Both Morocco and Croatia have almost similar pattern in this world Cup, there strongest position have been the midfield and defence, although Morocco are slightly better in attack than them. But i see Morocco finding it hard to defend there goal today because an electricified Mbappe will cause the defence some problem.
Where Morocco might have an edge today is the midfield because of the absence of Rabiot, he has been instrumental this world Cup so I see space opening for Amrabat to exploit in the match

No, no and no.

 Croatia couldn't do what they did several times coming from behind, that is, they know what it's like to overcome an adverse scoreline but they couldn't.

Three goals ahead and a performance that does not highlight any clear opportunity on the part of Croatia on goal.

Argentina's second goal... an amateur football goal, they let a player stumble from midfield, Croatia!  there is no forgiveness, that they score a goal like that,  please, let's discuss how the great defense of Croatia allowed to score that goal.

They third goal, come on!  Messi signed it, a masterpiece... so ok... Argentina won with that goal, so... it was that good?

It seems to me that giving an analysis based on that idea of ​​the Penalty or the referees, really! Argentina was forceful, won and Croatia lost.

It is the schizophrenic equivalence of any Spain or Portugal fan to say that Morocco reached the semi-finals with luck.

What's more, Messi has succeeded in shifting Mbappe's position on the list of top scorers for the time being, so of course Mbappe will not hold back from scoring goals in today's match against Morocco. With that said, I personally have no doubts about France and it looks like the surprise for Morocco will end here.
Although indeed, we will never know what will happen, but I really don't think I doubt the record on paper for France's victory.

But yes, I also believe and still admit that Morocco will still be able to play well and after all, nothing can really guarantee a team will win or lose.
So even though this is a match between a seeded team against a non-seeded team, this match is also a very interesting match to watch because basically, Morocco still has a chance to be able to provide unexpected resistance in this match.

Morocco for all Arabs and Africans, it is possible. I will support Morocco to reach the final regardless of the quality of the players. France is really in top form and there is no doubt about the ability of their players. Mbappe, Dembele, Giroud are very dangerous attackers and have been very difficult to stop so far. However, I hope Morocco can still play their luck against France and I think more than 50% of users here are also expecting it in the final.

It's now 1 hour go to match and Morocco has @5.80 odds to win. France are the favorites where the odds are very low but either way I expect some miracle for Morocco at this World Cup.

If you follow Croatia more closely, you wouldn't be that surprised. I'm Croatian so I always follow our national team matches. The problem with Croatian national team is that they tend to fall apart in situations like yesterday's penalty and especially after the second goal. After that goal it was pretty much all over for Croatia. They tried attacking more in the beginning of the second half but that only opened them to Argentina's counter attacks which resulted in the third goal. Luckily there weren't more goals scored by Argentina because that would make very hard for a Croatian team to rise up for the bronze medal match.

I think that Morocco is more dangerous for France than Croatia was for Argentina. They play super defensive football. It's not easy to attack against a team that is concentrated only on defense. However, one goal in Morocco's net should be enough reason for them to open up and then I guess we will watch an interesting match.

An African country is playing its first semi-final in history and if it makes it to the final, it will be history.  Because no one has ever thought of Morocco as a favorite team.  But everyone thinks that France will go to the final with the kind of famous footballers France has.  But this assumption may be wrong.  Many unexpected results can be observed in this World Cup.  Where teams like Brazil and Germany are knocked out.  If France were knocked out, it would not be a surprise.

If the keeper had touched the ball, it would not have been a penalty, but in this case he didn't and he obstructed a goal scoring opportunity. If the keeper had touched the ball, regardless of how hard or soft the contact was, it would not have been a penalty. It's a basic rules

Argentina are not the most favored team, they have been the most in-form team and they have been a level above everyone else, the only defeat in two years came in the first game against Saudi Arabia, so I don't think they are favored when they have controlled all of the games they have placed so far. For the record, they have only had four penalties (scoring only three of them), two more than Portugal and England, both of whom have had two in four games. And for VAR, I believe it has been effective thus far; Argentina had three goals disallowed against Saudi Arabia due to the smallest offside margin.


Croatia's only 90-minute win came against Canada, when they came back from a goal down to win 4-1. Croatia was without a doubt the worst team in the semi-final, as they had no game plan yesterday and controlled the game for only 20 minutes with zero shots on goal. We've seen the Netherlands come back from a two-goal deficit to tie the game at 2-2 against the same Argentina team. BTW, why are we all acting like the PK goal was the only thing that got them to the final? They scored two more goals, Croatia was no match for Argentina, and we should not make excuses for failures. BTW, the VAR officials were Portuguese, and if they didn't think it was a PK, they could have asked the ref to rewatch it.

There has never been a world cup without controversy it's a 4 years gap competition so it's always painful when a team gets knocked out. Complaints like this are common but it won't matter after the final result.

Yeah, it's surprising that Croatia was able to defeat Brazil but couldn't beat Argentina. Anyway, if we compare the remaining teams, France seems to be the favorite, and I think they have a good chance of winning this World Cup. At the same time, France shouldn't underestimate its upcoming opponent because Moroccan players have already proven that they can beat such strong teams as Spain and Portugal.

