Didier Deschamps’ men progress to the semi-final stage of the quadrennial showpiece has sent Nigerians to cloud nine.


France booked a place in the last-four of the 2018 Fifa World Cup after defeating Uruguay 2-0 on Friday.


Raphael Varane’s header before the interval gave the European nation an early lead before Antoine Griezmann’s shot in the second half sealed the win.

France : why are you crying boys?
Nigeria: Argentina beat we
Scores : France 4 Argentina 3
Ghana: Me too, Uruguay beat me
