In the match France vs England, I agree that England was just unlucky.
They actually dominated the match, they were leading in the total shot attempts and they won the ball possessions. Unfortunately, they only can get a score from a penalty shot. The worse situation, Kane failed to score in the second penalty kick.

It's not just "lucky factor".
Every time England start a competition as if they are the super favorites, [an example was in the last europeans of 2020 in which they lost (at home) against italy] but they haven't won an international competition since 1966!
Among other things penalties are always a negative point in their performance... also in 2020 they lost for the same reason.

France is a much more "compact and well-known" team.
no surprise they arrived at this stage even during this competition.

Ohh no matter what , can we please have Argentina vs France in final ? Grin

Cause in this way, we are locked in for sure in a spectacular game from start to finish with most likely France winning it again which will be crazy! Last country who manage to defend the title was Brazil and it was quite a long time ago and France has the greatest chance right now to achieve what Italy and Brazil did.

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

Of course, no one should ignore the 4 countries currently in the semi-finals. Morocco, Argentina, Croatia and France are the best teams so they are in this round. The biggest scenario is France vs Argentina in the final round, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that there will be a Morocco vs Croatia match. What I want to see more now is that Morocco can beat France and Croatia can get rid of Argentina in this round. If that happens then it will be a very interesting show. Grin

anything can happen . We'll just have to see. And as a supporter you have to cheer when the team wins and regret when they lose. It is not possible for us to do more than that because the players will play on the field in their own way and not according to our words. And every team wants to win the match so everyone tries their best to play well. stay truth

At this point, the final should be France-Argentina but this World cup is a strange one, in the winter in the middle of the season with 40°C around in the desert.

Any info in Benzema that will be called for the last 2 games? Or even only for the final?

He is still on the list so technically he can play.

The ideal final should be indeed france vs argentina but people might want to see morocco beat france and meet argentina in the final and let's dont forget croatia who never in the spotlight but always killing their opponent silently , if there is a super extraordinary final maybe croatia vs morocco in the final would be a crazy moment.

Benzema just back earlier today into real madrid training session and confirmed he won't join the france squad.

England did well but I don't know why they have always been so unlucky when it comes to international competitions like this. Only if Kane was able to convert that second penalty maybe they would have been able to change the outcome of the game in penalties or get a third goal before the last minute. The good thing is they have a very young and talented team who still have a chance to prove their worth in the next world cup.

The worse situation, Kane failed to score in the second penalty kick. I think it was very unlucky, sure they may have a chance to get a different result if Kane succeeds to score in the second penalty kick.

You are right that England has many young players who have great skills and talents. They still have many chances to win the world cup titles in the future. England team has a good future with their current squad.

Seriously I will like to see Morroco and Croatia in final, I just hope Morroco will be able to defeat France and Croatia will be able to defeat Argentina, so that Morroco and Croatia will fight for the 1st position in world cup and France VS Argentina will fight for the third position.

Myself too have the same wish of Morocco and Croatia making to the final. This time both Argentina and France will take it seriously and do the best from the very beginning. Each missing opportunity will down the play progress. I even placed bet on Croatia and Morocco and my prayers are for them to win the match. From the beginning we have come across surprises. Let the semifinals too bring big surprise.

England vs France yesterday was a very interesting match. The results proved that sometimes stats are not a reflection of what a team looks like, judging by the stats England were the favorite to win the match. But France found it more easier to win, England didn’t stand a chance against the French defense. I expected more from England because I watch the English premier league regularly and had high hopes for the English team. Is England overrated?

England is has a great team when it comes to football, I don't think they are overrated, it is just that France is better, I don't know where you found the stats that made you believe that England would or should win against France, but from the odds in online sportsbooks, it showed that gamblers were betting massively on France, so I am personally not surprised that France won, from the initial beginning of the match, I expected them to win, it would have been a surprise to me if they didn't.
So for me, I don't think England is overrated, they are indeed good, but from all indications, France is better in football than England.

Considering the balance between France and England, France is a stronger team. I think the balance is in favor of France. England is never a weak team. They are still unlucky in terms of penalties. Had Kane scored the second penalty, they could have gone to overtime and maybe even won. It was what a lot of people expected, and France won. For me, the dream for Morocco will be this far. It's really hard to beat France.

I'm sure the quarter-finals team still has the same chance but for Morocco they have to face the seeded team again in the semifinals, that's the tough road they have to go through to reach the final.

I can't really say the semi final will be a easy one for Morroco, but I think it won't really be a easy one for France also, Morroco have being surprising everyone, nobody believe that they will go this far, Morroco didn't lose any match in their group stage, Morroco defeat Spain in knock out stage, Morroco defeated Portugal in quarter final, don't underestimate Morroco in semi final, I know it will be a very tough match because France will put all their efforts to win Morroco, since they see the way Morroco have being playing they won't want to take any chances.

