I know we laugh and joke about how England's path to the final has been cleared, but if you are France, are you not feeling even more fortunate and thinking "our path to WINNING the final has been cleared"? What's French for "It's coming home"? ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Maybe they still haven't totally wowed neutrals(although I think their display against Argentina showed them at full tilt), but they've still shown they have more than enough quality to beat anyone put infront of them. Matuidi will be back, which reunites their imposing midfield trio. I think we are looking at the tournament winners, not saying much given they are now in the semi-finals mind.
Still, Belgium are no mugs and are here on merit, deservedly knocking out Brazil. Has Martinez found a system that can beat the big teams by playing a trio of De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku as a front 3, with Fellaini and Witsel infront of the back 3.
Wonder what Agent Henry is thinking as well? He's as French as they come, he can't truly deeply want Belgium to win right?
So, are France going to march on towards a 2nd World Cup final? Or can Belgium pull off another huge shock and make their first final ever?
