Thibaut Courtois claims France weren’t the best team they faced in World Cup

Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insisted that his Belgium side were better after they went down 1-0 to France in the World Cup semi-finals. And Chelsea's goalkeeper says the French display reminded him of Panama, who Belgium beat 3-0 in their opening match in Group G. "I wouldn't say the team in front of us was better than us," he told beIN Sports . "The team in front of us has defended well with 11 players 35 meters before their goal. And they've done this the whole tournament. Against Uruguay they score with a free kick. Today a goal from a corner. Pity, but that's football.