If you read through Christana Ronaldo social media post today you will see how heart breaking it was for the legend to retire from active football without winning world cup for his country, but this is football anything can happen so Ronaldo has to man up and be grateful for all he has achieved in his football career.

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.

Would it be a tragedy for him not to be called up to the national team? Believe me, you can think of many reasons and excuses why he was not called up, ranging from injury to a player's personal reluctance to play for the national team. He will continue to play anyway, he has a month to find a team and I am sure he will be fine.

English national team been eliminated in the World Cup does not mean that the play shity football. Those guys are all professional players, and they had a good ride up through the quarterfinals.

England did well in this competition, they played and looked like they were going to win the game against france, but France managed the game properly to the end. We cannot say any team were more dominant in the game, both teams had their moments from what I saw. There are many young players in the England National football team, they have a good future ahead with the performance they were able to show in this world cup. They will have a better chance in the next competition with the little experience that these current young players will gain before that time.

Nobody is kicking against the performance of England in the match between them and France, because when looking at France notice that they managed their game very well, and protect their goal at last, what i expected england to equalize the match through the penalty but England was under tension, it's not that France played to the extent of making England to lose courage, the thing is that England luck run against them and if not, the match would have ended penalty and their is every possibility that they would have win France.

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.

Even it's part of the game one win and second lost, but I am also feeling sad for the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo because this was his last World Cup and there were hopes that he will go into last two for facing Messi, and we will have winner from these two legendary players in this event but now after losing against Morocco one is already back to home and second is looking to face Croatia which is surely one of the best teams in this event.

Now it's really test for Argentina that can they end the dominance of UEFA in this World Cup as they are already ruling for the last two decades and there were hopes we will have champion from South America but sadly power house Brazil is already back and now just Argentina is in with having good chance, but it's never been easy to beat quality teams in last few matches things looking entertaining for both teams.

One thing I discovered about Morocco is that they play football to score goals, they are in the game to defend. It is very hard to score Morocco because of their good defence. If Morocco tries to score a goal that is the end of the because they will try as much not to allow their opponents score.

Looking at the statistics in this tournament, Morocco have conceded only one goal, and it wasn't even from an opposition player, it was an own goal, so it can be said that they are yet to concede a goal in this tournament so far. When opposition teams find it difficult to score against a particular team, it means that team has a very good defensive plan and this is something that France have to be really careful about, France can't allow Morocco take the lead, because the moment they do that, all their players fall back and they build a wall in front of their goal, a wall that no team has been able to break so far. Morocco are going to play without some of their most important defenders, as some of them picked up injuries on their way to this semifinal and i don't think they will be fit for it, but they defend as a team, and that can help them eliminate France and make history.

It was a really dramatic ending for Ronaldo I'm afraid. He just burst into tears after Portugal were eliminated by Morocco. His final tournament with his national team really shouldn't have ended like this. They had such a potential for even the final round in fact. They were a very productive team in offense which was giving confidence to their fans also. But they were just desperate against Morocco defense. They shared the same fate with Spain as a result. I was really hoping to see an Argentina - Portugal finale. Cry

Now it is time for Messi to do his best for Argentina. This could be his last tournament with his national team just as Ronaldo. At least Messi should be able to make it to the finale at least. But considering Croatia's tough defense I'm really worried about Argentina's fate.

Very dramatic, I must say. Ronaldo was very bitter as he shed some tears at losing out of the tournament after playing so well from the start. In football, the better team usually wins and the Moroccans were the better team of the game hence why they won. It was a tough game for Ronaldo and the loss might take a toll on him. He has now lost out of winning the World Cup with Portugal and also lost out on staying with Manchester United. I’m alarmist moved to feel sorry for him.

I’m cautiously optimistic about Argentina winning the game against Croatia. I do not want to have my hopes all the way up for Argentina only to have Croatia smash them. We’ll see how that goes.

Looking over each and every quarter finals match, everything looked to be a struggle and a team have won the match. It was England vs France in which France managed to win the match. In the match Brazil vs Croatia, end was unexpected, same is with the Portugal vs Morocco match. Somehow Argentina made it against Netherlands in the penalty shoot. In the upcoming semifinals we can't predict Argentina to be the winner with ease considering Croatia and Morocco the underdogs.

Morocco have made the rest of African countries proud tonight after they qualify for the semi finals of the world cup, I was not expecting the level of skillful performance that the team put up today and I am very sure that if the marocains meet with the top country's in the world cup lime France in the final it will be a strong final that only the lucky team will win.

