The hour of news from Ecuador, its provinces and the world

France confirms his favoritism and pbades with horror at the final of the World Cup Russia-2018 after winning 1 -0 to Belgium, and wait for Croatia or England for the game of consecration.

The defense in the 51st minute led the Blues to their third World Cup final after winning the 1998 title on their territory and falling to Italy in Germany-2006.

The team led by Didier Deschamps is now waiting for the winner of the other semifinal between England and Croatia on Wednesday in Moscow.

In a Balanced balanced and emotional match between two of the Best Russian Team in 2018, the team of Didier Deschamps took advantage of a stopped ball in the corner as Barcelona's central defender diverted. And with a head reached, despite the anxieties suffered by the French keeper, Hugo Lloris.

With only a few quality flashes of Kylian Mbappé and very little of Griezmann, France also managed to contain a Belgium that was on the brink of nerve attack after the two Gauls, with a lot of thrust and vertigo but few ideas.

Eden Hazard was no longer the driver who with his dribbles worried about Lloris and the Red Devils were orphaned from football. And without their first final.

The Belgians had scored more than anybody (14 goals) in the tournament, but they remained virgins in the match who were determined to overcome the previous best ranking, the Mexico 1986 semifinal. Argentina's Diego Maradona, then champion.

For the proud world champion in 1998, the 12 years that have pbaded since her painful final final – the defeat against Italy – seemed like an eternity . Humiliated by his own ridicule in 2010 and insufficient in 2014, France arrived in Russia younger than ever and with the physical rest and football to worry, many, from Croatia or l & # 39; England.
