Argentina is a more likely team for the final match than Croatia.  However, nothing can be guaranteed in the game.  So we cannot ignore Croatia.  Because Croatia defeated a strong team like Brazil in the quarter-finals and got a chance in the semi-finals . Croatia's style of play is good enough and Morocco on the other hand are very likely for the final

As you may know, Tite resigned as Brazil's coach after the World Cup disaster and they are already talking about his successor.

According to Marca.com, the successor will be from this list.

Abel Fereira (Palmeiras), Fernando Diniz (Fluminense), Mano Menezes (Internacional) and Dorival Junior (free agent)

i also see it that way. In fact, the playing styles of Croatia and Morocco in defeating their opponents are slightly similar. so the possibility of croatia and morocco meeting in the final could also happen. and if this happens then this will be the best achievement for morocco and also croatia. But France and Argentina certainly won't allow it. these two strong teams will also try their best to reach the final. for argentina perhaps this becomes even more important. because they want to give their legend (messi) a victory at the top of the world cup.

It's possible this is a slight error from the OP and hopefully this will be fixed in the future.
But speaking of finals, I personally now expect Maroco to be in the finals but seeing France, which incidentally is the defending champion, is also a little difficult.

On the other hand it looks like Croatia wants to make this a final again for them with a fairly disciplined closed style of play now.

it is very unfortunate that in the end Cristiano Ronaldo's dream of being able to play in the final and win the world cup has ended. And somehow I also see that It's time for Cristiano Ronaldo to retire. I would prefer to see Cristiano Ronaldo become a coach. As a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, I feel a little disappointed at the Portuguese coach for not playing Cristiano Ronaldo since the early rounds against Morocco. although the result may be the same. but I want to honor the legend's last moments in the world cup. and in contrast to Cristiano ronaldo it seems that modric and messi are getting better treatment on their team.

It will be a good record for Messi and will be a great of memory, when he will retired from the world of football he can lead Argentina to get the third trophy of world cup. According the history Argentina already get two trophy, it could be 2022 this world cup for Argentina. But the matches is still tough for them because Croatia will be aiming for victory too, so messi will not be easy to score at this match semis.

I think it's strange. Because it shouldn't normally be like this. Surprise is always strange to me. Who knew Morocco would get this far?
I don't think even they themselves could have known. It's pure luck and surprise. That's what's strange. If there are teams like Spain, Portugal and Brazil, but Morocco has come this far, I find it strange. Because it is not very normal. When we look at the squads and their values, the difference is already obvious. There is no need to say much.

Surely a world cup title was all that was missing for Ronaldo to win before the world cup began, he has won everything that there is to win in football, and now Portugal have been eliminated in the quarter final, bringing Ronaldo's quest for the world cup title to an end, his situation is most sad because this is his last world cup tournament, he would probably have retired by the time the next world cup is played. I believe Ronaldo would have possibly played in the next Euro tournament that is coming up in two years time, but i don't think he will, the manager has already started benching him, and if he doesn't retire now in the hope of playing in Euro 2024 he might not even be called up to the national team, so the best thing for Ronaldo is to retire now with his great legacy.

Well, I wouldn't say that England played to the best of their ability. Yes England tried, it was evident, but still the French team scored from the game, and England penalties. Of course you can blame Kane for not scoring the second penalty, but if he did, everything could have gone differently, and it's generally true, but still to win such a team the French need to score from the game.
It's also strange that Grealish didn't come out in the second half, he's quite a creative player, maybe he could bring some constructiveness to the game of England, and so France played comfortably enough, leaving the forces for the game with Morocco.

Although Morocco may have another surprise for France.
But so far the French team seems to be the clear favorite in this pairing and the final of Argentina-France looks more and more realistic.

I understand that you are one of the England fans... I don't see how England could have played better than France when France scored two goals in two halves from the game... When for England the referee gave two chances for them to score two penalties but England only managed 50%... That is, they didn't score a single goal from the game, and missed an opportunity to score one penalty... It seems to me that whatever players they have playing, it's a shame...

OP, why is there a choice in voting for France vs Morocco in the final? because these two teams are unlikely to face each other in the final. because morocco and france will face each other in the semifinals. and one of them will fall and the other one will advance to the final. maybe the OP meant France vs croatia. or the OP is joking. and it's funny because apparently someone voted for it. 

This game was very exciting, I really believed for a moment that the Arabs were going to be able to tie and even win, something like that happened with ARGENITNA, something that I should highlight is that the Polish goalkeeper was really the star here, on the other hand Lewa's goal was very dramatic, he wanted to score and you can see that it brought many tears to his eyes, these are one of the things that football sometimes shows us and that they like, sometimes the effort is well rewarded, in this group Poland He is the leader, but everything can be decided when it is Argentina's turn to play Poland, it would be crazy for Argentina not to make it to the second phase of the World Cup.


