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.

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.

Right from time football never be predictable because I have a notice that many people who is predicting the FIFA world cup this time is ending up of having drunk prediction because off the countries they believe or they think that will work well in the tournament but those countries failed and those unexpected the ones are the ones that is being perfectly well in this tournament

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.

Today Benzema wrote a message on social media wishing France the best, I don't think he will be available to play in a possible final in 7 days even if the player could play it because he is still present in the list presented before the start of the competition and never removed.

He was left out of the squad a day before the start of the World Cup tournament due to injury; however, after a while, a report showed that he is fit and ready to meet his team mates ahead of the competition's continuation, but France's coach said no.

I was also curious how it would look if France were able to make history by winning back-to-back titles, whether it would count on Benzima's achievement or not due to his absence from all competition matches.

Why people are surprised of Morocco defeatist Portugal it's because of Ronald, and base on Ronald is on bench that is what give Morocco luck to win Portugal but people don't know, because the presences of Ronal would have been a distraction to Morocco, so because of the coach of Portugal won a match without Ronal participating in early or the first time and they defeated and that's why they played without Ronald from the beginning.

Morocco benefited because the Portuguese coach did not make CR7 a starter, many people criticized the line-up choices made by Santos from the start on the Portuguese national team

Morocco is very lucky, but Morocco's next opponent is France, I doubt they will be able to withstand the onslaught of French players

If Ronaldo had played in the first half Morocco would have still won. Ronaldo is not active again, he plays like a regular play now. Morocco won because they played very well, they didn't win by luck

Yeah I honestly do not think so, If Ronaldo was played along side Rafeal Leao it would have been a different outcome at the end of 90mins. Ronaldo would have been the major target in the game and if he is smart he would be setting confusions for the Moroccan defenders who will be worried about marking Ronaldo and Rafael Leao when they attack. I didn't expect to see Ronaldo sitting on the bench in that game.

Karim Benzema was withdrawn from the 26man squad players list just days before the tournament began. He left his place to his teammates because of his injury that are not that serious but he believes that someone else can perform better than him and he wishes his national team to win the cup, i see it a reasonable choice to make and a selfless thing to do for your team

It was a shock to everyone who watched the match between Portugal and Morocco because no one have never believed that Morocco with the feet Portugal but in this semi-final which will qualify Morocco to go to final I don't think about France can give that privilege for Morocco to win them because France has noticed the method or the strategies of Morocco which I believe that the match will be tough and it can end up with penalty kick

Morocco has made an history for Africa, after the world cup Morocco will be recognised as a big team in world cup. If Morocco do not win the World Cup they won't feel bad because they have never reached this level before in world cup.

Exactly the same thing a friend of mine was telling me today, Morocco indeed have made their country and also Africa in general proud, as you said, what they've been able to achieve in this year's world have really got everyone in the entire countries of Africa talking, presidents and prominent men from all walks of life have been sending in their congratulatory messages.
Even if they end up not wining the world cup, they indeed have done well, but I still pray they beat France and proceed to the finals, I personally would want to see them try out their luck in the finals, who knows, they might just bring the cup to Africa.

Africa dreams of its champion, really, personally, of all the African teams, I never thought that Morocco was among the best on the continent, because by pure inspection one always sees Senegal, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, as the ones that stand out the most, but no, Morocco really is a team that surprises, but when reviewing its players I think I should give a lot of credit to the technical director, because he picked up the best players, those who were in Europe at their best, and he did not hesitate to summon them and I think that when things are done like this without any kind of preferences, you can go a long way, as I have said in other threads, this serves as a lesson for countries like Spain and Portugal where they believe that the technicians are the ones who know the most and They don't put their best players in, this is something I hope they have learned.

Some predictions:

France vs Morocco - World Cup semi-final: Team news, lineups & prediction

Quote

France face their former colony Morocco in a World Cup semi-final with an extra edge on Wednesday evening.

Didier Deschamps' side has defied whispers of disharmony, a glut of injuries and the curse of reigning champions to reach the final four, surviving an almighty scare from a spirited England in the quarter-finals.

