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.

The French team made some tactical changes that perplexed Morocco play style and made France even harder to challenge. It is unfortunate to see Morocco leaving the race after all the efforts made before the final game, nevertheless, they should play good against Croatia to bring something precious for their country and for African.
Even if they lose the match against Croatia and finish at the 4th place, they should not be too disappointed. Initially no one even believed that Morocco will be able to qualify for the pre-quarter finals. They were placed in a very tough group along with Belgium and Croatia. Most of us thought that they will finish at the 3rd place in their group. And they topped their group in the end. And in knockout stage, they managed to defeat two of the strongest opponents possible - Spain and Portugal (both of them were considered as tournament favorites).

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. Who would have thought that an African nation would get to the World Cup semifinals? Who knows, perhaps another African team will advance to this round of the world cup.

To a great extent Morocco team have performed beyond expectation because no one even expected them to play in the qualifying stage of the world cup but their we're able to face France tonight giving them a run off for the winning, and as you know football is an unpredictable games and the lord of soccer was with France but above all, Morocco really made the entire African proud tonight.
And I wish them all the best in their last match in the world cup against Croatia for the third place in the competition.
Morocco's overall World Cup performance has been outstanding; they have made history by becoming the first African team to advance to the semifinals, and they have also advanced because they are playing better football than other teams. I wish them luck and am hopeful that they will defeat Croatia to finish the tournament in third place. And I wish them all the best in their last match in the world cup against Croatia for the third place in the competition.

Being unbeaten till this very encounter against France is still a morale booster. Despite losing 1-0 is not going to stop them from fighting for Africa, they can still come back to equalize this game only if they make use of any little chances they have and it will affect the France team more than they expected.
Well, right now, it's France 2 and Morocco 0, I think is over for Morocco, they have done their best, they played so well against France today but unfortunately, they squandered alot of opportunities which I am particularly not happy about, another things is being too careless which is how they conceded the second goal, it's very annoying but all the same, it is what it is, Morocco was never expected to win anyway.Congratulations to France and good luck to them playing against Argentina in the finals.
Yes, the game is over for Morocco because with just 5 minutes of added time there is no way they can perform a miracle to come back in this game against the defending champions France. Morocco's performance was very good but they lacked the ability to convert their chances to score goals and they also got demoralized by the first goal of France that was scored barely 5 minutes of the game in the first half I think they would have given France a tough time if the goal was not scored.
The second goal that was scored by France was not a result of carelessness rather it was caused by pressure that the French players mounted on the defenders of Morocco so I don't think we should place the blame on the players because this is the first time they are getting to this stage and they played against the best team in the world right now and also the defending champions.

Morocco did a great job. By the way, they should not have lost to France tonight. What strikes me is that the favor factor is extremely high throughout Africa. All African countries were all for Morocco tonight. I don't see that happening anytime soon in Europe and South America. There they like to keep going when the neighboring countries lose, and preferably with as large numbers as possible. For example Brazil and Argentina. But Morocco has shown that it has a very strong team. Perhaps a better team than Senegal, while they are significantly lower in the rankings?

I really don't know how Morocco are feeling right now going close to the end of the first half a goal down after been labeled the team with the best defense in the competition. Can they dig themselves out of this, I don't think so, their game plan was to defend and push the game to penalties looking at the 5 defenders they used.... But sorry to say but it's pretty much end of the road for the Arab nation but history has been written for them which should be a big plus for them.
The Moroccan national team will not remain idly by, but will try to create opportunities to reach the French goal net. The Moroccan national team has some elements that feel tired and exhausted, so the coach must make some changes from facing France.
Now Morocco is behind by a goal and has nothing to lose. It must advance more and surprise the opponent.

Morocco played a very good football, they have team work and have more chance than France. They played France on the first half but were not too good in their attack which is why they were not able to level the score yet. With this performance, Morocco may level the score early second half unless if France improved their defense and midfield.I am impressed with Morocco performance in this first half of the match.

Morocco has already made history, made Africans proud, and improved the value of African teams in the world of football.
Whatever the result from the game is whether it is in favor of Morocco or France, I will still be proud of Morocco and how far they have taken the African name. It will be great if they can shock us more, it is not impossible, they have been underrated and have done the unbelievable. Many people say the game is a game between two African countries, but me I want the the real African country in the finals. I hope they have not settled already that they have come far enough and there is no need to fight extra as they can fight for the third place if they loose this game, they have not conceded any goal yet in the world cup, they should try not to concede an early goal to ruin that record.

