France celebrate reaching the World Cup semi-finals by beating England in QatarQATAR - Defending champions France on Sunday trained their sights on a World Cup semi-final against surprise package Morocco as Argentina and Lionel Messi prepare to take on Croatia.
France were second best for long spells against Gareth Southgate's England on Saturday and were grateful for a late Harry Kane penalty miss as they won 2-1. "There is quality in this team, but there is also a good mentality and a state of mind," he said."We gave them a little ammunition with two penalties, but it is with hearts and guts that we held onto this result."
On Saturday, they beat Ronaldo and Portugal 1-0 thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri's first-half header, to go further than any African team ever has at a World Cup. There were also celebrations across the Arab world and in Europe as Morocco are also the first Arab team to reach a World Cup semi-final. Brazil's Neymar, who has already indicated he may never pull on the Brazil shirt again, said Saturday he was"psychologically destroyed" by his side's elimination at the hands of Croatia on penalties on Friday.