Morocco - "the team that everyone loves in this World Cup" according to manager Walid Regragui - added Portugal to the list of European scalps they have claimed in Qatar with a marvellously marshalled 1-0 quarter-final triumph.

Well, everything is ready for either of the two teams, slightly many will lean towards France due to its history, due to player history, but the truth is that I would like the Moroccans to pass.

Morocco defended very well throughout the entire match. But in the second half of the match, they sometimes lost control of the game to Portugal. And Portugal could not make organized attacks in the sections where they had the opportunity. Morocco played well and deserved to win the match. The result of the match was fair in my opinion. Now they will play the semi-finals with France. This match has already been the most talked about match. And this match attracts more attention than Argentina - Croatia match in my opinion. Because Morocco managed to become the most colorful team of the tournament with the matches they won. I think they will play the France game with the same tactical understanding. They will continue to play very good defense. Their first priority will be not to concede goal again in this match. That's why I'll most likely bet on under 2.5 goals.

Portugal isn't an easy team to defend against that was why it was so difficult to hold them them and when they conceived the red card the pressure increased and Portugal became more dangerous but the resilience of the Moroccan team was surprising, how they managed to hold still was really marvelous indeed their team is so organised all round and have great tactical sense of the game. The next rounds will be even more interesting.

To you it seems ii isimpossible for Morocco to defeat France. This teams are strong teams and any of them can win, the result of this game will surprising because everyone one are expecting different result from the both teams.

Nothing like impossible for Morocco wining France, France is a country and also a team which is quite alright that Morocco has being wining other countries which it's possible that Morocco can as well win France if France fail to strategies well, France is country that has being wining other countries, but as it stands the match is something that is going to be predictable, i have being using two ways to categorize this prediction of game, neither one win or one lose.

It's imagining to think that Morocco wouldn't have defeated Portugal if Ronaldo had played the first half. Does Ronaldo play better and bigger on his own than the group of players that Spain and Belgium have for the world cup? What transpired when they faced Morocco in a game? What I'm trying to imply is that Portugal wouldn't have won whether Ronaldo had participated in the first half or not.

Football is not just about luck. It's about individual fortitude, defense, strategy, and the players' commitment to working together as a team to succeed. It will be too difficult for France's team to break Morocco's habit of playing "counter-defense and attack." For Morocco, it is a victory.

at least from the experience he has, it will be enough to raise the spirits of other Portuguese players, what a national team need is their senior players who ignite the fighting spirit of the juniors

See how Modric has succeeded in raising the enthusiasm of Croatian players who are younger than him, if only CR7 had been entrusted like that by coach Nay then I'm sure the end result would have been different. Indeed, at the moment Morocco is still much better than Portugal because they have very enthusiastic young players

Morocco once again refuted my predictions. My congratulations on the record and now Morocco has already guaranteed itself participation in at least the bronze medal game. As I understand it, this is a record for an African country.
And I must say that this is not reaching the level of Greece at the European Championship - this is not a game based entirely on the bus. Yesterday they were stronger than Portugal in almost every aspect of the game. An amazing result considering that Portugal has a very strong team this year.

Matches cannot be won just by having a lot of star players in the squad, as Morocco proved by defeating Spain, Belgium, and Portugal. In order to win the match, the understanding between the players must be good, and the most important thing is that the match strategy must be strong. At the same time, the players of the team must adapt to the match strategy. The Moroccan team has done impossible things.

I wouldn't be surprised if Morocco wins against France. Morocco proved that they deserve to play in the final. France will have to be tactical if they want to win against Morocco. Morocco cannot be defeated by attacking alone.

I don't know what to think anymore because I made too many mistakes Cheesy

In any case, the odds of 1.55 for France to win look bewitching. I can't believe that France won't win this game (they have a good team not only in terms of star players but also in terms of the game), but such generous odds are suspicious.

I am yet to see anyone who made good success betting in the world cup. It has been proven over and again that good and star players isn't enough to win a match. It seems even safer going for the so called generous odds because it has been the safer bet lately. If Morocco makes it to the final i don't know but they might win the cup.
