The position from which Morocco has come from the semi -finals is worthy of praise. However, it can be said that they are a good team. Playing in the semifinals in the World Cup is nothing less especially for Morocca. I believe they were far behind the courage to play with their big teams and the confidence they needed. If they can maintain this continuity of their game and able to grow their confidence, then Morocco can win the world cup in the future. It can be considered a big problem for few teams who play well but lag behind for experience.

It is very difficult to win the world cup, especially for a team like this. But they can continue the success they have achieved now and if there is a great interest in football in the country, maybe we can start to mention the name of Morocco together with the big football countries such as Brazil, Argentina and France in the coming years.
The general problem of countries that have not had success in football in the past is that once they are successful, they do not play well enough in other years and cannot show a stable performance Smiley

Congratulations to Croatia for finishing 3rd at the World Cup. A well-deserved victory against Morocco. The Croatians were the better team in the first half, and after the break they easily maintained their one-goal advantage. I believe that the nod to the hosts of the tournament and the selection of the Qatari referee for this match was unnecessary, because he was by far the weakest actor of the show.
Croatia managed to show very good performance in two world cup events, 2018 in Russia and 2022 in Qatar, they were not seeded but were able to prove and go further, this is an extraordinary achievement for them and they deserve to celebrate.
while Morocco was also very good at this Qatar world cup even though they failed to reach 3rd place but being able to move up to the semifinals was something that no one had predicted before, Morocco managed to steal the world's attention right now with what they did in Qatar.

Croatia also performed well in previous World Cups. And they have maintained consistency in this World Cup as well. It was not easy for them to win against Brazil in the quarter finals. They played very well. Unfortunately, Croatia's defenders failed to resist Argentina and Messi.
It was beyond imagination that Morocco would play in the semi-finals. They performed very well. Their match strategy was excellent. Due to the outstanding performance of the defender and goalkeeper, they managed to qualify for the semi-finals.

Today is the day we've all been waiting for the finals! I'll miss some of my favorite countries because they didn't make it to the finals Brazil and England and many other nations, but in today's Argentina playing against France, Morocco gave it their all, and Croatia took third place. With today's finals, I see that everyone has their hopes for Argentina, but mine haven't changed, I still believe that France will win in a straight match. Drake is betting on Argentina, but I'm still sticking to my gun on France's victory, I wish both Messi and Mbappe good luck in today's game.

There are different types of research on going around the football world cup and different calculations are also started. In view of that calculation, Messi is going to make another record again today. This record will be the longest playing time in the World Cup. We know that Italian footballer Paolo Maldini holds the record for the longest playing time in the World Cup so far. He played 2 thousand 217 minutes. Argentinian star footballer Lionel Messi is on the second position in this list. Messi played 2 thousand 194 minutes. That means Messi will have to play 24 more minutes to pass Paolo Maldini. And tonight Messi is going to make that record by fighting to win the cup against France. This record will live forever with Messi's name regardless of wins or losses. Even he failed five times in the world cup but this is the last chance in his life. So we have to wait for getting the result.

It's not easy for Argentina or France to win, they certainly have to work even harder in that match because the two teams, if we look at them, have a strong defense and a very solid front line and both teams also have star players, namely Messi and Mbappe who are both scored 5 goals against opponents during playing in world cup matches, so in my opinion only those who implement better tactics will win the match.
Argentina have won the world cup twice, they have also been runners-up three times. Head to Head both are still superior to Argentina, where out of 12 matches Argentina won six times, while France was only able to win three times, the rest ended in draws.

This year's World Cup they meet again in the final match, the development of football has also progressed enough for both of them, so Head to Head and previous meetings do not guarantee victory for anyone. When viewed from the composition of the players they currently have, France is slightly superior, because they have young players who shine in their respective league competitions.

Almost six hours left in the start of the big final between Argentina and France. I hope you people have placed the bet on your favorite team and hope your team wins.

Both teams are favorites to win today's final and we can't say if one team is stronger than the other. It will be a big game not only for the two nations but also for the two star players Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé .

Any idea if there would be an ending ceremony before the start of the match today in Qatar ? Timings?

I wish Morocco should have won the 3rd place to mark a greater history in Africa after they have made a great history getting to the semi- final in the world cup. They have really tried getting to this point.

I completely agree with you, unfortunately they didn't achieve that feat, but they played very well again.

