It’s been a wild World Cup featuring plenty of upsets, but in the end, a France vs. Belgium semifinal is not all that much of a surprise. Before the tournament, both sides were mentioned among the potential winners, though perhaps not as often as the likes of Brazil or Germany. Both sides have an extravagant amount of young attacking talent: Kylian Mbappe, at just 19, has been spectacular, while Romelu Lukaku has been more or less unstoppable up front for the Belgians.
This one could be a classic.
