How the French and Belgium media reacted to this morning's World Cup semifinal which saw France book a spot in their third World Cup final.
L'Equipe
• Headline: "Irrésistibles"
• Gives a 8/10 to French goalkeeper Lloris and to central defenders Umtiti and Varane (very good mark for this sports newspaper)
• The newspaper shows that Pogba dedicated the win to the Thai footballers on Twitter

Le Figaro
• Presents Les Bleus as "héroïques" = meaning "heroic"
• "Héroïques face la Belgique, Les Bleus peuvent rêver d'une 2e étoile" = meaning "Heroic against Belgium, Les Bleus can dream of a second star" (the star refers to the emblem a nation team can display above their team badge on their playing shirts after winning the World Cup)
