One step before the final game

It's the first semifinal France play against Belgium. Both teams make qualitative moves in their games. Didier Deschamp's France at the last 16 won 4-3 Argentina in one of the best matches in the tournament. While in quarter finals they won 0-2 the tough Uruguay when Varane and Griezman scored. They have qualitative players and so they are presenet in another one big tournament. Matuidi served his punishment and could be back in the first eleven.

On the other hand Belgium had a great win 1-2 over Brazil, with a strong performance. They scored two goals, one with an own goal from Fernandinho and the second from Kevin De Bruyne. In the second half they only tried to keep the score as it was and qualify and so it happened. With a team like this, they can surely go further in the tournament. Winger Meunier won't play in the semi final game as he is punished, while Chadli's participation is dubious too. As I have mentioned in my previous article maybe it is high time for Belgium....Roberto Martinez's squad seem capable to reach the top.  

It's a semi final game with two very strong teams, France and Belgium and everything may happen. Both teams have quality in all of the positions. I expect a quick game with goals. Over 2.5 would be my choice.
