In the final of the world championship will play France and Croatia

All semi-finalists were drawn, divided into match participants for third and first places. On Tuesday, the Belgians and the French fought. In the 51st minute, defender "Barcelona" Samuel Umtiti scored, more goals were not – France in the final. It has not been seen since 1998. Then Zinedin Zinedine Zidane, whose head has twice sent the ball into the gates of the Brazilian national team. In the midfield, with him played Didier Deschamps, the current coach of the French. There is a chance to repeat success after 20 years. However, the Croats have a completely different opinion about it.

Belgian head coach Roberto Martinez said that given his team's ambitions, it would be extremely difficult to prepare the match for third place. Well, it's as if the problems were only his team, no matter how bad the defeat of the French team was. The bronze medal match will take place in Saint Petersburg on Saturday at 17:00. Belgians will be opposed by the British.

The teams have already met in the group stage. Semi-backup compositions played. They won. The Belgians 1: 0.

The second semi-final, purely subjective, was more interesting. The British quickly started and again scored the goal (that is their formidable weapon – up to 9 goals for the tournament). Distinguished defender of "Spurs" Kieran Trippier.

The Croats did not look very well. The British calmly controlled the course of the meeting. Certainly, after the break, it seems, scared the closeness of the final and too huddled up to their doors. As a result, they were punished. Ivan Perishich of "Inter" reacted to the flanking ground and scored a header. Everything has changed radically. The Croats rushed like madmen, and the English have completely fallen.

As a result, more time has come. Third in a row for Croatia. In the playoffs were to play for 120 minutes with Denmark (1: 1 and a penalty shoot-out), as well as Russia (2: 2 and a penalty shoot-out). But the Balkan guys – handsome – sudyzhili. In overtime, they also scored. Mario Mandzhukic scored from Juventus, who after the World Cup needs to learn to coexist on the pitch with his new teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

The match for the first place will be played by the "Luzhniki" of Moscow. Sunday, 6 pm It must be epic.
