The Morocco team was taken lightly by the Portugal coach. And he paid the price for this mistake in Portugal's defeat. Against Switzerland, without Ronaldo, Portugal's attack played very well and scored 6 goals. The Portugal coach thought the same strategy would work against Morocco. So he did not give place to Ronaldo in the starting XI. And so Portugal's gameplay was quite slow in the first half.
I don't say the Portugal coach, Mr. Santos was wrong by choosing Goncalo Ramos in last two matches of Portugal because of two biggest reasons.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo lost his good performance in past few months, not only in World Cup 2022
  • Goncalo Ramos is a promising young player and this World Cup can be a start for his journey with Portugal in later big tournaments.

Even I support this choice of Santos, I did know a young player like Ramos can not play well in all big matches. He need to have more experience to improve his skills and ability to face with pressure. In match with Morocco, Ramos had one chance to make a good finish with his head but failed to complete it well. If Ronaldo is a player in that position, with his jump power, he would be able to complete it better. The match with Morocco shows that Ramos must learn a lot of more things for his career.

Quote
And on this occasion, the Moroccan players made some good attacks and managed to score a goal as well.
To be frankly, in that goal, it is not a too much dangerous attack but Diogo Costa made a mistake and awarded Morocco that goal. A biggest mistake belongs to Costa, no doubt about it.

The World Cup in Qatar was last chance for Ronaldo. The Portuguese star could not do his best in the Qatar World Cup. Portugal had to leave in the last eight on Morocco's last night. They lost 1-0 in the quarter finals. This famous Portuguese star is now 37 years old. probably he may not get the chance to play in the next World Cup. Because he will be 41 years old in 2026 World Cup. In this World Cup, it has been seen that Ronaldo has fallen a lot under the weight of age. Considering that, Qatar can be considered the last World Cup of Ronaldo's career. At the end, against Switzerland in the sixteenth match and against Morocco in the last eight match, Portuguese coach Fernando Santos did not keep him in the starting eleven. The world may never see this legendary player again in the World Cup.
As the world's best legend, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the stars of the football world.  Because this World Cup of his life may be the last World Cup because he will not be able to participate in the World Cup due to age.  Although it was Ronaldo's last chance, he could not survive the clash with Morocco.  I think their coach Santos did the opposite if Ronaldo had been involved in the game from the start Portugal would have been more likely.  Ronaldo had a chance to score a goal shortly after entering the field but he couldn't do it because of the goalkeeper.  And in 2026, Ronaldo will no longer be this young, his pace will slow down, and he will not appear in any future World Cup for Portugal.

the advantage of the moroccans is that almost the whole stadium is supporting the africans and they are pushed even more.

Morocco has the support of both the African fans and Arabic fans. They're been supported by almost everyone in the stadium and they're making good use of that privilege. Morocco hasn't played the best football at the tournament but they have always found a way to win games. The biggest challenge will be on the 14th against the current champions. That match is going to be a most watched as France will be looking for a ticket to go defend their title while Morocco would be hoping on continuing their fairytale at the world cup.

What's going to be interesting about this match is the fact most France players in the squad has African origin so this is going to feel like an Africans semifinals. The physicality and skills will both be present on that day but we'll be routing for Morocco all the way from African

morocco's style of play and tactics remind me a lot of those used by greece in 2004, when they surprisingly won the european championship as outsiders.

If I would support a country to win the world cup, I have no support for Morocco before or any other country, but Morocco has been the first African country to get to semi final, that is unbelievable and no draw while they are playing, they are surprisingly winning the marches before 90 minutes play, but I doubt if Morocco would be able to win France.

Saudi Arabia beat Argentina
That is true but not worth saying as world cup progress to semi final and Argentina still qualifies, facing Croatia.

Well, another bet that unfortunately I lost.
I bet that Portugal would easily win against Morocco, but unfortunately that didn't happen.
France and England had an interesting and competitive game, but the French team got the upper hand and managed to advance to the semi-finals.
My question is, will Morocco play inspired and motivated against France and manage to advance to the finals? Will Croatia beat Argentina?
will this actually happen? this is my question!
Nothing is sure this world cup, so many unexpected result happened and that include the loss of Portugal to Morocco, I also lose a bet because of this.
Morocco is on the hot spot here, if they manage to sustain that momentum then I can see them going into the finals for the very first time.
France is the defending champion though, they won't let that to happen easily especially now that they are very near for going back into the finals.
I confess, this world cup was something surreal!

