A look at what's ahead in the World Cup
France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is facing a Belgian team that has scored a tournament-leading 14 goals in five matches when they meet in the semifinals in St. Petersburg.
The 31-year-old Lloris describes the Belgium lineup as "quite simply, the most complete side in the tournament, in all aspects of the game."Apart from the experience of 103 international appearances, Lloris has a few other things going his way when he's trying to stop them — including the fact he's faced many of the Belgians already while playing for Tottenham in the Premier League.
"We know them well. For my part I have three Tottenham teammates," Lloris said. "There will be a lot of great players on the pitch.
"To beat them, we'll have to make our own luck ... we'll have to be ready to suffer. But we will be, because there's a great spirit in this side."Set pieces have been the main source of goals at the tournament in Russia - 42 percent, no less - and England has been the master of that department on its run to Wednesday's semifinal match against Croatia.
