Turning to the latest from the World Cup in Russia.
We now know that the winner of this year's World Cup will be from Europe after the final two non-European countries -- Uruguay and Brazil -- were eliminated on Friday.
In the day's first quarterfinal, France beat Uruguay two-nil thanks to goals from Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann.
In the later game, Belgium -- who are proving to be this year's dark horse -- knocked out five-time winners Brazil,... winning two-one.
Belgium's goals coming through an own goal and a nice effort from Kevin de Bruyne.
France and Belgium will now go head-to-head in the semifinal.
Later Saturday, England take on Sweden.
Kick off for that is 11PM, Korea time.
The quarterfinal action concludes at 3AM, Sunday Korea time, with the host nation Russia going against Croatia.
