Four teams and four games left at Russia 2018 but first it’s France v Belgium and Croatia v England<doc-sep>The greatest sporting event of the year is now approaching its most intense phase. 60 matches have been played and 28 teams have been eliminated. As the 2018 FIFA World Cup semi-finals get underway tomorrow, we are only left with four teams that can stake a legitimate claim to the ultimate trophy in world football. France, Belgium, England and Croatia are the only four sides remaining and we will see France take on Belgium in the first semi-final, while England and Croatia will fight it out in the second semi-final. All four sides have been phenomenal in the competition and will undeniably be disappointed with an elimination at this stage. That being said, all teams are represented by a number of quality players, most of whom play for the top European clubs. In fact, 44 of the 92 players remaining in the competition play for 8 European clubs. While the likes of Barcelona, AS Monaco, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are represented by 4 players each, the top 4 clubs have a staggering combined representation of 28 players. Without further ado, here is a look at the 4 clubs who have the most players playing in the semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup: #4 Chelsea: 5 Players The Chelsea squad celebrates their 2017-18 FA Cup victory after beating Manchester United in the final The winners of the 2017/18 FA Cup, Chelsea may have finished the Premier League season in fifth place, but a number of their players put in good performances to earn themselves spots in their respective national sides. Among the 92 players in the semi-finals of the World Cup, 5 players are from Chelsea. Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois will play huge roles for Belgium. The former has already scored 2 goals and assisted 2 more, while the latter has been solid between the sticks. For France, N'Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud have been crucial thus far and are both are expected to feature in the semi-final. Kante hasn't missed a single minute for France all competition, while Giroud has been an ideal target man, allowing the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe to play off of him. Gary Cahill is Chelsea's 5th player at the semi-finals. He has played only one game for The Three Lions and is expected to warm the bench when England take on Croatia in the second semi-final. 1 / 4 NEXT<doc-sep>Aug 09, 2018 , 2:10PM Nation observes 76th anniversary of Quit India movement today @airnewss To mark the day, the News Services Division of All India Radio will bring you a special live bilingual Radio Bridge Programme tonight on 'NEW INDIA & RELEVANCE OF FREEDOM'.

The 2018 World Cup will know by the end of today who will be in the final and who will fight for 3rd place. England takes on Croatia, with the winner facing France on Sunday for the World Cup trophy. The loser will have a consolation date on Saturday with Belgium. For England, it has been a run that has gripped the country, as this team has a lot of young stars who have seized the moment and are hoping to bring home the title for the first time since 1966. They’ve had some great outings, some tense moments, and they’ve so far lived through them all. They hope to continue that today. On the other side is Croatia, who has performed quite well throughout the tournament but has needed some luck to get to the semifinals. They became the first team to win two consecutive penalty shootouts in the World Cup when they dispatched Denmark in the Round of 16 and then hosts Russia in the quarterfinals. Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic have been fantastic, and Croatia is back in the semifinals for the first time since 1998. Can they break through and make their first final?
