I think this world cup would be one of the best for the african teams one managed to take the fourth place and senegal managed to get to the knock out stage unfortunatly for them they faced england and the others tunisia, ghana and cameroon showed good performance and they managed to beat some strong teams like brazil and france this means that the african teams had improved hugely in recent years and we might see more of them on the later stages in the next world cups.

The fact that Morocco set a new record by going to the semi finals is a really inspiring step for the African team,and as beautiful as it is a newspaper in Israel more precisely the Jerusalem Post had their front page with the title of the article "We are all Morocco" showing support to the African team and of course Israel hoping one day to be playing in the World Cup and performing well too.

Many African teams will not be afraid and also will not feel inferior to any European,American or South American teams and they will face it like equals,something that they have always suffered in silence,the feeling of being inferior will be removed once and for good now.

Morocco has set good standard for other Africa team, their quality performance will be what other Africa teams would want to emulate. Teams like Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal will pick challenge just to be as Morocco.
Morocco win is a victory for all african.

For Morocco this world cup will be an experience for them to prepare to do better in the next world cup. For Morocco to reach the semi-finals I feel as if they have win something so big nobody could ever thought they will get this world cup.

They won the respect for the World but let's be more realistic. In the next 4 years, Spanish players will be more experienced. Portugal will be more powerful. France will remain the same if not better. Argentina might drop and Brazil will return. It is hard to think that Morocco could play better in the next World Cup. I assume they will be like Algeria when they popped then missed big. Morocco might remain stable or be a little better but the other teams will improve a lot. Even Germany will not remain the same.

I don't really agree with you, Morocco has quite a lot of great players who play in the European leagues, so what they are currently doing (entering the semifinals of the world cup) will definitely be able to get them back in the next world cup

the golden generation of morocco will definitely prove once again that they are a team that will keep consistent going forward

The 2022 fifa world cup have come and finally it is going, and Argentina after going through a tough battle against France, made it and came out victorious, right here and now, I can only imagine the kind of jubilation that will be in the whole of Argentina right now, France gave Argentina a really tough time, but I am happy for them, most especially Messi, he needed to win this cup more than anything else, I am glad he didn't fail in actualizing this dream, a big congratulations to them.

Argentina's victory was expected by the entire globe, and I'm pleased it actually happened. Fans of Messi have been waiting a long time to see their beloved football hero win the world cup, making him the only player in the last century to have won every major football trophy.

Argentina was dealt a really difficult hand by France, which made me wonder if Argentina would be able to withstand the pressure France puts on them in the second half. I'm happy Argentina won the game on a penalty shot in the end.

Argentina deserves to win the World Cup, Messi also deserve to win a world before he gets retired. This victory proves he is a legend indeed. Many people believe Argentina will win the world cup because they have what it takes to win the World Cup. Messi is a real legend, he never gave up even France were putting more energy.

Argentina did deserve to win any thing because Argentina play very well in the first half but the second half Argentina did not play anything because mbappe showed that it doesn't have the strength to win the match just like that because i believe that, what is happening, and without coman penalty that he missed or illoris catch one ball they would not win France

At the first place, I never believed that Messi is going to be win the world cup which is still very surprising to many persons because France that should have win then match was not able to win because of the way there players were playing which had lots of mistakes and chances to have scored more than five goals. Finally the world cup is over and Messi had just break the record.

I have to say that this was one of the best football matches of all time especially has to be the best match ever played in the World Cup. Both France and Argentina played an exemplary amount of football and gave a great show for the audience.

I am personally really happy for Lionel Messi as he was deprived of the World Cup in 2014 and were out of the semi-finals in 2018 if I'm not wrong. He cannot finally lift the World Cup which he has been longing for a long time. I actually feel bad for Kylian Mbappe as even after scoring a Hattrick in the finals of the World Cup he is unable to lift the great trophy.

I think that Mbapé must learn many things, the first, he must not think he is better than the others, he must be a more humble player, he cannot mess with so many people and say that football in Europe is more advanced than in South America, because he cannot It is, and I think that the lesson was raw, if they had been so advanced they would have won the Cop very easily, but you cannot mess with the South Americans, with the Brazilians, Argentines, Colombians, and all those who play soccer here, the lesson is If you don't learn it, you won't be able to win anymore, even if you are the best of all, despite everything, football is very fair and things happen because they should be, in the case of African footballers, I think they were very well represented in this World Cup For Morocco, in particular I am always moved to see the Africans play, because they play with a lot of passion.

World Cup Third Place Match Recap: Croatia 2-1 Morocco | Modric goes out with a win

Quote

The second half started at pace and it was Orsic who almost put the Croatians up by two with a wicked shot that was deflected wide by Jawad El Yamiq. The game settled down and Croatia started to sit back and then look for a counter attack to put the game out of the Morocco’s reach.

