The Belgium No.1 did not to want to watch Les Bleus celebrate their success - but did admit he was eventually coaxed to tune back in after full-time
Chelsea and Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has admitted that he turned his TV off during Sunday’s World Cup final as he didn't want to see France win.
The Belgium shot-stopper helped his side finish third in the competition, beating England 2-0 in the third-fourth place playoff on Saturday, but after losing out to France in the semi-finals he could not stand to watch as Les Bleus stormed to a 4-2 victory over Croatia in Moscow.
