And then there were 4. Only two games separate these sides from World Cup glory, but who will stand in their way, who will deprive them of such joy and wonder, who will be the hero and who will be the scapegoat? There are only 3 more meaningful matches left in what has been an incredible World Cup. Each team has had a bizarre journey to this stage of the competition, but they have all earned it. Tuesday: Belgium - France. Can Belgium repeat the performance that saw them past Brazil or will the quality of this French side see them through yet again? Wednesday: Croatia - England. After 2 penalty shootout wins, can Croatia even last 90 more minutes? Their squad is battered and bruised but one more push could see them into their first ever World Cup final. England had it a little easier but they still just barely survived penalties. Can they be the first English side to reach a final on foreign soil? Will it be coming home? Let’s hope football is the victor in what promises to be an engaging semi finals.
