fifa rankings turned on their head. the reigning champions germany, former champions spain and brazil, all tumbling out of the tournament. it was here in moscow that order was restored. 20 years after deschamps captained france to the title for the first time, he has done it as coach, and he said it was beautiful and marvellous, the words he used for their achievements. those words could be used for much that we have seen here in russia. we'll hear from the streets of paris and zagreb a bit later in the programme

olly foster has all the latest from moscow. what a game! russia was so resolute.ed it to be very one side. you get all the statistics thrown at you after the match and one stood out, spain tried to pass russia today, they played over 1000 passes, almost as many as russia have played in allfour almost as many as russia have played in all four matches. but one thing you cannot get away from is the shootout. russia was absolutely fabulous. and on goal to get spain into the match but it was one or by half—time with a russian penalty and we did not know we will be getting many more in the shootout. russia scored all of theirs and their goal keeper was the hero, igor akinfeev, he saved to spot kicks. russia are going through 11—3 on penalty and they are in dreamland. the party when they got out of the saddier was of the special. that was the first knockout when since 1966 —— win. the scenes in the fence on across the way, at the fan fest in the grounds of the state university which holds a 25,000 people, were amazing. seemed replicated across the country because they ar

olly foster reports from moscow.orld cup is always a poorer place without them, but they just haven't been very good. they have been getting better, but belgium are a side who have looked really strong. i paid a lot of attention to them, because they were in england's group. they're now unbeaten. they did have a wobble against the japanese. but they are looking fantastic. they went in 2—0 at half—time. it was an own goal from fernandinho and an absolute thunderbolt from kevin de bruyne. brazil did come back, they pulled back a goal late on through augusto and neymar. he was diving around, huge histrionics. perhaps they should have won a penalty through gabrieljesus, but brazil is going home. in a world cup of shocks, that will rank amongst them, but it's not a very big shock because belgium are a good side indeed. their last world cup semifinals were 1986. we are now looking forward to belgium against their neighbours, france. france also look good. they were the 1998 champions, captained by didier deschamps, and he