There were no surprises in yesterday's semifinal match. As I expected, Argentina won and in a way avenged the 3-0 defeat in the previous world cup. Thus, Argentina became the first finalist in the world cup. Finding 7 hits in 9 shots, Argentina won the match with 3 goals. Today, the other semifinal match will be played. I don't expect any surprises in this match either. France will be the winner.

Interestingly, if Morocco can qualify for the final, this is a history that will always be remembered in their country and even the world. the unseeded dark horse team will be able to beat the defending champion team, isn't this a surprise for us to enjoy. I myself will choose Morocco in the match later but just for fun there are no special bets for the match later.

france which is dominated by high quality players like mbappe and giroud will be the stage for them in the match later, no doubt many believe that france will win easily in today's match.

Of course, if France can escape with a victory then the meeting with Argentina will be a historic meeting. The France vs Argentina scenario is definitely highly anticipated, becoming the biggest meeting venue. Or conversely, if Morocco is the one who makes it to the final, this will also be a big party for the African continent, which will certainly be history because Morocco is the only African representative at this time.
Beating Spain and Portugal is a fact that needs to be watched out for, even though Morocco's defensive style is quite tight, maybe there will be a rotation of attacks that will be focus this time.



For this match, it is clear that Morocco path will be very difficult, after all, France has positive points, namely in terms of an attack on a fast scale, and Morocco's position is always defensive. Most of the games I saw when Morocco played were to defend and then if there is a chance to take advantage of counter-attacks then that's all they have. Here, of course, France must be prepared by layering a solid backline.

I think today could be a repeat of yesterday's game. France will probably win and Morocco won't be able to score. Although a win for France is even more obvious than yesterday's win for Argentina. Morocco have played well against Portugal and Spain, but France are much stronger than those teams. I have no doubt that Argentina and France will play in the final.

Messi really wants to win this trophy, he will do anything to win it. At last night's match, everyone respected him once again. Despite his advanced age, he continues to run as if he were in his 20s, the 3rd goal was scored entirely thanks to him. I'm sure he will show a similar performance in the final match. Argentina is really lucky.
I'm looking forward to the results of tonight's match

Of course, Argentine history is fortunate to have Lionel Messi after Maradona, who is currently the best of the best in the world.  And alone carrying a team on his shoulders with his teammates moving forward.  Before the last match against Croatia, both teams had two wins and one draw in total of 5 matches.  And with a win in yesterday's match, Argentina moved forward.  As Romero was in 2014, Emiliano Martinez is an impregnable wall right now.

You're right, I avoid 1x2 bets and handicaps because I haven't found the right direction to predict it's better not to bet with hesitation
I'm afraid this match will end in a draw and will have to be settled through a penalty shoot-out, in the penalty shootout I will favor Morocco.

Argentina sealed their place in the final with a thrilling 3 nil victory against Croatia last night. It was one of the preceding winning for Leo Messi and his teammates, the game was easy for the Argentines and the their opposition didn't record a goal and Martinez kept a clean sheet in the semi final. Leo Messi have equal Diego maradona's record for tally of eight assists in the world cups. He's brave and there are rare players like him, he's always there to deliver his team and Argentina are very lucky to have a player like Leo Messi.

Yeah, I am not downplaying the possibility of France and Argentina playing the finals, but as I pointed out in my comment above, personally, I am not ignorant of the chance Morocco still have, tonight's match is the decider, right now, I am just neutral on who could win the match and qualify for the finals, I am not betting on France neither am I betting on Morocco, if France wins, it is expected and absolutely no surprise about it since they are better, but on the other hand, if Morocco end up beating France, then the world will marvel at the shock.
Fingers crossed.

The stage is set for the Almighty game between France and Morocco, and this match will settle a lot of assumptions and give direction to we're the cup is going since the finals are just a few days ahead. It's hard to predict the team that will win tonight's match even as bookmakers gave Morocco high odds and that doesn't limit the possibility of them winning tonight's match.

In this case I have no elements to underestimate Morocco btw because indeed with their current achievements of course they are extraordinary and can even beat Portugal and Spain but we can also say a comparison about the squad isn't it even though in this case the squad won't be too made an impact in the 90 minutes but we also have to be aware that France's statistics are definitely better.
Their chances are still very big and indeed, if you look at the final, my ideal version is indeed Argentina and France.

We really understand Croatia's situation, especially about the quality of the players. Modric and Perisic and other players have helped Croatia reach the semifinals, but their failure to reach the final isn't too bad if we compare the quality of the two teams between Croatia and Argentina.

I don't think about the referee's mistake in leading the match which then benefited Argentina got penalty for their first goal. I don't want to criticize him even though his decisions can impact a lot of things. Croatia didn't really excel on the basis of quality even though they had high possession throughout the match. Argentina have sealed their fate in the semi-finals and they have given their best so far in the World Cup. Now Argentina in the final, and we will wait for the opponent.
