the surprise of this world cup was the elimination of spain and the qualification of morocco, since the first minute started morocco had it clear how to play against spain, and it came out as they thought, they took them to penalties.

The most contested matches will be played, more balanced, Brazil is the favorite and Argentina will have to do their best if they want to continue in the race.

Argentina i do not personaly see to go to the end and win. Probaly France i think they play on one level above then al other nations. At the end will Marocco win, this would be biggest and bigger sensation when Greece win Euro 2004 in Portugal. Brazil or France are my favourites. I miss fotball everday. Cant wait saturday

I'm curious if Morocco makes a surprise and reaches at the semi-finals. I think that almost the whole planet would become a fan of the rival team. In my opinion, nobody would want Morocco to have a real chance of a final.

Morocco is a humble and very solid team, they are getting better and better, they have already beaten Spain and don't be surprised if they beat Portugal, a great team that shows a good physical and collective game.

once again soccer gives you a surprise, now portugal was eliminated by morocco in the quarterfinals, although this sounds strange morocco is among the 4 best in the world, no team should trust and give everything from the first minute.

And we have another mega sensation. For the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, an African team advanced to the semi-finals. I'm thinking what Portugal has been doing since the 60th minute, when Morocco fell from strength ... Instead of pressing harder and equalizing, they often played the ball inefficiently and slowly, and if they equalized the second goal, it was rather a formality, especially since Morocco finished in 10th

morocco has surprised the whole world with their performance so far in the world cup, they have not lost since the cup started and every time they are stronger and are knocking down great teams, be careful and do not be surprised if they eliminate france, we all know that is crazy, but this is soccer and the games have to be played, anything can happen.

it happens that sometimes small formations are ambitious and have great results. I don't know if it will be a kind of Greece that won the European championship, but Morocco deserves appreciation. They made many surprises and it's very nice.

the best friends of psg, mbappe vs hakimi, will face each other for the first time in the semifinals of a world cup, a duel of great players, also they will face each other because mbappe plays left forward and hakimi plays right back.

it depends on what day he will have, because this player also catches weak matches where he fails to score. We'll see what happens because i'm not that excited and i don't have any preference for the winner

In this match France - Morocco, in my opinion, there is only one favorite, i.e. the current world champions France. I don't think Morocco will make another sensation. I believe that the historic result of the semi-final for Morocco as the first African team is already a mega achievement for them and at this stage their adventure with the World Cup will end.