Morocco has only made Morocco proud - if they win - it is Morocco winning not the whole Africa
But yes - many people are happy - but on the other hand its very sad seeing the legends like Neymar and Ronaldo crying
I have now lost the interest in matches because Ronaldo is not in the tournament any more

If you read through Christana Ronaldo social media post today you will see how heart breaking it was for the legend to retire from active football without winning world cup for his country, but this is football anything can happen so Ronaldo has to man up and be grateful for all he has achieved in his football career.

When it comes to Ronaldo it seems like news relating to him brings the internet alive. I think Ronaldo himself will be expecting criticism and speculations after Portugal got eliminated from the world cup especially to an African side who are coming this far for the first time. Its unfortunate his poor games at Manchester United will be a problem getting a team to pay so much wages for his services, I think its best he takes the Saudi deal and enjoys his money with rest of mind but knowing Ronaldo he won’t want to end his career quietly.

English national team been eliminated in the World Cup does not mean that the play shity football. Those guys are all professional players and they had a good ride up through the quarter-finals. Think about it in the other way that France is the defending champion of the World Cup so been able to eliminate England should not mean that England play rubbish or less efficient football assuming it is a lesser country like Morocco you would have had the freedom to say what you said about England. France is not a lesser country and should not be seen that defeating England is easy.

There is no doubt about English team's quality because they are still best in business but still they are one of the unluckiest teams in sporting history as they lost seventh quarterfinal and again fail to have any positive result which is surely one of the saddest thing for English fans which were looking for better results from this team after many years but Harry Kane's one missed penalty give them another shocking exit which is now going to take time for recovery.

But, surely now things looking positive with many youngsters having good potential for giving their best in coming years France was surely better but still England were also in command, and they have done good job for having good result but at the end they are eliminated and now have to wait for another four years.

If you have been following Morocco from day one you will understand that those guys are playing good football and they are playing even one of the best footballer in this world cup.
Their attackers are used to destroying defenders one-on-one I remember one match, probably the match before the Portugal that the attacker single-handedly destroyed the defender of Spain.
I can also tell you that Morocco is the best team in terms building up the game from there own 18th and end up in the other people's 18.
They always play defensive and when they get possession of the ball they don't shoot out, the to play pass even from their 18 box to the opponent.
They have strong players and strong team and good coach and strong fan base and success is also in their side.

They are playing a football that gets good results, but not a football that is fun to watch. These days football teams figured out that if you do not have a much better team than your opponent, the best thing you could do is have one striker that is fast and can shoot well, and have 2 super fast wingers, and all else will just defend.

That means 7 defenders, 2 wingers, 1 striker and 1 goalkeeper, sure it doesn't look like "7 defenders", it looks like 4 defenders and 3 midfield, but those 3 midfield players are usually all going back and defending all game. This allows them to counter perfectly with 3 people, and that is what Morocco did, and what Croatia did too, and all smaller clubs do everywhere.

On the other hand the OP looks like you need to change the options for your last poll because France and Morocco will never be in the final for either of them. The funny thing is there were 5 people who voted for that lol.

I just checked again and I noticed that was a mistake, Morocco will be playing against France in semi final, definitely one country will have to go home, it's not possible for the two countries to meet in final, maybe those 5 people that voted didn't check well, I think the OP should edit that, Morocco and France can't meet in final. I don't know the reason why the OP didn't add Croatia in his poll, did he forget about Croatia or did the OP think that Croatia will be defeated by Argentina? I think Croatia should be added, no country should be underestimated, don't be suprise that Croatia is going to defeat Argentina.

You are right, Morocco and France will not meet in the final because these two teams will face each other in the semifinals, which is certain one of them will go home or fight for third place. op should make morocco vs croatia and morocco vs argentina as well as france vs croatia and argentina vs france.

I'm sure the quarter-finals team still has the same chance but for Morocco they have to face the seeded team again in the semifinals, that's the tough road they have to go through to reach the final. aside from that argentina has a bigger chance to step into the final.

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,

It would be way different both for England and for Kane. Harry Kane has scored 53 goals alongside Rooney as England top goalscorer, if only he had scored the 2nd penalty than he would have been the England top goalscorer as well as being the hero that save England on that day. He is still one of the best penalty takers though but he wasted his chance on that day and that would have haunt him

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.

Maybe it's strange for many but still its fact they have done amazing stuff in this world cup and beat teams like Belgium, Spain and now Portugal which is never been easy for any weak side and with this no one can call them a weak or unexpected because they have few top quality players those are involved in top clubs around UEFA and there were talks about them that Morocco could be DARK HORSE for this cup and they already in last four which is surely amazing stuff even now things are not easy with they are going to face one of the toughest sides but still a good and quality performance from them against world's best sides.

Now mostly feeling we will be having France vs Argentina but here still we can expect upsets because both Croatia and Morocco are on good run with positive attitude which can give them good encouragement and positive results which helps them for having spot into last two even just one or both can go.