Japan beat Germany and also Spain. Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, Tunisia beat France, Croatia managed to tie the game in the final minutes, won on penalties and eliminated Brazil.
Argentina opened a considerable advantage in the game against the Netherlands, but even so they managed to reverse that score and went to penalties.
Morocco beat Spain on penalties and also eliminated Portugal.

One thing I noticed is that, day after day, many countries around the world are training hard to become a competitive team in the world cups. An example I could cite was Japan, managed to have an excellent performance compared to previous cups

The time has changed when only Brazil and some European countries "dominated" the world cup.

The game against Morocco was a game full of frustration, how could it not be? they played with a very solid bus parking system and waited for the game until the penalty round, they were only lucky to score 1 goal against Portugal.

I'm disappointed, not with the Portugal players, but their manager. I'm disappointed he didn't play Rui Patricio, he preferred to play Diogo Costa even after the mistake he made in the group stage game against Ghana.
That is Morocco's tactic. They played so also against Spain and were lucky to win 3-0 on penalties, which have happened against Portugal. In the first 3 games they also played 0-0 against Croatia, but only against Belgium ist was different, they won 2-0. It's strange if Morocco play in the final, I can't imagine it.  

Sometimes to win each team can do anything as long as it doesn't break the rules teams relying on penalty shootouts usually know what they are capable of
Like Morocco they have the best goalkeeper who played in La Liga and was once the best goalkeeper there another advantage is that he must already know the character of the Span players so I'm assuming it wasn't just luck there are great strategies and abilities there. Yesterday in the last match Morocco lost in statistics but the total shot is not much different 9 vs 12  and 3 vs 3 on target.

Morocco plays well in defense, and Bono is a very good goalkeeper, they were lucky to some extent, playing defensively with counterattacks is also a strategy and it works well for Morocco. Well, on the other hand, it’s not worth talking about the luck of the team reached the semifinals. It doesn’t matter who was in attack Portuguese national team, Morocco defended almost the whole team, in this case, as we saw, it is very difficult for them to score a goal, for the entire World Cup Canada was able to do this only once.
Morocco played neatly and patiently. that's what becomes a trap for the opponent, and they wait for the moment to make an attack that can take the opponent by surprise.
they play well and consistently. they get the win and tickets to the semi-finals. they are so amazing. then just waiting for their efforts to be better. whether can get 1 place in the final or not. but Morocco's current achievements are truly extraordinary. history will record them.
correctly. and if we talk about luck then I think Morocco won not just because of luck. but Morocco's ability is good in the world cup this time. and well, Morocco is very consistent and can maintain the rhythm of the game well. and yeah this will go down in history for Morocco. because Morocco's best achievements used to only enter the round of 16. if I remember correctly, I read it, that is, I read in the news that the last time Morocco entered the round of 16 was around 36 years ago. and this year Morocco won a ticket to the semi-finals without defeat. obviously this is going to be good history for Morocco.

is there no option to vote for the final match, namely Morocco Vs Croatia?

because of the many surprises in the World Cup this time. so I think it's not impossible if in the final we will see Croatia vs Morocco.

before the start of the world cup I really wanted Portugal to be able to play in the final against Argentina. but when portugal has lost. then I would have preferred the unpredictable team that was in the Finals. if talking realistically based on data then France vs Argentina is the most likely to happen. The world cup this time was much beyond predictions.
Yes, it will be very interesting when we see Morocco and Croatia in the final, and I agree that it could happen with all the surprises at the Qatar World Cup. One by one the favorite countries were eliminated and that was by countries that on paper were no more superior than them. If you look at the current Croatia and Morocco are countries that are no more superior than Francis and Argentina. But let's see what surprises will happen again in Qatar.

