Brazil knock out Mexico as expected 2-0.

And Belgium had a scare after being 0-2 down to Japan.

Belgium win 3-2.

Another quarter final is Brazil vs Belgium.

With the 2 games played tonight to decide the last quarter finalists.

It's the European/South American Cup

Yep, only 8 countries have won it.

Sweden knock out the Swiss 1-0 and England win on penalties over Colombia.

It's great to have so many newer teams in the finals rather than the usual big 5 or 6.

(Germany, Spain, Italy, Holland, Argentina)

So the quarter final matches 2018 are as such - 

Uruguay vs France

Brazil vs Belgium

Sweden vs England

Russia vs Croatia

I was hoping for a Sweden England final but that won't happen.

At least one might make it.

A convincing win to France over Uruguay 2 - 0

And Belgium upset Brazil 2 - 1

So France and Belgium will play one semi-final.

The other 2 quarter finals are tonight/early morning

Sweden vs England     Russia vs Croatia

Croatia beat Russia in a penalty shoot out. Those Croats are lucky.

And England convincingly beat Sweden.

So the semi-finals are upon us - France vs Belgium - Wed 11th. 4am.

                                                    England vs Croatia  - Thur 12th. 4am.

FRANCE wins 1-0 over Belgium.

1938 - Quarter finals

1998 - Champions

2006 - Runners-up

And now in the final. (I'm hoping for France England final now)

One more... and then the big one! 

The Croats were lucky, but one Russian didn't even kick it inside the goal. It was sad to see all the Russians crying in the Stadium. 

Croatia score a goal in extra time to beat England 2 - 1

I thought Croatia were a little lucky.

France vs Croatia is the final.

and third place match will be Belgium vs England.