Morocco made another move and brought on Azzedine Ounahi. The wide midfielder has been one of the breakout stars of this World Cup. He came on for the 18 year old Genk midfielder Bilal El Khannouss who was playing in his first World Cup game after only making 16 senior appearances at club level in his career. Dari and Boufal were then replaced by Badr Benoun and Anass Zaroury.

Undoubtedly, this game should have been lived with great intensity in AFRICA, this will serve a lot to correct what they must correct and assume everything that comes from now on.

Morocco played poorly in the third place of the tournament, I believe they will do well in the next 2026 world cup tournament. I was not expecting Morocco to perform the way they did. As it is Argentina is playing more than France by far. Argentina defense is very tight now. France can't penetrate to Argentina defense. France has to regroup themselves for the second half of the game. If France equalize for the second half then they will play penalty. But if they fail to score then Argentina will take the cup.

I think what made Morocco to play in that way was because of much pressure on them after France score the first within a short time after the match started . But I still respect Morocco, their performance was so good like one of the European teams.

You think Argentina, with a better-suited coach and some exciting young stars, a team that has been better than every other country in the last three years, would drop after winning the World Cup because Messi might retire? Don't you think these young stars will be more motivated because they only have themselves to rely on? Morocco's performance was a dice roll and nothing more; they will not improve from here; they were only motivated and did not have any potential teams like Spain, France, or Brazil. Portugal's team is old, and their young players are prone to injury; when Ronaldo retires, they will be a joke

still waiting for those who said the world cup was rigged/scripted for Argentina to win. Grin

Senegal team was considered as the only strong team in Africa in this World Cup. Had Sadio Mane not been injured, we might have seen a better performance from Senegal. Even then, Senegal performed well enough without Sadio Mane.
Morocco's performance in this World Cup has surprised everyone. No one expected Morocco to qualify for the semi-finals. Their gameplay and team work is amazing. I think Morocco has a chance to win today's match against Croatia. But there is no doubt that the match will be competitive.

This year's world cup is a lot difficult and competitive judging from the surprising results we have seen. Although if Sadio Mane was present for the Senegalese team it would have been a lot better because he would strengthen the team's attack and make them solid going forward but his absence came as a huge blow demoralized the team's confidence going into the competition, he would have done everything possible to boost the team's confidence.

However, Sadio Mane was not with the Senegal squad. However, Senegal managed to qualify for the knockout rounds. They performed very well in the group stage. But they returned home after losing in the knockout round against mighty England. If Sadio Mane had stayed with the squad, Senegal's players would have been more confident and their attack would have been stronger. Senegal is unfortunate not to have Sadio Mane with the squad for the World Cup.

Things might not even have been much different with Mane. Then they would probably also have become 2nd in the group and they would have lost against England in the eighth final. But then he might have had a little more influence on the rest of the team. And in the end, Mane is just Mane, not Messi or Mbappe. Maybe he is less powerful if you put him in a less good team. In Africa you have the Africa Cup every year, Senegal can now fully focus on that again. According to the ranking, Senegal is still the strongest African country, but I think that because of the World Cup we have to conclude that maybe Morocco is the strongest country?

Everyone had high expectations from Senegal in this World Cup. But Morocco surprised everyone with their performance. I don't think they even imagined they would qualify for the semi-finals. They played very well. Now, if African teams want to continue this streak, they need to focus on developing strikers. The performance of African teams is poor due to the lack of experienced strikers.

A significant part of the players from the African national teams are already playing in Europe and most likely after this World Cup their number will increase, as many have shown themselves well and should receive offers from European clubs. This will give a great impetus to the further success of the African teams.
And I also wonder if the result of Morocco will be inspiring for the rest of the teams, or will it be an unrealistic bar that will put pressure on psychologically? Previously, even the African tops could play liberated, since few people expected a good performance from them in terms of prizes, and now any result will be compared with 4th place.

It's rare that a team that was successful in the World Cup can be successful again in the next World Cup because there will be changes to their squad also for the next World Cup they will start from scratch, from the qualification also the teams they face will depend a lot on the draw, but you are right what Morocco has achieved this time is amazing even though they couldn't get third place but yesterday's match they have tried to equalize after going down 2-1 but unfortunately none of the chances worked and they fell short as third place but they have managed to make the betting world into so hard to predict.

Croatia won the match with the contribution of their experienced football players. Morocco also have really good quality players, but in matches at this level, experience is as important as quality. That's why I think Croatia deserved the win... Morocco won the respect of the masses with this tournament. Also, I think Sofiane Boufal and Izzeddin Unahi have a chance to be transferred to a better team than Angers. Also, I read news that Sofyan Amrabat is already on the radar of big clubs...

Morocco won the respect of the world with their exceptional performance and the fact that they kicked Belgium and Spain among other teams from the World Cup.
It is unfortunate they lost vs Croatia but this is football after all.
Morocco is becoming the best African team to achieve such record for their continent and deserve much respect.

For Morocco this world cup will be an experience for them to prepare to do better in the next world cup. For Morocco to reach the semi-finals I feel as if they have win something so big nobody could ever thought they will get this world cup.
