After France beat Uruguay in the World Cup semi-final, the French daily Le Parisien ran as a headline: "Les Bleus open the doors of the paradise". However they should avoid Saint Petersburg to become the Garden of Eden.
In great shape, Belgian forward Eden Hazard has been brilliant again in
the quarter-finals. Against Brazil he became the first player in a World Cup to complete as many dribbles with a 100% rate since 1966 (10/10).
Tomorrow morning (6.00am NZT) he will face two of his teammates with Chelsea, Olivier Giroud and N'Golo Kanté. He seems to prefer to have them in his team.
"Kanté is the best in the world at his position. If Kanté is on top, you have 95 per cent chance of winning. It's up to us to do whatever it takes to stop him from picking up the ball" says the 27-year-old to the Belgian Sport/Foot Magazine.
