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.

I think I agree with your arguments. Many teams which were known as best lost easy matches in this tournament. Who could have guessed Japan was gonna take over Spain and eliminate Germany. Noone. Who guessed Morocco finishing tournament group as leader. And even beat Portugal later on. Noone in my opinion. I think Senegal especially deserved to go more in this tournament. But they had unlucky draw and lost to England.

On the one hand, yes, on the other hand, if we see the final France - Argentina, it will be the final between the two favorites of the tournament. Plus, France can become world champion for the second time in a row, and Argentina can get silver for the second time in the last three championships, and Croatia can get bronze instead of silver from the last tournament. In this scenario, the distribution of rewards looks as boring and "usual" as possible. Today, Morocco has the first chance to really break the pattern (the second chance will be either in the final or in the bronze game).

I don't agree with all these permutations and combinations. If Morocco is destined to win, then they will win irrespective of whomever be their opponents. There is no guarantee that if Croatia was their opponent in the final, then they would win. Now we are talking about a team that has beaten very strong teams such as Belgium, Spain and Portugal. If they can do so much, then it is not an impossible to get two more wins against France and Argentina.

LOL.. this is a world cup of the underdogs, no matter how you want to paint it. During the hundred plus years of world cup history, we never had this many upsets in a single edition. This world cup has already created history, irrespective of what happens in the next three matches.

Well, if achieving greatness was ever easy. I guess a greater number of the world population would all be great individuals, and maybe greatest wouldn't be as great as we see it today, it would be seen as a common thing like we see other common things, greatness wouldn't be celebrated like we celebrate today.

And how do we achieve greatness?
Achieving greatness for most people simply means - doing the impossible, that is getting through successfully with something majority out there believe to be impossible to do.

Morocco beating France today appears impossible for majority of people, and if by chance together with luck and good play, they end up beating France....
Beating Argentina is another task majority think is impossible for Morocco, but if they can get through this two teams successfully, I tell you that Morocco team will automatically become one of the greatest players in the world of football, people will talk about them, celebrate them after this world cup is over and on till the next world cup, because to many, they have done the impossible.
I wish them good luck today.

Morocco really surprised me
he has beaten teams with a history superior to him and I was also amazed by how he plays, very clean and flawless
Certainly thanks to the international experiences of the players who do amazing things when they return home

This is really true because Morocco has amazed everybody since this world cup started,they have been playing really well and are actually making Africans proud with their playing pattern and the way they've been able to knock out big teams like Portugal and the rest.It is indeed a thing of Joy to see an African country reach this far in the world cup,and they might end up surprising everybody the more by winning France.If they are able to win France,it will take them to the final and one might just begin to imagine them win the world cup. I wish them the best of luck.

I like how you guys are happy that Morocco, actually went through being one of the underdogs coming into the competition, fighting all their way to the semi-final being the first African country to achieve it. I think this alone has given Africa 11 slots in the next world cup if I got it correctly. If they get knocked out at this stage it's already a big win for them. Beating France will not be very easy but anything can happen.

Some people are not in for sizing or talking of Morocco because of Morocco is from African country is based on the people who they found in Portugal team but after which Portugal still use the match so is something that made people to be surprised and being interested in Morocco because no one expected Morocco to perform such a way that miracle will be the people that will send c Ronaldo group home or not to qualify to go to final so it is unbelievable

Morocco has the support of the entire continent of Africa, but regrettably, one of their most important plays claims that their victory in the world cup thus far belongs to the Arab world.

Having said that, Morocco has performed admirably; nobody anticipated that they would be the only African team left standing after other teams had left. If I were to assess Morocco's global performance thus far, I would predict that they will defeat France tomorrow. If they can triumph over Spain, Belgium, and Portugal, they can also defeat France tomorrow

France is a more balanced team when compared with Portugal. They have a well balanced attack, with Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé sharing the workload among themselves. On the other hand, Portugal was heavily dependent on Ronaldo (and the coach Fernando Santos made the mistake by benching him for most of the time). Younger players such as João Félix and Rafael Leão were unable to relieve the pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo, and this allowed the Moroccan team to tie down the Portuguese attack. The same tactic won't work against France.

