BELGIUM UP ANTI

-

THIBAUT COURTOIS has accused France of parking the bus in their World Cup semi-final win over Belgium. And his Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard claimed he preferred to go down attacking than progressin­g in the French manner. Courtois (right) said: “I’d have preferred to lose to Brazil in the quarter-finals, at least they wanted to play football. France are just an anti-football team. “They defended in their own half the entire time, we shouldn’t have been surprised – they’ve done that all tournament. It’s a shame.”
