A “feeling of waste” for the RTBF commentator
“More than yesterday’s match, it is this whole Euro that brings the most feelings of waste,” writes Vincent Langendries about Belgium. “The initial setback against Slovakia will have conditioned everything. The ambient nervousness, the lack of confidence of the supporters, the questioning of our lack of efficiency. The draw, really zero, against Ukraine will have conditioned the rest of the Devils’ journey.”
The commentator describes the match against Les Bleus as a “tactical-tactical encounter that, on one detail, sends us home. Deschamps-Tedesco 1-0.” What was the result? “Belgium (apart from this first half against Romania) missed its meeting. The one that a new wave had promised to approach with panache, with audacity. None of that.”
Beautiful tribute to Claude François on the front page of our Belgian neighbors
Mbappé has “a few weeks, even a few months” with his mask according to Dédé… Details right here
Waving a Messi jersey in front of Cristiano is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Except that with CR7, you’re sure that you’re not at risk

It’s time for a coffee break, and to read the article on Jules Koundé from our special correspondent in Germany!
Mike Maignan, “the best goalkeeper of the tournament”
Rudi Garcia gives his analysis of the France-Belgium match in the columns of L’Equipe. What do we remember? “The Belgians did not deserve to see the quarter-finals. But we were not excellent. 10% of shots on target out of twenty is very few, too few at this level. We can only improve,” believes the former OM coach.
Positive point: “We have the best goalkeeper in the tournament with Mike Maignan. He is at a very high level and we owe it to him to stay in the matches. We are very strong defensively. But I also liked the attitudes against the Belgians. There was great solidarity and always accurate interventions (…) This solidity can allow us to go far. But we will have to find our efficiency again. It is obvious.”
20 shots and still no goal… Cristiano is taking more and more inspiration from Mbappé it seems

As a reminder, the Bayern winger left the group yesterday evening following the match against Belgium to join his partner, who is preparing to give birth in Sweden.
Philippe Diallo is a happy man!
The FFF president spoke to L’Equipe: “It’s deserved because, even if we still missed a few chances up front, the team was extremely solid. It dominated its subject and, once again, the players responded. I’m very satisfied, but we know our objectives, we still have matches to win.”
“I am also very happy for Didier Deschamps, because he showed once again that he knew how to coach his team with the return of Randal (Kolo Muani). He managed to ensure that we broke the Belgian barrier.”
Raducanu, the “ugly win” like Southgate’s England
Emma Raducanu won her first round match at Wimbledon on Monday against Zarazua, and she made reference to the Three Lions afterwards.
“I was nervous, I think everyone could see that in my tennis, but at the end of the day you have to do whatever it takes to get over the line. It wasn’t perfect. (…) Honestly, watching the football last night, it was an ugly win, but that’s all that matters!”
“He teaches us all a lesson, never to give up.”
Selecao coach Roberto Martinez said Ronaldo’s emotions showed how much he still cared about staying in contention at his sixth European Championship, despite a long and illustrious career.
“The emotions are incredible for someone who has done so much, that’s why I thank him… Only penalty takers can miss a penalty. I knew he had to be the first taker (in the penalty shootout) and show us the way to victory. Everyone is very proud of our captain. He is teaching us all a lesson, to be very demanding and never give up.”
Midfielder Palhinha praised Portugal’s “collective effort and unity” as well as Cristiano Ronaldo’s reaction to his missed penalty. “The team is always behind him. He’s already scored so many penalties, and he’s achieved so much in football… He had the courage to take the ball and score during the session,” he said.
We start with a dose of Cristiano Ronaldo, obviously.
“I missed the penalty, but I wanted to be the first to shoot during the penalty shootout,” CR7 reacted last night. “You have to take responsibility when the team needs it. You can’t be afraid. I’ve never been afraid to face challenges, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don’t.”
Hello fans of the Blues, are you wide awake?
If you ever fell asleep during France-Belgium, which is easily excused, know that the return of Randal Kolo Muani has changed everything and that France is in the quarter-finals of this German Euro. No, it’s not a joke, and the Blues now have a date in Hamburg with Portugal, Friday (9 p.m.).
Until then, there are two remaining eighth-round matches to play on Tuesday. Romania and the Netherlands face each other in Munich (6 p.m.) and then Austria and Turkey meet in Leipzig (9 p.m.).
“Because when you think there’s no more football, there still is, we stay together all day long
