Morocco did not win the semi-final match, but won the hearts of almost everyone. Their successful games marked the tournament and some of their players came to the fore with this tournament. I think one of them was Sofyan Amrabat. In the second half of last night's game, Mbappe's attack from the left, he sprinted brilliantly and stole the ball with great timing. I likened his playing style to Patrick Vieira. His confident movements in positions reminded me of Patrick Vieira. He is a little faster than Patrick Vieira, his technique is not as good as Patrick Vieira, but he is very similar to him with his playing style.

Morocco was by far the most dangerous team yesterday, and they had the most scoring opportunities, but they didn't take advantage of them; I think they were a little unlucky. Had they taken their chances, the outcome might have been different.

There is no downplay anywhere because if you really mean effort and energy then Brazil and Portugal wouldn't have gotten defeated in the first place. This world cup is really u predictable that is why we are seeing so many strange things happening in most of the matches. Morocco had really tried there best to reach quarter final which is very impressive. I hope to see them next time doing much better.

Portugal was completely outplayed by Morocco, I'd say Morocco was better prepared than Portugal. I can't say the same for Brazil because they lost in a penalty shootout. In order to succeed in football, you must be organized and possibly have a little bit of luck.

I am proud of Morocco even though they didn't win France. But they dominated the match. Football is a game of luck that means France was lucky to win the match upon all the attacks from the opponent.

Football isn't a game of luck, but sometimes you can become lucky and that happens in every field of life. Morocco didn't use luck to get to the semi finals, they deserved it as they were the better side for almost all the matches they played. They had the best defense in this world cup tournament and conceding just three goals of which two came in their last game to knock them out of the tournament and the other was a home goal in previous match. France on paper are a better team with more experience than Morocco so it's no surprise they won. They're the current champions and are the best team to defeat Argentina (who has been favoured all through this tournament).

France are more like an African team and I can relate with them so they're my obvious pick to win it all. The goodnews I read online was that Real Madrid has given Benzema a go ahead to participate in the finals. This is goodnews as France has additional support if they find it difficult to break the Argentina defense which I don't think it'll be hard to achieved.

Morocco did not depend on luck to get to the semi finals of the world cup, getting to the semi finals was well deserved because they were outstanding and very impressive from the first game of the group stages so placing them in a space of luck kind of downplay the hard work the coaches and the players put in to get that far in the competition. They have represented Africa and I am proud of them for their efforts.

The world cup is very impressive to me seeing Messi reaching the final round with his team mates fr Argentina also seeing France which was the country that won the previous world cup defeating Croatia to win the world cup.

The major absentee from the World Cup was Egypt, which always managed to assemble a decent team. Senegal may have been somewhat disappointing at the World Cup, but if you lose the first match against the Netherlands, you know that it will also be very difficult. It was great that they still managed to qualify for the eighth finals, but you saw the big difference in strength with England. Morocco has reached the semi-finals, I don't think there will be a country from Africa that will ever do so well again. It had also never been seen before. Cameroon was close in 1990 but gave away a 2-1 lead against England.

Some people are saying that African football is for fun while their counterparts are to win trophies. And when I critically or mere looking into the saying, there is an element of truth. I will accept the saying until no see African team wins the world cup tournament

I think you are greatly mistaken, since the ability to realize goal moments is one of the main factors of skill. There is no luck here, only skill. Morocco were almost on equal footing with France yesterday, but France has more skillful players, so they were more effective and deservedly won.
It will be very interesting to watch the game for third place as Croatia is a tough nut to crack and if Morocco wants bronze they will have to give it their all again.

Morocco conceded an unfortunate goal at the start of the match. I think this goal came really early and messed up all of Morocco's game plans. Despite this, they played well against France. They were the dominant side throughout the match and they had many scoring chances but were unable to balance the score. Especially if El Yamiq's aesthetic volley shot had been a goal, the match could have entered a very different atmosphere. Frankly, before the match, I thought that France would win the match more easily, but they did not win this match easily. They scored an early goal and took advantage of the score throughout the game. Morocco were close to reaching the final in this match. If they had been a little more accurate on the final shots, we could be talking about a huge surprise today.

Morocco controlled/possessed the ball more than France but France used the small opportunity given to very well and scored their goals. Morocco has a good defense but the strikers are the problem and also Morocco would scored the most powerful goal in the tournament but ball touched the goalkeeper's hand. Morocco was really having the confidence to equalize and that was why they were playing with all their alacrity but irony was the case. But they still make African proud. I was not expecting Morocco to come this far. Most of the Africans were supporting Senegal to come this far but pull out on the way. The way Morocco played yesterday was impressed by many Africans.

At times football comes with luck also, who'll find yourself not stressing and everything goes in favor of you that day that moments, most I've experienced is with hard work, you have got to work hard before you get a deserving win.
For Man, Our Moroccan brothers didn't get to the level they're lightly, imagine beating two European sides and one calls that luck ?! Damnit! Give credit to who deserves it.