You don't have to be upset with the Portugal coach because Morocco has already planned their game from their country before they step into Qatar, what they are practicalizing every match is what they have trained for and their coach is a very good and well disciplined coach who reads match and follow every match with physical fitness. How can you say you were angry with Portugal coach because he played Ramos above Patricio and at this point you're not even mentioning Ronaldo that was benched.
The truth is that even if Portugal coach played all the 23 men of Portugal, they would still lose.

and the fact is that Morocco deserved the victory. And the fact is Morocco haven't even lost the World Cup this time around. Morocco has never underestimated any opponent it will face. so they always play to the maximum. But to be honest I would prefer Portugal to play Cristiano Ronaldo from the first round. because we can see that the Moroccan players' attention has become more focused on blocking the ball path that will lead to Cristiano Ronaldo when Cristiano Ronaldo is brought in. and it makes other Portuguese players more flexible. It was difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo to get opportunities because the Moroccan players continued to block him. so that Portuguese players find it difficult to overan the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo. but it becomes a good opportunity for other portugal players. and if it is done from the first half. of course in the first round Morocco will not be too aggressive in attack. their attention will be slightly divided. but I think Portugal has also played well in the second half. it's just that Morocco's defense, which is indeed solid and difficult to penetrate, is what keeps Morocco ahead and wins.

Morocco is the country that has surprised me most in this Tournament,and they happen to be the only African country to get to this level,which is the semi-final.I don't know why I believe in them this much,maybe it's because they are very strong defensively,so I don't think Argentina can win them just like that,it's going to end in a draw,and then on penalties,they will eliminate Argentina from the tournament.
I agree with this prediction in the final,Croatia vs Morocco,and it will be shocking to every other country that two countries without much big names have gone to the final.

This is the African representation for which we have all hoped, fought, and achieved. I was pleased for them that even Qatar, which did not qualify, became a fan of Morocco yesterday, despite rumors that they did so because they are Arabians. If we let go of religion, colour differences, and united for the love of football, there would be some changes in the world in the coming years.

Since Morocco began their group stage, they haven't lost to any teams, but I don't think they can advance past the Semifinals. Yesterday, they spent 35 minutes defending their goalkeeper in order not to concede a goal, it worked for them, they did it for Spain, and for Portugal, but I doubt it will work for France, as they are good at letting go of this kind of match.

When En-Nesyri scored his awesome goal, even CR7 didn't believe the way he did it. A nice jump and a permit to pass to the semi-finals! Then it cames the missed opportunity for Morocco at the end of the game, I laughed when Zayech run to catch him because he missed the goal. The red card was very bad for Morocco too since they were defending and lost their counter attack capabilities. The substitutions made were risky. I could not imagine what could happened if Portugal scored a goal.
When looking at Youssef En-Nesyri's jump it reminds us of Cristiano Ronaldo's jump when he was young, it is a higher jump than that of a goalkeeper. We can't deny that this match was so tough and what was frightening for Morocco was their counterattack, the Portuguese defender was often overwhelmed by it, but unfortunately several opportunities for the Marcos players failed in front of the penalty box. If earlier Portugal had scored a goal, then a draw would have led to extra time or even a penalty. Of course, the Morocco players didn't want that and hoped that the game would end in just 90 minutes.
Fans are already calling him Air-Nesyri for his superb goal yesterday against Portugal. Morocco were very solid defensively and so far the best team defensively in the competition, I could smell trouble when Morocco got the first goal against Portugal, I knew it would be difficult for Portugal to come back into the game, and it happened as I predicted. Morocco are certainly making Africa proud.

Yes, statistically Morocco lost far from Portugal, but they were able to take advantage of the opportunities that existed.
I don't think so, Morocco have some good stats compared to Portugal and that is when they make counter attack. It's just that Morocco failed to take every opportunity there was to score a goal, but that's normal because the game's tension was very high and the focus was tight on defense.

The Moroccan coach is certainly very aware that technically they are outclassed by European teams. But with a collective style of play and great support from their supporters, the Atlas Lions' mentality doubled. Their goalkeeper deserves more appreciation for being able to withstand the onslaught that makes his opponent quite frustrated.
Morocco were very brave in the first half before they scored. Their performances were good and they didn't do much wrong. Their strategy is to score goals and defend and counterattack to threaten the opponent's defense or add more goals. Luckily Morocco managed to score first and they started to switch to defense because Portugal pressed very hard. The Moroccan defense is really good and difficult to penetrate, but Portugal with the quality of their players also came close to scoring quite often but unfortunately Yassine Bounou really saved them all very well.