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.
Due to his personal efforts on behalf of his team, which helped them reach their first World Cup Semifinal, Hakim Ziyech is the only player from the list of players above who will undoubtedly win the vote. I hope Morocco wins today to create the best history ever because the entire African continent is behind them. Morocco has already made history, made Africans proud, and improved the value of African teams in the world of football.

I think France will not find an easy opponent tonight. They will play with a team that eliminated Spain and Portugal from the tournament. Actually, I always saw France as my favourite. But the Moroccan national team have a very different football style. We saw that they defended very well and counterattacked very well against Spain and Portugal. They will definitely continue their good game in the France match. I was going to bet on the victory of France. But I will place a bet based on goal predictions. Because I think it will be a more secure choice. The Moroccan national team have defended very well so far. I think the defensive aspects will come to the fore in this game as well. Also, goalkeeper Bono is a very good goalkeeper. If he manages to show a little good performance in this match, he can affect the match. He made very successful saves in previous matches.
I believe many are overrating Morocco, yes, they are the team that eliminated Spain and Portugal. But never forget that they eliminated Spain at the lesser stage as the team underestimated them. And as for Portugal, I believe it's the coach's error, how could you not use your most-star player in such a match? I'm just narrating this so that you will douse the tempo you have for Morocco. They might win or lose, but with what I expect, France would have it easy against them. Do you know why? They will not take the team lightly to avoid the mistakes of Spain and Portugal.

This is without a doubt the weirdest of all world cups,it had the biggest number of upsets where a lot of people lost a lot of money and yes football is unpredictable,
And yet I have still heard some people say that the world cup is rigged to favor Lionel Messi, I keep wondering how people can nurse this kind of thinking when the games have been clearly contested. The strategy of France when they play Morocco will be almost the same as what Portugal tried to do at the remaining minutes of the game where they were crossing the ball into the Moroccan half, we know how good France are in the air with Giroud who is still on scoring form, If Morocco cannot defend properly and not give a chance to France to cross the ball in and for Mbappe to run in behind them, they will have a chance at eliminating the defending champions. An early goal for Morocco as well will also be an advantage.
Did you in anyway watch the game Portugal played against Morocco ?! How can they appoint five Argentines for that game. ?! Though the game wasn't biased in anyway way but that doesn't seem right and good.
The Penalty last night wasn't worth it and if it was Ronaldo scoring penalties they're already making bunch of noise bout it all.
If Morocco scores before France, believe me you, that the game has already been settled as I don't think France will get a single goal if they don't score before Morocco, same goes to Morocco as they will he won mercilessly by france.
Let thr best side win and take the trophies.

Argentina win today has made the chances of Morroco and Africa winning the World Cup smaller. If Crotia would have gone to the finals and Morroco eventually survives France, it will not be a difficult task for Morroco.
But as it stands now, even if Morroco tries to win France, the final will still be very difficult for them.
But I sincerely wish them well but i didn't think this will be the World Cup of the underdogs

It's already the World Cup of the underdogs, as many underdogs showed the world that they shouldn't be overlooked as football is a game anybody can win provided there's determination and luck on their side. Morocco can beat France and Morocco can beat Argentina as well. Croatia has just been lucky this world cup and hasn't won any of their knockout games, just been hanging in until the fulltime is played and they go to penalty stages but Morocco has won games people taught were impossible to win. Don't think If Morocco somehow meet Argentina at the finals that they won't give in all they got knowing chances like this mightn't present itself again in the future.
Morocco has already defeated all odds against them, today as they play France both the African continent and the Arabic countries are all routing for them. The should go make us proud as they defeated our African brother that denied their root to go play for France. Things like this are what makes the Africa teams weak because our best exports has been bought by the foreigners to play for them while we settle for second bests.
Even if Senegal would have faced any of the other teams at the time when they clashed with England they would most probably been also eliminated,in fact England was one of the easier teams that they lost the game by themselves when they missed so many goal occasions in the first half but could not score and then second half England scored 3 goals.
Tonight I expect a tight game with goals and I don't know how it will end but I know for sure it is going to be most probably under 2.5 goals and not over 2.5 goals because Morocco has the best defense and they will try to defend very hard tonight trying to get the game to penalties.
