Will moroco be able to walk away with the cup this year even though there are other stronger coy tries in the world cup, for me I see France taking the cup this year because I can't see a future of An African country taking the cup?
Im not sure about that. The bookmakers gave good odds for portugal. I think that if that portugal will be so easy to win against morocco. Portugal was not spain and there was also a chance for ronaldo to be a starting line up. that will boost the performance from the team. It seems like that bookmakers didn't believe with morocco to be able to win against portugal. I have picked portugal in this match over morocco. Let's see what's gonna happen with the match but im sure that 99% portugal will be winning in the upcoming match for sure.

Portugal is clearly stronger than Morocco. So, we can assume that Portugal will win against Morocco, especially after an impressive performance of Portugal in the last match. Morocco could beat Spain, but don't forget that they beat Spain in the penalty shootout. Also, Spain isn't at their best squad, many of the players are young players with a lack experience of the international matches. While Portugal is in their best squad and their players are experienced players. That makes me also think the same as you, Portugal should be the winner in the upcoming match (Portugal vs Morocco).
I have heard that van Gaal was asked about how they were thinking of stopping Messi. He said to them that they would just find out how in the game. This is a really brave statement by him but not realistic to me honestly. 
Because I don't think Netherlands' defense have an easy job to do. I know that there are really good defenders like van Dijk and Ake. But we are still talking about Messi.
I think he would still find a way to show a really effective performance. Netherlands like to play with a system in which there are three defenders. If they do the same against Argentina as well then Argentina might find more openings in their defense.

I also with you and I think at the end the chances of winning is much better for Brazil against Croatia but I will also not underestimate Croatia because the had a strong mid field defence base But even with that I think they have to be under pressure in front of top class attacker's like Richarlison, Neymar, Vinicius, Rapinha. Moreover, as many times as Brazil and Croatia have played matches so far, Croatia has not won even one. Now let's see if Brazil can hold this consistency.
Brazil can certainly maintain its consistency in the Qatar world cup this time. Because in addition to Brazil having a squad with very complete star players, Brazil will also face opponents who are not much better than themselves. We can see how Croatia looked so pressured against Japan in the round of 16 and now Croatia will face Brazil, whose strength is also quite clear in this world cup.

I think Croatia Team won't give a tough time to Brazil Team. Brazil Team have more chances to win. Maybe Croatia can get a chance to take advantage of quick counter-attacks. Because the Brazilian National Team is studded with stars. Also Neymar have recovered. Brazil is the strongest national team at tournement at now.
It is easy to predict that Brazil will win the match against Croatia by looking at many bets. Moreover, Brazil is a self-contained team in the quarter-finals.@Brazil 1.38
@croatia 8.8
@drawn 5.0
In addition Brazil already received neimar ,Neymar is one of the main force in Brazil's players. When Neymar is in the team, a different kind of vitality works in them.
In addition to Neymar, Vinicius Jr., Raphinha, Richarlison are in the team.
At a glance Brazilian lineups..
Attacking midfielder casemiro and Lucas paqusta also very famous in the world cup 2022.
Moreover, Brazil's defense is much stronger and the balance of the field is much better than Croatia. So Brazil's semi-final is highly likely to improve.
The chances of Croatia wining Brazil is very very slim. Very slim because Brazilian squad is so rich and also experienced and are also younger than Croatia squad and as such they will have more energy to run the whole time. Injury is trying to destabilise the Brazilian team but the squad is so rich that injury cannot affect it.
In theory, it may be true that Croatia seems to have a small chance to win against Brazil. But it is a football match, sometimes there is a surprise or unpredictable result. Even Brazil has more energic players (young players) and all of them are top players who are on fire currently. It doesn't mean they automatically win the match. If Brazil coach chooses the wrong tactic or the players can't play effectively and not confidently, they can lose the match. Don't forget that Croatia is the finalist in the world cup tournament in 2018 (France vs Croatia).I confess that practically "nobody" would imagine that Japan could beat Germany, or Morocco beat Spain.
This is one of the surprises that sport, especially football, can give us.
Don't forget that Croatia is the finalist in the world cup tournament in 2018 (France vs Croatia).
Yes they made it to the final in 2018 which was something that nobody was expecting them to achieve, they are playing very good in this 2022 world cup as well, and have already made it to the quarter final, which is an achievement in itself. I like how Croatia play, there is usually no eyes on them before a world cup starts, nobody is expecting anything from them, but they go there and quietly perform greatly, i think they are the team that should be called the dark horse and not Belgium. Brazil is gonna be very tough for Croatia to beat, but i would not rule them out of it.

While football can be unpredictable and surprising, none of the aforementioned scenarios are likely to occur in this instance(Croatia, and Brazil match). I believe Brazil will defeat Croatia by a score of 3 goals to 1.
Portugal's win over Switzerland was actually not too surprising but it was the score that made this a surprise because I personally was quite sure Portugal would win in the last 16 phase but for the score which was indeed extraordinary this was clearly a surprise.
But on the other hand, judging from their game and the composition of the players currently there, it is quite natural that they are playing this well because their players are really good from an individual point of view because they are above average.
The match was seriously surprising and funny because I wasn't expecting much goals to happened in the match played against Portugal and Switzerland.the 6:1 is too much for Portugal to defeated Switzerland because Switzerland is also a strong team at other side to Portugal. So with this goals I believe Portugal will do something great in their next match against Morocco but I believe even goals happen I don't think it will be that much like Portugal match against Switzerland.
In other hand I know Morocco will like to play a defensive game against Portugal, but what will be the problem is that Portugal also have sharp attacker which will be more trouble to Morocco, if truly they play defensive match with Portugal. I can't wait to watch the match if that miracle will keep following Morocco or Morocco are also keeping good squad. I am see that day.
Brazil will have an advantage over Croatia and this you can see through the odds too.
When you get odds as like 8.80, which surely shows that Croatia will be underdogs in this match and Brazil will go as the favorite in the match. For sure, there will be the pressure of a Quarterfinal and I think the team who scores first, will get an enormous advantage in the knockout match.

If you consider the team Croatia is up against, you will be less tempted to choose Croatia to win against Brazil despite the attractive odds. The possible chance of Croatia winning over Brazil is slim and it is not possible to come by.

In no way they can win the World Cup, I even doubt that they could pass Portugal. At some point people were happy it could be possible after seeing Spain's defeat but after Portugal humiliating Switzerland, I am very afraid that Morocco doesn't have a chance to win them. Morocco will play defensively and try their luck in counter attacks. This tactics will not work again vs Portugal in my opinion. It is whether they attack since the beginning and play like they did vs Belgium or it is the end of the trip.

Thats not the same team if you ask me, what they had 4 years ago is not the same as what they have today. Also, it is possible for Croatia to go all the way of course, unlikely, but "possible". However, I believe that them going all the way is not depending just on playing well, but also Brazil playing worse than they normally do. If that happens then we would have a chance of them losing to Croatia for playing badly, but Brazil playing well enough like they normally do would beat even the best version of Croatia and that is why its not enough, it would require one to play amazingly while the other playing worse than they usually do to make it happen.
We are used to watching a game every day, it felt strange when there were no matches for two days. I couldn't find anything to watch on TV. Friendly matches are not very enjoyable.
Fortunately, the break is over and the quarter-finals are starting. First Brazil and then Argentina are the favorites of the day. The probability of surprises after this round is low, because the teams that come here are of good quality.
I think Brazil will win without much difficulty. But in the next match, the Netherlands will push Argentina well. Maybe we can see a game going into extra time. Of course, if Messi works his magic, Argentina can easily win the match. It will be a big test for the blues.
