FIFA had wiped bookings after the quarter-final stage in 2010 World Cup, meaning any player who would have potentially missed the final if they were to be booked in the semi-final, can now rest easy. However, players are obviously still at risk of missing the greatest show on earth if they are sent off in the semi-finals – and suspended players will not be allowed to sit among the substitutes for the final, of course.
Betting odds for France to win, a draw and Belgium to win are, 2.54, 3.25 and 3.10 respectively. If we consider the chances of win for either team in tie-breaker are equal, then France and Belgium have 53% and 47% chances to win. May the best team win.
