Over the weekend, the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals saw four UEFA teams advance to the semifinals. Croatia needed penalty kicks to defeat Russia after a breathtaking equalizer from the host nation in the 115th minute still advanced. England roused themselves from a normally defensive state to deliver two goals on set-pieces to knockout Sweden. Belgium shocked five-time World Cup champs Brazil with an early onslaught and then held on for the 2-1 win, and then France defeated Uruguay. Now with semifinal matches set for Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s time to take a look at World Cup semifinals betting previews for the penultimate round of what has been a shocking tournament, as two of the semifinalist (Croatia and Belgium) have never won a World Cup, and for France it’s been a drought of twenty years — while for England, they have not made a semifinal since 1990 and have not won the whole thing since they hosted it in 1966.
