France with the youngest squad at the tournament.
Argentina with the oldest squad of those who've stayed in so far.
Pavard!
What?!
Boreas!
Borjama!
Pavard!
Puts France level in what is turning out to be a pretty astonishing game.
Well, that was just sensational.
Pick that out.
Once more with spin off the outside of the boot.
Just tremendous.
Pivaric.
So did Perisic.
Mandzukic!
Croatia hit the front!
Croatia may be going all the way!
Mandzukic pounced!
And England are hurt!
England are hurting!
It's at moments like this that Mario Mandzukic has for a decade and more switched on.
And boy, he switched on!
It is a piercing finish.
And Croatia are 11 minutes from the World Cup final.
Nicely done again.
Here goes Hernandez.
Taking on Boateng.
He's got support here from Lozano.
Cuts him back inside.
It's Lozano!
Bayern has lit up the opening game.
In Lozano!
Back inside the defender.
No chance for Neuer.
If you're looking for young talent to step up on a world stage,
having Lozano has done just that.
Croatian ball of five.
Neuer arriving late to try and disrupt that.
There is a little corridor of white through which Trippier might consider striking.
It is Kieran Trippier!
It is delicious!
Glorious!
Glorious England goal!
Picture perfect!
Immaculate whites have made an immaculate start.
He picked it up and put it there.
There is not a better strike than that.
Griezmann with the corner.
Kick and Mtiti!
There's the breakthrough.
It's Samuel Mtiti for France.
It's only his third international goal.
Mtiti wins the header.
Beating Fellaini in the air.
Might have just taken a little skim off that mop of hair.
But that's Mtiti's goal all right.
Only his third ever for France.
And certainly the biggest.
One of the biggest in French football history.
Neuer now is playing as a midfield player.
There's going to be another goal here.
This will be it.
Song Yunmin.
Two incredible scenes in Kazan.
It feels like the end of the world.
It's certainly the end of the World Cup.
For Germany.
And it seals the fate.
Nasser Chadli.
Batshuahi.
Yanezai.
Tielemans.
Thought about a shot there for a moment.
Yanezai.
Does go for goal and finds it superbly!
Yanezai!
And that goal means that as it stands,
Belgium would win this Group.
Group G.
Belgium patient in their build-up.
Yanezai with a little touch
before
the pace of acceleration to move infield.
There's the touch.
There's the movement.
There's the finish.
Adnan Yanezai gets his first goal for Belgium.
Skrinić.
Rakitic for Vrsaljko.
Aimed in beyond.
Mandzukic!
And fired home by Oasis.
Cramings are satisfied, at least for now.
Foot beaten by Perisic.
And the semi-final is back where it began.
Delicious delivery from Vrsaljko.
Ivan Perisic
threw out a high boot.
Made pure contact.
And left
Jordan Pickford without a prayer.
Uruguay,
beaten team.
Third goal now would surely confirm
France's passage through
to the semi-finals of this 2018 World Cup.
A little too much as you can see there for
José Jiménez.
Griezmann stands behind this free-kick there.
It's Griezmann!
And unless Uruguay can get a goal
very quickly to give themselves hope of
a second,
they are going home.
If Spain miss the next one,
Russia win.
Or Aspas.
The rest just hope.
Aspas obliged.
Enveloped
by love.
Disbelieving joy.
This was not meant to happen.
Russia.
Russia are in the World Cup quarter-finals.
Now this is a key moment.
We know who's going to strike it.
A little over three minutes plus additional time remaining.
As so often,
Portugal's hopes
rest on Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulders.
Referee trying to
get the wall back the required distance.
Ronaldo.
Absolute genius!
Would you believe it?
He has position.
He's not going to get that, is he?
Up. Over the wall.
Down. Under the crossbar.
It's an exquisite free-kick.
Exemplary.
Perfection.
And it's all square in Sochi.
And it's a hat-trick for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbappé really has got a turn of pace.
He's showing here. Look at this.
From Mbappé's hold back there.
And it's a penalty!
It's a penalty for France!
The Iranian referee was in no doubt.
Argentina complain.
But they could not cope there
with the searing pace
of Kylian Mbappé.
Well, this is one of the great pieces of play of this World Cup.
This solo run.
What has he covered? 70 metres there.
Well, maybe the first contact
is outside there.
But it carries on inside, doesn't it?
Courtois.
Safely grabbed.
And there's just time for De Bruyne
to lead this attack.
Japan desperate to cover the spaces.
They can't do so for the moment.
Lukaku. And here's a winner!
Nasser Chadli.
Strokes Belgium
into a quarter-final against Brazil.
Courtois with a lovely roll-out here to De Bruyne.
It was a brilliant counter-attack from Belgium.
It was high quality.
And there, Chadli benefiting
from the little dummy here
from Lukaku.
In the heat at the moment, Lukaku
saw the big picture.
And Chadli was there to stroke it home.
In the driving Moscow rain,
France are the champions of the world!
Congratulations.
Never, never to be forgotten.
