De Bruyne Belgium future in doubt after 'unacceptable' France defeat
Belgium captain Kevin De Bruyne's future with the national side has been thrown into doubt after he slammed his teammates as "not good enough" after a 2-0 Nations League defeat to France.
Apology to beautiful football
France won the match, but not the hearts. The first semifinal between the two best sides of the World Cup failed to live up to its Battle Royale billing. It was a good match but could have been great had France not played negative football. There was no reason for France to play defensively.
Courtois blasts France victory as 'shame for football'
Belgium goalkeeper Courtois criticises Deschamps's side for a defensive style of play in the World Cup semi-final.
A cracker in the offing
If you discount World Cup pedigree, which has actually had little or no bearing in Russia 2018 so far, there is little to choose from between France and Belgium when the two European nations lock horns in the first semifinal at the Saint Petersburg Stadium today.
Sky is the limit for Mbappe
France's Kylian Mbappe is undoubtedly fast.