The truth is, as a South American, it saddens me that Brazil is leaving the World Cup, but we must admit that Croatia had a very balanced game and they didn't let themselves be beaten when everything was ready, I really admire Modric a lot, and I congratulate all the Croats anyway Due to such a good display of football, now they have to measure themselves against a team that fights every inch of the field like Argentina and Argentina already comes with a lot of experience of what happened with the Netherlands and I don't think they want to go to penalties with a great goalkeeper As both nations have it, for me they are on another level, the two goalkeepers are really very good.


Well, CR7 is unfortunate, but I don't understand the thinking of some Europeans, for them it was easier to leave CR7 on the bench with the only hope that they would win without him, I mean, it's something I will never understand, for My Portugal lost because of their coach, you just have to see the example of Croatia with a Modric who is 36-37 years old and they didn't take him out of the game at all, a Messi who is around those ages too and they didn't take him out, always his coaches They trusted their stars, and now this guy who wanted to act like a failed Ten Hag? I sometimes do not understand European coaches with a lack of vision, wanting to show that they know a lot about football and there it is, what Messi said to Van Gaal seems fine to me, sometimes you have to tell the truth in the face of people to see If they learn, and for me the culprit for everything here was the technical director of Portugal.

In history, these people who wanted to stop a star and a legend will be remembered as the most villains, or as those who wanted to silence the shine of others so that they could do it.

Great confidence has been created in the Argentina team. Because they lost the first match, after that they came back brilliantly. Now they have confirmed the semi-final. All the players of the team are playing with their maximum. All football fans are very hopeful that Lionel Messi's team will secure the World Cup title this time.

Argentina will indeed be favored and favored by many people in the next match against Croatia in the semi-finals. But I would prefer to bet on Croatia. because I seem to see that there will be a repeat of history like in 2018. That is where Croatia faced France in the final. but then morocco appeared unexpectedly morocco can now qualify for the semi-finals by beating portugal. And I'm interested if Morocco will surprise us again next time against France?

The bookmakers believe that Argentina is the big favorite in the semi-final match against Croatia. No idea what that is based on. They have not achieved a single convincing victory yet, and it was almost 2-2 in the closing minutes against Australia in the round of 16. The whole team seems built for Messi, if he didn't participate then it would be the end of the story. Messi also behaved very unprofessionally after the quarter-final match. He was very annoyed and also called a player of the Dutch national team a sucker. As the best player in the world, you have to keep your emotions under control.

If Harry Kane hadn't missed the penalty then England might have secured victory. Because it's really difficult to score against France in the game because their defense has been doing great. So the second penalty gave England a great chance but Harry Kane missed the penalty and England lost.

If Croatia only has two experienced players regarding Modric and Perisic, then what about Argentina, I think all Argentine players have very good experience in every line at the highest level in the big European leagues too. Thus, I think Argentina will still be in front or still have a greater chance of winning.
Even though, I also realize that Croatia is certainly not easy to beat because if Brazil can be beaten then of course Croatia will also have the chance to win against Argentina.

But I think it's also just a theory because if we bet then we should be able to choose one of them and for me, it looks like I will still choose Argentina to qualify. Even if Croatia and Morocco reach the final then of course, it's the surprise final that happened at the Qatar World Cup.
But it seems that the chance for them is very low, even though I also chose and bet on Morocco when Morocco played against Spain and Portugal, but against France it seems I can't choose Morocco for several reasons.

Of course, but they have to win against France, it's tough. Above the statistical record Morocco will not win. But as you said, Morocco has become an unexpected force. There aren't many star players, but their spirits are currently in a green image, fighting spirit ready to fight. The victory in the previous party made them unstoppable until now. I don't dare to bet against France, in terms of quality I actually prefer France but Morocco has a spirit that is beyond expectations.

If we are objective Portugal never really had a team to win the word cup, there was a time in which Ronaldo was without at the very top and was one of the best players around the world, but soccer is a team game and even he could not win the world cup alone, and what better example of this than Messi which had a better team in Argentina and he is also looking to win his first world cup as most likely this is the last chance he will ever have to do it.

If Ronaldo played from the first half of the game to the end at least he would have done some something tangible, but I can't also say that because football is a game of luck and even though, it is a game of luck, good team always win weak team, just that Morocco team is a strong team in the tournament. Morocco has no international players in their team but their performance in the world cup is wonderful.
