Being unbeaten till this very encounter against France is still a morale booster. Despite losing 1-0 is not going to stop them from fighting for Africa, they can still come back to equalize this game only if they make use of any little chances they have and it will affect the France team more than they expected.

Well, right now, it's France 2 and Morocco 0, I think is over for Morocco, they have done their best, they played so well against France today but unfortunately, they squandered alot of opportunities which I am particularly not happy about, another things is being too careless which is how they conceded the second goal, it's very annoying but all the same, it is what it is, Morocco was never expected to win anyway.
Congratulations to France and good luck to them playing against Argentina in the finals.

Morocco did a great job. By the way, they should not have lost to France tonight. What strikes me is that the favor factor is extremely high throughout Africa. All African countries were all for Morocco tonight. I don't see that happening anytime soon in Europe and South America. There they like to keep going when the neighboring countries lose, and preferably with as large numbers as possible. For example Brazil and Argentina. But Morocco has shown that it has a very strong team. Perhaps a better team than Senegal, while they are significantly lower in the rankings?

ya.ya.yo!

[RILWAN]

To a great extent Morocco team have performed beyond expectation because no one even expected them to play in the qualifying stage of the world cup but their we're able to face France tonight giving them a run off for the winning, and as you know football is an unpredictable games and the lord of soccer was with France but above all, Morocco really made the entire African proud tonight.
And I wish them all the best in their last match in the world cup against Croatia for the third place in the competition.

Yes, the game is over for Morocco because with just 5 minutes of added time there is no way they can perform a miracle to come back in this game against the defending champions France. Morocco's performance was very good but they lacked the ability to convert their chances to score goals and they also got demoralized by the first goal of France that was scored barely 5 minutes of the game in the first half I think they would have given France a tough time if the goal was not scored.

The second goal that was scored by France was not a result of carelessness rather it was caused by pressure that the French players mounted on the defenders of Morocco so I don't think we should place the blame on the players because this is the first time they are getting to this stage and they played against the best team in the world right now and also the defending champions.

Morocco's overall World Cup performance has been outstanding; they have made history by becoming the first African team to advance to the semifinals, and they have also advanced because they are playing better football than other teams. I wish them luck and am hopeful that they will defeat Croatia to finish the tournament in third place.

[Marykeller]

I would continue to support Morocco despite their terrible first- and second-half performances and the incorrect defensive formation that contributed to their loss since they did Africa proud. Who would have thought that an African nation would get to the World Cup semifinals? Who knows, perhaps another African team will advance to this round of the world cup.

Morocco has a chance to bring home the bronze for all of us Africans. They shouldn't act the way they did when they faced France. Let them play Croatia in an attacking and defending style.

The French team made some tactical changes that perplexed Morocco play style and made France even harder to challenge. It is unfortunate to see Morocco leaving the race after all the efforts made before the final game, nevertheless, they should play good against Croatia to bring something precious for their country and for African.

Even if they lose the match against Croatia and finish at the 4th place, they should not be too disappointed. Initially no one even believed that Morocco will be able to qualify for the pre-quarter finals. They were placed in a very tough group along with Belgium and Croatia. Most of us thought that they will finish at the 3rd place in their group. And they topped their group in the end. And in knockout stage, they managed to defeat two of the strongest opponents possible - Spain and Portugal (both of them were considered as tournament favorites).

In the match for third place, the two teams have almost the same game system, both of them are good at defense and also their weakness in the semifinals. Hopefully, in the match, both teams will play more openly and give an interesting performance to watch, although I rarely watched the match for the bronze medal because often seeing it both teams would play softer and reduce the tempo of the game.

Morocco were not terrible in the first half, it was just a slight defensive error that led to the early goal that forced them to change their playing style. If you noticed in the game they had more possession than France which is not their normal style and France were more on the defensive but looked more dangerous anytime they attacked. Morocco were able to create enough chances that would have gotten them the equaliser and even win them the game but the noticeably, they do not have a good finisher. There was this very clear chance at goal that Morocco had just before France doubled their lead,  but the Moroccan player was sluggishly dribbling and trying to work the ball into the net instead of taking a quick snapshot like Mbappe does. Morocco played well but they were not deadly in attack, France played well too, their defence was not so perfect but they were more deadly anytime they attacked.

