Brazil captain Thiago Silva highlighted his side’s evolution since a slow start to this World Cup (via The Guardian):
I think our evolution has been impressive since the first match. We are well-prepared and planning to progress to the quarter-finals. The coach provided us with all the necessary tools; we have plan A and plan B. We hope that [Monday] will be a wonderful day, and that Neymar will be as inspired as everyone else.
ESPN FC tweeted out the new look that Mexican stars Javier Hernandez and Miguel Layun are debuting today against Brazil:

Mexico captain Andres Guardado knows the stakes of this matchup (via USA Today):
It is the biggest game of our lives. What greater motivation could you need than the five-time champion? It is the perfect scene. There is no greater memory than making history with the fifth match.
FOX Soccer tweeted the starting XI for each side and pointed out that stalwart Brazilian back Marcelo won’t be in action as a starter today:

Belgium vs. Japan
SuperSport found that Belgium was the highest scoring country during this year’s group stage:

Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez spoke about how confident his squad is at this juncture (via BBC):
I think there is a belief; we've been undefeated for a long long time. There is a real understanding among the players and it's an opportunity to face the best teams in the world.. I think we've done everything we can as a group to prepare ourselves.'
Goal.com wondered if Eden Hazard will step up and fill the void in terms of starpower at the World Cup after both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi exited on the first day of knockout play:
Messi gone. Ronaldo gone.
Can Hazard become the major superstar of the #WorldCup in the absence of the GOATs? https://t.co/4IAeWMsuzw

Japan head coach Akira Nishino on his decision to make his side play defensively against Poland (via BBC):
In that moment, I had to make a decision on our tactical direction. [Spectators] were short-changed 10 minutes, and they probably got a little less mileage than usual out of the first 80 minutes. So I want to pay people back [against Belgium].
Sporf noted that the Japanese barely escaped the group stage, edging past Senegal on yellow card differential—the last possible tiebreaker before drawing lots:
Senegal are the first side in #WorldCup history to be eliminated on Fair Play Points.
Japan - 4 Yellow Cards
Senegal - 6 Yellow Cards

English captain Harry Kane knows his side can perform better at the 2022 World Cup (via BreakingnewsUK.com):
It’s been great to get to this stage and we know we’ve done everyone proud, but we wanted to go on and we wanted to win it. We felt we were good enough and we felt we could have done that, but we fell a bit short. It hurts. The next step is now to go one further, it’s a great foundation we’ve built with the gaffer over the last couple of years and we just need to carry that on but we want more. We’re sad for the fans here and at home. We have to dust ourselves done and be proud of what we achieved and go again in a couple of years.
Ian Darke joked about the time between these England-Belgium matchups:
Coming up .the most pointless England v Belgium game since ..er, the last one two weeks ago.

Kaveh Solhekol believes both teams should be gunning to claim third in this prestigious tournament:

ESPN UK published a quote from England boss Gareth Southgate in wake of his squad’s loss in the semifinals:

— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) July 12, 2018
Southgate also claimed that he would have his players ready to perform with pride in the third-place game, even though it’s not a match they prefer to be involved with (via Sky News):
The honest thing is it's not a game any team wants to play in. We have two days to prepare. We will want to give a performance of huge pride. There's no question about that. It's always there every time we wear the shirt of our national team, we want to play with pride, we want to play well and win. Of course it is going to be a really difficult task over the next 24 hours to assess everybody and to get everybody mentally back to where we want them for a game like that.
France vs. Croatia World Cup Final
Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic spoke about how his side would not give up against England (via Reuters):
Some players played with minor injuries with which they would not have played some other games. Two players played with half a leg, but it didn’t show. Nobody wanted to give in when I was preparing the first eleven, nobody wanted to say I was not ready in extra time, no one wanted to be subbed and this shows character and what makes me proud. Nobody gave up

Darren Lewis thinks that Croatia was a bit too confident after beating England:
Croatia ungraciously coating off England post-match, forgetting France are waiting for them in the Final. #goodluck
— Darren Lewis (@MirrorDarren) July 11, 2018
French star Paul Pogba stated that his squad is not going to make the same mistakes that it did by underestimating Portugal in the finals of Euro 2016 (via Reuters):
We are conscious of the situation, we do not want to make the same mistakes like two years ago. We want to work for it, to give everything we have to take this Cup home. I think at the Euro we thought it was already a done deal, the mentality was not the same as now. I cannot lie that when we beat Germany we thought that was the final. I know the taste of losing a final. I don’t want it to happen again. Against Portugal we thought we had won it before the start of the game. That will not happen again.
Rob Beckett isn’t exactly thrilled with this finals matchup:
I’ve got a confession. I spent a small fortune on travel, accommodation and a World Cup Final ticket. Now I’ve got to go and watch France v Croatia and I don’t know how to deal with it.

Croatia talisman Luka Modric revealed that his teammates were inspired by the disrespect they received from pundits (via USA Today):
We showed agai Live share for windows download free. n we were not tired. We dominated the game physically, mentally, in all aspects. English journalists, pundits from television, they underestimated Croatia and that was a huge mistake. They should be more humble and respect more opponents. All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying, ‘OK, today we will see who will be tired’. It is the biggest success in Croatian history in sport and we have to be proud.
Tim and Sid pondered if the Blazers have enough left in the tank after all of their knockout stage matches went to extra time:

The 2018 FIFA World Cup final is set. France and Croatia will play for all the glory Sunday. Third and fourth places will be determined on Saturday when England faces Belgium.
Croatia has never appeared in a World Cup final. France last won the title in 1998 when they beat Brazil 3-0 in a World Cup they hosted.

Croatia went undefeated in Group D, including a convincing 3-0 hammering of Argentina, then beat both Spain and Russia in matches that lasted 2 hours each and both went to penalty kicks. Their semi-final victory against England also needed two periods of extra time. But they won it without the need for penalty kicks.
World Cup Semi-final results
England 1 – 2 Croatia
It took two overtimes, but Croatia get a go-ahead goal in the 109th minute. Croatia will advance to face France in the World Cup final Sunday. England meets Belgium to determine third place.
England was runner-up to Belgium in Group G. Since advancing, England beat Colombia on penalty kicks and knocked off Sweden in the quarterfinals. Harry Kane has 6 goals for England and is looking a sure bet for the Golden Boot Award.

France 1 – 0 Belgium
France advanced to the World Cup final after a 1-nil victory over Belgium Tuesday. It was a hard-fought match for both sides as they battled back-and-forth in a very physical game. In the end, a goal in the 51st minute by Samuel Umtiti was the only difference.
Both France and Belgium won their respective groups. France then beat Argentina and Uruguay en route to the semi-finals. Belgium beat Japan and pulled off a stunning upset of Brazil to make it to the semi-final match. They couldn't knock off France and will now have to settle for the third place match against the loser of tomorrow's England vs. Croatia match.