Well played yesterday, the happiness is that two players in the Manchester United squad are in the finals together and one of em will definitely emerge as the winner. In as much as I don't want Argentina winning, I'll still want to remain neutral.

Karim Benzema back ? That's wonderful news, Sweet Jesus! I'm keen to see what formation Didier Deschamps uses, Argentines are good defending side's, I can bet they'll keep anyone silent, but best they start with Oliver Giroud since he's got a better height than those defender's.

There is a vote on top and only two answered for the moment.
I voted France since they are more powerful in case they will be able to limit the movement of Messi. If they fail to limit him then Argentina will win tho.
Deschamps is accommodating the team regarding their opponents tactics and weakness.
Otherwise, I think a poll with the winners of the last games poll would be interesting too:
- France - Morocco
- France - Croatia
- Argentina - Morocco
- Argentina - Croatia

Yes definitely morocco showed the world that football cannot only be played and dominated by European, an African team can also play the world class football and can show defeat to strongest teams like Spain, Portugal. Morocco proved the world that they know how to play and enjoy football.

Tomorrow Moroccan team performed wonderfully well during the tournament. They came to win and with that mindset they were able to beat 5 top European teams. And even though they didn't proceed to the finals, I see them winning the third place in the tournament. I also see most of their players playing for top clubs and top leagues and going even further to win championships. Congratulations to them it wasn't easy.

*Edit The Moroccan team.(Silly typo)

no doubt Morroca performed well in the Qatar world cup, as An African team they did Their best to represent. We have other countries that are been doing well too. Senegal and Cameron also did well too. Regarded what happened to them in the world cup, I still believe Africa team will win the world cup some days. If only the CAF group reduce corruption in Africa football at all around. Corruption is killing Africa performance in top tournament.

Congratulations to Morroco, I believe they will the bronze on Saturday against Croatia

Which on is tomorrow Morrocan team performed wonderfully well? Are you trying to confuse us? Or it's a mistake. Meanwhile I am very proud of Morroco about their world cup performance. They didn't play like inferior to anyone and no country will brag that they defeated Morocco easily.
The third place battle will even be a stronger one than the one they face with France.

Morocco has a chance to bring home the bronze for all of us Africans. They shouldn't act the way they did when they faced France. Let them play Croatia in an attacking and defending style.

In the match for third place, the two teams have almost the same game system, both of them are good at defense and also their weakness in the semifinals. Hopefully, in the match, both teams will play more openly and give an interesting performance to watch, although I rarely watched the match for the bronze medal because often seeing it both teams would play softer and reduce the tempo of the game.

Moroccans are better than Croatians according to my analysis of the two teams, and I will book Morocco to win third place. They gave France a tough time with a higher ball possession which Croatians wouldn't have been able to do. Their defence is good enough and their goalkeeper is great, all they need is to work on their attack, they don't really have that against strong teams, and it would be a problem for them if they are facing Croatia.

The match might end up in a penalty shootout if they would not be so aggressive in scoring goals.

I vote for Hakim Ziyech, and many agree that he can be one of the best African players in this World Cup, their success in reaching the semifinals is truly extraordinary and no one predicted that a team outside Europe and America could do it and they made history, don't want to comment on the match later where they will play against France, whether this will be France's second consecutive Final or will there be a new history where Morocco will go to the Final.

I see him as one of the beet player Africa have now. This world cup is a good experience for Morocco, it is a history for Morocco. Morocco played a standard football to world cup standard, their passes was accurate. Morocco was not lucky to make a goal but performance was still quality and standard, accurate passes. They proved to the world they are world cup standard without much confidence to play against any team to win.

I would continue to support Morocco despite their terrible first- and second-half performances and the incorrect defensive formation that contributed to their loss since they did Africa proud.

Morocco were not terrible in the first half, it was just a slight defensive error that led to the early goal that forced them to change their playing style. If you noticed in the game they had more possession than France which is not their normal style and France were more on the defensive but looked more dangerous anytime they attacked. Morocco were able to create enough chances that would have gotten them the equaliser and even win them the game but the noticeably, they do not have a good finisher. There was this very clear chance at goal that Morocco had just before France doubled their lead, but the Moroccan player was sluggishly dribbling and trying to work the ball into the net instead of taking a quick snapshot like Mbappe does. Morocco played well but they were not deadly in attack, France played well too, their defence was not so perfect but they were more deadly anytime they attacked.

Congratulations to Morocco, they have made history and Africa proud.

Morocco have been phenomenal in their semi final they played with all their determination but couldn't produce a goal . They had total control of the ball but attacking factor was not up to the mark . Anyways the whole African world enjoyed Moroccon game and thier strength on field.
Better luck next time.