In the game with Morocco, Joao Felix showed himself especially badly. Even in previous games, it was clear that he misses a lot of chances and he has low efficiency, and in the game with Morocco, he also missed a few chances. I don’t think that Portugal is very dependent on Ronaldo, but in any case, he is always able to score a goal, and all those who replaced him could not do anything against Morocco, even with some chances.

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.

When I remember poor Navas getting 7 goals against Spain, I said how unfortunate he was when he has a bad teammates like those.
When the defensive strategy is a failure, the goalkeeper cannot help that much. I mean he can save a goal or two in every match, save more goals in some games but he will not be able to stop everything the defenders let go through them.

Agreed, and that's again why I say we cannot look at a small sample size like World Cup with just 5 games. League performance is much better. I mean, Liverpool has lost to Villa, letting in 7 goals, but that was also an outlier and doesn't mean neither that Alisson sucked or his defenders did.

I don't like to use stats also because weaker teams will let in more shots, so a goalie can seem heroic for stopping 10 shots but most goalies will keep out 10/10 when kept on their toes, it's actually those keepers that stop 1 shot an entire game that's impressive. The concentration you must have to do nothing for 80 minutes and then suddenly be forced to make 1 save, that's what the big bucks are for!

I agree with your take. The France Morrocco match will be a very tough one for both teams. However, do not forget that Morroco already beat Belgium, Spain and Portugal in this tournament. These European countries are know for their football prowess just like France. I firmly believe that they have what it takes to go head-to-head with France. The concern I have right now is that the game will go into extra time and then the winner will be decided in a penalty shoot-out. Rooting for Morrocco.

griezmann is a very active midfielder, I saw in several France matches he became the man of the match. Besides that, Francis also has 3 extraordinary strikers, so the chances for Morocco to win are very small. The experience of the players on the front lines and also in the middle of France to destroy a team's strong defense is not in doubt. Regragui is a very good coach, he is able to read all the strategies his opponent is running, Morocco is lucky to have him, what strategy will Regragui make against France!!

I already suggested adding Morocco goalkeeper Bounou to the poll since he is the national hero of the Moroccan team. His move to give the reward to the last match to En-Nesyri was a nice one.
BTW can we add Belgium in red to the map, like that once France is conquered it will be a reddish map from moron to Belgium Tongue

Obviously the game vs France will not be easy and hopefully Morocco will win it.

And of course, everyone who does know Bounou will know his team is one of the biggest bedshitters in La Liga (and that's after luring everyone into thinking they were title contenders last season). And so far this season his team is in the relegation zone, so man, he cannot possibly be considered for the prize outside international football.
Strange he wasn't in the poll, he won golden gloves in Spain 2 seasons ago...
I don't disagree he's a great performer in this tournament, but let us remember they have only played 5 games in this world cup. A league's 38 seasonal games, plus Europe and cup ties is a better estimate of prowess (though it should be added he has 1 goal and 2 assists in the last couple of seasons).

When I remember poor Navas getting 7 goals against Spain, I said how unfortunate he was when he has a bad teammates like those.

Costa Rica was not a strong team. And because of their lack of match strategy, they conceded 7 goals to teams like Spain. Spain is a strong team, but they don't have a strong attack to score 7 goals. They managed it only because of Costa Rica's poor match tactics. Costa Rica's performance against Spain was very poor. They can't play well. We saw Spain's dominance throughout the match. The Spanish players controlled the match. But Spain could not dominate in any subsequent match. Spain's first and last win in this World Cup was against Costa Rica.

This is why football most time is not that predictable and we should learn from this. Discrimination is what could kill a man and we are already seeing it. I hope to see Morocco in the final match is which going to be a dream come through. The match is going to be very tactical and more of luck this time not by the mere efforts that is put into the match.

When they say that football is unpredictable I will think that they are talking about club football, it is this world cup that made me to really understand what the statement of football being unpredictable means.
Almost every matches in this world cup came with surprises from the group stages even up till now, even tomorrow there is going to be another surprise. This is indeed what cup of surprises.

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,it was verified in full this statement during this world cup.I think Morocco is the greatest surprise of this world cup and they are the first African team in the semi finals of a world cup.They are facing France which is the heavy favorite but Morocco also has the best defense so it will be an enjoyable game to watch,I think that Morocco will try to defend and bring the game to penalties while France will attack heavily.
