8:08 p.m. : And just now, Olivier Giroud, in full confidence, has just attempted a scorpion shot in the area. Note that it was the (whimsical) Colombian goalkeeper René Higuita who popularized this gesture in the 90s. , 9th.

8:07 p.m. : @feliscatus Defense is not our strong point, but fortunately it is also England’s Achilles heel. We should see goals!
8:06 p.m. : It’s not to say, but when the opposing team tumbles into the French defense – that goes for everyone, not just England – we’re not very calm…
8:06 p.m. : And FIFA predictions for France to win before extra time is 34%, England have 33% chance and 33% chance of extra time. The evening promises to be long
8:06 p.m. : English gentlemen, shoot first. Domination of the white jerseys at the start of the meeting, but apart from a shot countered by the tricolor hinge, nothing too bad. , 6th minute of play.
8:04 p.m. : Small point in the stands at the start of the match: as often, the stadium is far from full at kick-off. Note that the security checks are quite finicky, which may explain the number of latecomers.
8:03 p.m. : Let’s take stock of the news of this early evening:
• England are on the road to France for a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Follow the game live from… well now!
• The Moroccans have (again) achieved a feat. The Atlas Lions are qualified for the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup after their 1 – 0 victory against Portugal.
• A Vice-President of the European Parliament, Eva Kaili, was arrested on suspicion of corruption by Qatar. Several other personalities were arrested. Here is what we know about this case.
The weekend started in the dark in Odessa, after strikes attributed to Russia by kyiv, while in Norway the day was marked by renewed calls for an end to the “madness” of this war, when the prizes were awarded to the three Nobel Peace Prize laureates. Franceinfo summarizes the highlights of this Saturday.
8:01 p.m. : It starts well, we already have to change the ball after 20 seconds of play. We remind you that the object must be recharged with a plug because it is full of sensors.
7:59 p.m. : Let’s go for this quarter-final of feuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! France-England 0-0 !
7:58 p.m. : Good evening What sad news the disappearance of your colleague. I’m happy to have you back for this live! 3-2 for France after extra time!
7:58 p.m. : Go Blues!!!2-1 for you!!
7:57 p.m. : England 3 France 2
7:54 p.m. : The 22 actors enter the lawn after a double ration of fireworks around the inflatable World Cup (which deflates in a rather inelegant way away from the cameras).
7:54 p.m. : We saw stealthily David Beckham, the controversial ambassador of this World Cup in Qatar who appears in advertisements everywhere here, in the stands, in the company of Claude Makélélé.
7:49 p.m. : Superb to pay tribute to a journalist. But we would have liked a tribute (or no thought, or a little something, anything) for the hundreds and thousands of workers who died preparing for this World Cup. But it is true that they were neither journalists, nor rich, neither American nor white. Inevitably, they deserve less homage.
7:48 p.m. : @Pauline You must have missed this article that I devoted to this terrible (but imprecise) figure. Note that in this other article, I explained why we were able to establish it only in 2021 and with comrade Raphaël Godet, we have been working for months on the aberrations of this Qatari World Cup, a series of articles that you can find here. Here’s some reading for your weekend 😉
Just because we’re covering the competition doesn’t mean we have blinders on how it was made possible.
7:48 p.m. : Hey.. my good and kind Pierrot, a thought for the 6500 dead?
7:42 p.m. : 2-1 for France ?? goal from Griezmann and Mbappé, goal from Rashford for the English
7:41 p.m. : Draw 1 everywhere after extra time. England win 4 shots on goal to 3.
7:41 p.m. : In my snowball, I see a 2-1 for the ?? without penalties though… May the best win!
7:41 p.m. : 2-1 for France ?? Go Bleus!!!
7:41 p.m. : Optimist: 3-0 for the French ?
7:41 p.m. : A short salvo of predictions before the small pre-match ceremony, the pyrotechnic animation next to the inflatable World Cup, then the anthems. Know that we have to get up at that time, so I have to take my hands off the keyboard.
7:37 p.m. : FIFA officials have paid tribute to Grant Wahl by placing flowers & a photo of him on the desk he would have used to cover England v France tonight. The US journalist, who turned 48 on Thursday, collapsed while reporting on Argentina v Netherlands last night and tragically died. https://t.co/AnADDkro4T
7:43 p.m. : The American journalist Grant Wahl, who died tragically during the Argentina / Netherlands match last night, should have been with us this evening in the press gallery. To pay tribute to him, Fifa placed flowers and a photo of him on the desk he should have used.