Congratulations to Morocco, they have made history and Africa proud.

Morocco have been phenomenal in their semi final they played with all their determination but couldn't produce a goal . They had total control of the ball but attacking factor was not up to the mark .  Anyways the whole African world enjoyed Moroccon game and thier strength on field.
Better luck next time.

I vote for Hakim Ziyech, and many agree that he can be one of the best African players in this World Cup, their success in reaching the semifinals is truly extraordinary and no one predicted that a team outside Europe and America could do it and they made history, don't want to comment on the match later where they will play against France, whether this will be France's second consecutive Final or will there be a new history where Morocco will go to the Final.

I see him as one of the beet player Africa have now. This world cup is a good experience for Morocco,  it is a history for Morocco.  Morocco played a standard football to world cup standard, their passes was accurate.  Morocco was not lucky to make a goal but performance was still quality and standard, accurate passes. They proved to the world they are world cup standard without much confidence to play against any team to win.

Yes definitely morocco showed the world that football cannot only be played and dominated by European,  an African team can also play the world class football and can show defeat to strongest teams like Spain,  Portugal. Morocco proved the world that they know how to play and enjoy football.

Moroccans are better than Croatians according to my analysis of the two teams, and I will book Morocco to win third place. They gave France a tough time with a higher ball possession which Croatians wouldn't have been able to do. Their defence is good enough and their goalkeeper is great, all they need is to work on their attack, they don't really have that against strong teams, and it would be a problem for them if they are facing Croatia.

The match might end up in a penalty shootout if they would not be so aggressive in scoring goals.

Tomorrow Moroccan team performed wonderfully well during the tournament. They came to win and with that mindset they were able to beat 5 top European teams. And even though they didn't proceed to the finals, I see them winning the third place in the tournament. I also see most of their players playing for top clubs and top leagues and going even further to win championships. Congratulations to them it wasn't easy.

Which on is tomorrow Morrocan team performed wonderfully well? Are you trying to confuse us? Or it's a mistake.  Meanwhile I am very proud of Morroco  about their world cup performance. They didn't play like inferior to anyone and no country will brag that they defeated Morocco easily.
The third place battle will even be a stronger one than the one they face with France.

I am proud of Morocco even though they didn't win France. But they dominated the match. Football is a game of luck that means France was lucky to win the match upon all the attacks from the opponent.

Some people are saying that African football is for fun while their counterparts are to win trophies. And when I critically or mere looking into the saying, there is an element of truth. I will accept the saying until no see African team wins the world cup tournament

no doubt Morroca performed well in the Qatar world cup, as An African team they did Their best to represent. We have other countries that are been doing well too. Senegal and Cameron also did well too. Regarded what happened to them in the world cup, I still believe Africa team will win the world cup some days. If only the CAF group reduce corruption in Africa football at all around. Corruption is killing Africa performance in top tournament.

Congratulations to Morroco, I believe they will the bronze on Saturday against Croatia

Football isn't a game of luck, but sometimes you can become lucky and that happens in every field of life. Morocco didn't use luck to get to the semi finals, they deserved it as they were the better side for almost all the matches they played. They had the best defense in this world cup tournament and conceding just three goals of which two came in their last game to knock them out of the tournament and the other was a home goal in previous match. France on paper are a better team with more experience than Morocco so it's no surprise they won. They're the current champions and are the best team to defeat Argentina (who has been favoured all through this tournament).

France are more like an African team and I can relate with them so they're my obvious pick to win it all. The goodnews I read online was that Real Madrid has given Benzema a go ahead to participate in the finals. This is goodnews as France has additional support if they find it difficult to break the Argentina defense which I don't think it'll be hard to achieved.