But Morocco's defeat today does not in any way diminish the feat carried out by Walid Regragui's team in Qatar. The campaign of the Moroccan national team is the best by an African team in the entire history of the World Cups. I've been researching here not to be wrong, and before that, only Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002 and Ghana in 2010 came close, but didn't make it past the quarterfinals.

Who knows, maybe in 2026 an African team won't be able to reach the final of the world cup against a "favourite" team?
I hope that FIFA will continue to give African teams more and more space to showcase their talent, as they have already proved that they have a lot.

The success of Morocco is really a huge success for African football.
I remember Ghana at the 2010 World Cup and their penalty in the last minute of extra time against Uruguay. Then they failed to score a goal and in the end Uruguay qualified for the semi-finals.
It took 12 years for an African national team to reach the quarter-finals again and get a new chance to reach the semi-finals.
After South Korea's semi-final at the 2002 World Cup, not a single Asian national team came close to reaching the semi-finals.
All this shows that the successes of Asian and African national teams at world championships are still relatively rare and that European and South American national teams are still of higher quality and more successful at world championships.

Everyone expected Morocco to be eliminated from the first round. But to everyone's surprise, Morocco qualified for the knockout round as group champions. Morocco's attack was not strong. However, Morocco's performance was stable. The coach's match strategy was excellent. Also their defense was very strong. If Morocco's attack had been stronger, they would probably have been able to qualify for the finals as well.

Both Morocco and Croatia fighting for the bronze medal shows how strong was the group where both of them started the World Cup journey. I agree that everyone thought that Belgium and Croatia would qualify for the knockout stage but Belgium underperformed while Morocco played great defensively. I can't believe that no one managed to score a goal against them until the semi final game! They only concede an autogoal against Canada. That's really an impressive achievement.

So many times people have been making wrong prediction about morocco caused by it was always facing the strong nation but after it has been beaten by france and then croatia and morocco deserve praises from its fans.
I can't even believe morocco can even walk until the semi final. That was proving if the quality from even unpopular country can't be underestimated. Im so glad to see that morocco was able to go to the semi final although it was losing against france.
Morocco has been trying so hard to make its dream come true but it was not lucky enough.

I believe the Moroccan players have lost their motivation from the last game that end their world cup 1st position journey and Croatia know how to take advantage of the situation there by using it to their advantage, when in the early minutes of the match both team scored 1-1 goal I known that was goo g to be a tough one for Morocco.
But the Croatia players plaid really well tonight.
Both were very equal at the last game. Croatia is a slightly dominating the match caused by it has 51% ball possessions compared with morocco. Croatia has been making more shots on goal compared with morocco. The defenders of croatia was doing so well when the second goal already made by croatia caused by morocco was going all in to attack croatia to make another goal. Morocco has been trying so hard to make the match become draw but that's very bad for morocco caused by any effort that already tried became worthless and morocco must accept if croatia was far better in the last match to get the third position.

Yes, Morocco lacked experience and coherence, they could have equalized and moved the game into overtime, but luck was on the side of Croatia, in any case, fourth place for Morocco is a huge success, before that they did not go further than 1/8 (1986).

I will side with Argentina because if they dont win now Messi will never get another chance to win.  Morocco did amazing even in the loss to Croatia, thats a former finalist and they scored making them for certain one of the best teams in the world for this generation quite an accomplishment and surprise to many around the world.

Your wish was not even coming true. Morocco must realize the lost against croatia. I saw that how hard morocco was trying to be on the third place by trying to make a goal to force the result become draw and as i predicted in the past if croatia's defense was very solid to defend any attack that was coming from the morocco. I guess that if it can be said that if croatia is a bit superior compared with morocco in term of defense but morocco was lucky enough it can go to the semifinal and try to fight hard for the third place with croatia. I really appreciate the effort by morocco's players but that's not enough to be able to win the champion league.

In the end, France should have solved almost all the problems for the fever that started with Rabiot.
A wave of Covid was feared but this was not the case (at least not officially) and according to the latest rumors everyone should be available for tomorrow, Giroud on the other hand could miss the match but for other reasons.
I don't know if Qatar has the same seasonal diseases because there is many Flu cases in European and Mediterranean countries. Of course this will not rule out Covid-19 cases but might confuse people for a while.
Now Giroud is injured but he seems to be present in Argentina game so he will play but for how much.

Covid is everywhere, you can't really isolate properly and have a somewhat normal life in the world cup.

There's people everywhere, and people sneeze and touch everything, so it's just a matter of luck if the players get covid or not.

Hopefully both teams go to the final with their full squad.
