Brazil, one of the favorites, dropped 2-1 to surprising Belgium and Uruguay, without their figure Edinson Cavani, lost 2-0 to France.
The semi-finals of the World-2018 will be entirely European with a cross already established between France and Belgium and the other which emerges Saturday between the winners of England-Sweden, which will compete in St. Petersburg, and Russia-Croatia, in Sochi.
Brazil, a lot of noise and few nuts [19659004] The result was not that expected for a team that crushed the rivals in the South American qualifiers and extended its series in the World Cup to stop in the quarterfinals, when it seemed that the sixth crown was not a utopia. Ghosts of the past this Friday in Kazan in one of the worst games since Titus saved the Selebono from the debacle in their "World Cup" in 2014.
Nothing boasted that in half an hour the south side American was 0-2 (Fernandinho against 13 minutes and De Bryune 31) and a horrible feeling began to haunt Kazan evoking the 7-1 against Germany in 2014.
But this seleção It is not the one who succumbed to the house in the last world cup, although it was also not the one who threatened the first phase and the eighth of Russia-2018 to organize a festival on Red Square on July 15th.
Little football and a lot of self-esteem brought out the real Neymar that hit more than it generated, to be discounted by Renato Augusto at 76.
Menino pushed further and again to force the extra but without order or ideas, only with force and will that did not reach turning point in front of a Belgian team that started to roll and sank dangerously back to the bow of Thibaut Courtois, who saved his team with an extraordinary cape at the end.
This time has not worked his interlocutors in Russia, the elusive Willian, and the elegant Coutinho and Gabriel Jesús. Belgium can afford to dream of reaching the World Cup final for the first time in its history if it repeats to France the first half-hour against Brazil
Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard did not appear this time. Tail with Kevin De Bruyne another of his good options for a team that is no longer a promise and has cards to be on the July 15th final at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow.
Uruguay, the mistake that has ended With the dream
An error of the Uruguayan keeper Fernando Muslera has buried this Friday the heavenly dream in Russia-2018 against a solid France (2-0) .
An apparently harmless shooting of Antoine Griezmann (at minute 61), the most "Uruguayan" of the French, beat the worried hands of Muslera to put an end to the Uruguayan illusion to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup as in South Africa-2010.
Raphael Varane had already scored, head first, in the 40. Grie zmann, a 'charrúa'. who took his companion daily and declared himself a supporter of the Uruguayan Peñarol, was thus the executioner of a chosen one who felt like the absence of his striker Edinson Cavani.
The French striker, partner of heavenly defenders Diego Godín and José María Giménez at the Atlético de Madrid, said that he was arrested and did not scream his goal "out of respect for my Uruguayan friends, who helped me in my debut as a professional". Without Cavani, author of three World Cup goals, and with Luis Suarez, the possibilities of the South American team were reduced to almost nothing
"It remained everything. There was no debt, France controlled very well the circumstances of the match and when we were 0-2 it was a big advantage in the score, "said Uruguayan coach Oscar Tabárez, who recognized that the French team was superior to France, without having played a brilliant match, showed a solid structure line by line and looks with the confidence of those who go everywhere.
"We did something good against Argentina (4-3 in the eighths) and today (Friday) our level I have a good team, which has still room to improve, "said French coach Didier Deschamps on television BeIn Sports at the end of the match
The tears of heavenly defender José María Giménez the party was l & # 39; pain sample for the purpose of an illusion that was not chimera.