7:35 p.m. : Good evening Pierre and Raphaël, happy to see you again… yesterday in Buenos Aires it was 37 degrees but I can tell you that the Argentinians did not need that to warm up… 10 minutes after the last shot on goal a monumental storm descended on the city. Maradona must have been partying up there…
7:35 p.m. : An anecdote from our faithful reader from Buenos Aires, about Argentina qualifying yesterday. Note that three drops are also announced in Doha in the evening. And it doesn’t happen often.
7:34 p.m. : At this rate, we are heading towards a Croatia-Morocco final. Nice victory over the football money of the big teams
7:33 p.m. : 3 all over my side, there should be a lot of goals
7:33 p.m. : I said 1-0 for the Blues!
7:31 p.m. : Pssst, it’s time for the traditional predictions: I’ll pick up the copies in 10 minutes! While waiting for you, let’s get started: French victory for comrades Pierre Godon (3-1), Andréa La Perna (2-1 after extra time), Marie-Adélaïde (2-1 without extra time) and myself (2-0 ). On the other hand, here are the names of the two who play it counter-programming: Denis Ménétrier and Yann Thompson (3-2 England, they tell me).
7:30 p.m. : The exit of the Blues in the warm-up! ?????????? | #ANGFRA | #ProudToBeBlues
7:29 p.m. : A good half hour before kick-off, the stadium is not full, but it is the entry into the warm-up of the England team which has been greeted by a clamor. Will the applause meter be English tonight? So far, supporters of the Three Lions have been quite discreet in this World Cup.
7:22 p.m. : @kat In fact, we have rather micro-cuts of 30 seconds. Usually when something is happening. But hey, we’re not going to let technical difficulties get us down! Note that the air conditioning in the stadium did not suffer from any micro-cuts, and that’s a shame.
7:22 p.m. : The connection with Qatar is difficult? Will she last until the end of the match?
7:19 p.m. : Goodnight all ! Or rather “good evening k;l9)¨ùà” (yes because the internet connection of the biggest football competition in the world reminds me of my Wanadoo era).
7:19 p.m. : Good evening Marie-Ad’, good evening to all! It’s an understatement to say that we are excited as chips at the idea of making you live from the Al-Bayt stadium this boiling quarter-final between France and England! You will notice that we put on a little wool, it started to get cold (understand 20 degrees instead of 30) since this morning.
7:17 p.m. : I thought I was going to have to do the live alone for the France-England match tonight. Luckily for me (and for you!), reinforcements have arrived. We welcome Pierre and Raphaël! 
6:57 p.m. : Klaxons concert place de l’étoile, already squared by the police. https://t.co/n1muL6WwYX
6:57 p.m. : It’s already singing in line 6, heading to the Champs Elysées for Moroccan supporters ??? #PORMAR https://t.co/n6IqVf3GK8
6:56 p.m. : Horns, flags, cries of joy… In Paris, Moroccan supporters show their happiness on the Champs-Elysées, after the victory of the Atlas Lions against Portugal in the quarter-finals (1-0). One of our journalists is on site.
6:50 p.m. : England line-up, with Walker on the right of defence. No change compared to Senegal. Sterling is on the bench. #ANGFRA #Qatar2022
6:48 p.m. : And here is the composition of the England team. We also find there not really any change compared to the meeting against Senegal.
6:47 p.m. : ?? Absolutely no change in the Blues starting XI. Didier Deschamps renews exactly the same players as against Poland and Denmark #ANGFRA https://t.co/3GRD2jQYVR
6:42 p.m. : France aligns its typical team tonight against England, in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. This meeting will also mark the 143rd selection for Hugo Lloris, a record for a player in the France team.
6:26 p.m. : English supporter, in French in the text, in a London pub: “we won’t go in half, we prefer to go in pints!”
6:25 p.m. : Many of you in the comments dream of a semi-final between Morocco and France. For that, the Blues will of course have to beat England tonight at 8 p.m. In a London pub, our journalist met an English supporter who has nothing to do with these semi-finals. Aaaah… English humor!
6:06 p.m. : Congratulations to Moroccans The magic of football, sport ?? Come on blues ??⚽️
6:06 p.m. : Even if there is still tonight’s match, if there are those who have bet on Morocco in the semi-finals, it will be a jackpot! More seriously, congratulations to the Moroccans.
