The 2022 fifa world cup have come and finally it is going, and Argentina after going through a tough battle against France, made it and came out victorious, right here and now, I can only imagine the kind of jubilation that will be in the whole of Argentina right now, France gave Argentina a really tough time, but I am happy for them, most especially Messi, he needed to win this cup more than anything else, I am glad he didn't fail in actualizing this dream, a big congratulations to them.

Argentina's victory was expected by the entire globe, and I'm pleased it actually happened.  Fans of Messi have been waiting a long time to see their beloved football hero win the world cup, making him the only player in the last century to have won every major football trophy.

Argentina was dealt a really difficult hand by France, which made me wonder if Argentina would be able to withstand the pressure France puts on them in the second half. I'm happy Argentina won the game on a penalty shot in the end.

I have to say that this was one of the best football matches of all time especially has to be the best match ever played in the World Cup. Both France and Argentina played an exemplary amount of football and gave a great show for the audience.

I am personally really happy for Lionel Messi as he was deprived of the World Cup in 2014 and were out of the semi-finals in 2018 if I'm not wrong. He cannot finally lift the World Cup which he has been longing for a long time. I actually feel bad for Kylian Mbappe as even after scoring a Hattrick in the finals of the World Cup he is unable to lift the great trophy.

Argentina deserves to win the World Cup,  Messi also deserve to win a world before he gets retired. This victory proves he is a legend indeed. Many people believe Argentina will win the world cup because they have what it takes to win the World Cup. Messi  is a real legend,  he never gave up even France were putting more energy.

I think that Mbapé must learn many things, the first, he must not think he is better than the others, he must be a more humble player, he cannot mess with so many people and say that football in Europe is more advanced than in South America, because he cannot It is, and I think that the lesson was raw, if they had been so advanced they would have won the Cop very easily, but you cannot mess with the South Americans, with the Brazilians, Argentines, Colombians, and all those who play soccer here, the lesson is If you don't learn it, you won't be able to win anymore, even if you are the best of all, despite everything, football is very fair and things happen because they should be, in the case of African footballers, I think they were very well represented in this World Cup For Morocco, in particular I am always moved to see the Africans play, because they play with a lot of passion.

World Cup Third Place Match Recap: Croatia 2-1 Morocco | Modric goes out with a win

The second half started at pace and it was Orsic who almost put the Croatians up by two with a wicked shot that was deflected wide by Jawad El Yamiq. The game settled down and Croatia started to sit back and then look for a counter attack to put the game out of the Morocco’s reach.

Morocco made another move and brought on Azzedine Ounahi. The wide midfielder has been one of the breakout stars of this World Cup. He came on for the 18 year old Genk midfielder Bilal El Khannouss who was playing in his first World Cup game after only making 16 senior appearances at club level in his career. Dari and Boufal were then replaced by Badr Benoun and Anass Zaroury.

Undoubtedly, this game should have been lived with great intensity in AFRICA, this will serve a lot to correct what they must correct and assume everything that comes from now on.

At the first place, I never believed that Messi is going to be win the world cup which is still very surprising to many persons because France that should have win then match was not able to win because of the way there players were playing which had lots of mistakes and chances to have scored more than five goals. Finally the world cup is over and Messi had just break the record.

I think this world cup would be one of the best for the african teams one managed to take the fourth place and senegal managed to get to the knock out stage unfortunatly for them they faced england and the others tunisia, ghana and cameroon showed good performance and they managed to beat some strong teams like brazil and france this means that the african teams had improved hugely in recent years and we might see more of them on the later stages in the next world cups.

The fact that Morocco set a new record by going to the semi finals is a really inspiring step for the African team,and as beautiful as it is a newspaper in Israel more precisely the Jerusalem Post had their front page with the title of the article "We are all Morocco" showing support to the African team and of course Israel hoping one day to be playing in the World Cup and performing well too.

Many African teams will not be afraid and also will not feel inferior to any European,American or South American teams and they will face it like equals,something that they have always suffered in silence,the feeling of being inferior will be removed once and for good now.

Argentina did deserve to win any thing because Argentina play very well in the first half but the second half Argentina did not play anything because mbappe showed that it doesn't have the strength to win the match just like that because i believe that, what is happening, and without coman penalty that he missed or illoris catch one ball they would not win France

For Morocco this world cup will be an experience for them to prepare to do better in the next world cup. For Morocco to reach the semi-finals I feel as if they have win something so big nobody could ever thought they will get this world cup.

They won the respect for the World but let's be more realistic. In the next 4 years, Spanish players will be more experienced. Portugal will be more powerful. France will remain the same if not better. Argentina might drop and Brazil will return. It is hard to think that Morocco could play better in the next World Cup. I assume they will be like Algeria when they popped then missed big. Morocco might remain stable or be a little better but the other teams will improve a lot. Even Germany will not remain the same.

I don't really agree with you, Morocco has quite a lot of great players who play in the European leagues, so what they are currently doing (entering the semifinals of the world cup) will definitely be able to get them back in the next world cup

the golden generation of morocco will definitely prove once again that they are a team that will keep consistent going forward

Morocco has set good standard for other Africa team, their quality performance will be what other Africa teams would want to emulate.  Teams like Egypt,  Nigeria,  Senegal will pick challenge just to be as Morocco.
Morocco win is a victory for all african.
