FIFA 2022 world cup

Like I saw a vision, I am the only person that voted for Morocco in this poll, and it looks like it is coming to pass, Morocco on their way to the finals, semi finals have just been secured, one more team to beat now and there they go.

What a vision you had back then, before the World Cup had started. I'm sure you weren't so sure of your pick back then; you only did it because everyone else was voting for other teams to win the World Cup, and you chose Morocco since no one voted for them. So far, so good; the underdog Morocco has shown to be one of the best in the competition, defeating top teams like Spain and Portugal. There players will be sought for after the World Cup and their ranking in FIFA will also rise. I envision the Moroccans to make another history in the semifinals.

@Agbe
Brazil is out,
Portugal is out
I think you should update the poll with current team that have secured their semi final matches.
We have just one more match between England and France, this match will tell whether France will continue to be on this poll or they will be replaced by England, it's been an incredible world cup experience so far, hoping for more surprises.

I also predicted though I thought Morocco would win from penalty but they won it from the simple goal scored.

Thanks for reminding me to update the poll. I will like everyone to go and revote again from the poll. Since most of the major teams have been knockout from the tournament. I will still edit it after England and France match.

Morocco gave an incredible game.  A remarkable moment to say the least, a relentless attack saw off Portugal to reach the semi-finals as the third team.  This is the first time in history that an African team has advanced from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals of the World Cup.  Endless greetings and welcome from millions of football fans as Morocco beat Portugal to reach the semi-finals.

This is a great surprise and a new history of the African continent team reaching the semifinals happy to welcome their victory over Portugal who couldn't do much even though Morocco's game was depressed, but it was able to handle it well even I saw Morocco had so many good opportunities it's just the finish not good enough with a single goal to be unforgettable history for Morocco.

Watch Elon Musk celebrate the victory of team Morocco.

Morocco has done the impossible.  And they beat teams like Portugal to reach the semi-finals, a record first among African countries . So maybe Elon Musk was congratulating them or maybe he was a Moroccan supporter . In this year's World Cup, many surprising events are constantly happening . Anyway congratulations to Morocco and best wishes to them

And it has been proven once again that nothing is impossible in a football match, even though it brings together two teams that are above the level of one team being superior to the other. Morocco showed that they should not be underestimated by any country by advancing to the semifinals. Starting from their successful journey to become the top of Group F standings, then they beat Spain in a penalty shootout, and today we see them beat Portugal who is predicted to be the favorite to advance to the final round. However, all the teams I mentioned must be willing to be taken over by Morocco. They really are amazing. Congratulations to Morocco!

Everything has its expiration date. I think Ronaldo's date has come. He's old now, man. I know, I know, one man can't change the whole game or carry the whole team. But back in the days, CR7 was capable of somewhat doing that. His presence alone had a great impact in the overall match.
But today it was different. His presence was not felt and that one goal from morocco put them in a great pressure. That dream ends here, even it is hard to accept.
We may see Morocco vs Argentina in the final.
It's one more dream from a GOAT. Hope he can make this dream come true.

I was hoping to see this, but that is not happening now.

Ronaldo can be seen shedding some tears as he leaves the field into the dressing room. Who would have thought that Morocco, the only African country to still remain in the tournament just beat Portugal by a goal and thereby sending them home and out of the tournament. The dreams of Ronaldo lifting the World Cup has now be eliminated by the Moroccans. I think it was a great game and in my opinion, the Portuguese underestimated the Moroccans and got beaten. I almost felt pity for Portugal as their players took the loss badly. In all, it was a great game. Just not the results I was expecting but that’s football for you.

 
Football is just something wonderful the way the unexpected things just keep happening you can never predict an actual winner in a match until the match is played after the 90mins mark. This world cup has continued not to dissapoint and have brought great memories to the fans as well as the teams playing the football.

Who would have thought that at the beginning of the world cup that Morocco is going to beat Belgium, spain and now Portugal is just something miraculous, after the wonderful and brilliant win portugal had over Switzerland nobody gave the African nation a chance of survival against Ronaldo and his men.

Its normal for Ronaldo to shed tears because this is his last performance at the world cup stage and his team was used to set a world cup history.

Kudos to Africa and Morocco hope they can continue this all the way to the final

History was just watching as this Morocco vs Portugal match took place.  Because people never imagined that it would happen because an ordinary team like Morocco would beat Portugal and secure the semi-finals.  Such imagination viewers could never imagine.  But CR7 was a little disappointed as he walked off the field alone after the match and this was his last World Cup trophy 🏆.

It is a very happy moment for Morocco but a sad moment for Portugal. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo who played as the last World Cup of his life but his dream was completely shattered in this match today. The most emotional thing in this match is Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the field in tears. From the first stage, Portugal performed very well in all the matches. But in today's match, they are attacking a lot but can not bring any success. For which Portugal lost today's match and Ronaldo's dream was broken.

[Zaguru12]

I don't really think that it would have made a big difference if Cristiano Ronaldo would have played in the starting eleven today. I mean people just have to acknowledge that Morocco has the strongest defense in this world cup so far and i doubt that Portugal would have created a more good chances to score if Ronaldo would have started. Also he came into the game right after the half time so he had like 40 minutes to have an impact and to score but he did not really have a good scene if i remember correctly.
I would say that overall the win of Morocco was not that undeserved. Of course Portugal had a higher ball possession but in the end that does not matter.

I think you just bite yourself, with Morocco having the best defense in tournament and all you can do was bench your nations highest goal scorer and arguably the best goal poacher in world football. If you observe the minute Ronaldo came in there were more crosses that were causing the Morocco defence some issues coming up. In other ways I wouldn't blame Fernando Santos in not bench a player that just came of from an hattrick. He could have just find a way to incorporate both Ronaldo and Ramos into the game.

I am not taking anything off the Moroccans, they were great defensively today. I hope they go on and win it

[Hamza2424]

ohhh What are you looking at dude like really that was quite serious anways goalkeeping by Argentina i think i am much impressed after Saudi Arabia's keeper. A very intense match it was but Goalkeeper made it. What i liked over there it was the assistance by Messi, In my one of posts, i did mention that Teamwork is lacking in Argentina and they are here on players' individual brilliance. A very turning journey but there still in.  

[Oluwa-btc]

Broken 💔 Dream's for Cristiano Ronaldo and all of Portugal National Team. I feel gutted seeing the side and my favorites knocked out of the FIFA World Cup. Morocco defended like never before, blames are on the coach for dropping Ronaldo on the bench.

A win for Morocco is a win for all but I'm a bit sad seeing Cristiano Ronaldo going off the FIFA World Cup competition so early.
Good luck to Morocco in the future, I didn't give them the support the deserve but they surprised me totally by beating, Belgium, holding Croatia down, knocking Span outta the Competition and now my favorite Portugal. Good Luck to my Morroccan Brothers.

We have watched the match between Morocco vs Portugal. One goal for Morocco became the capital for them to advance to the semi-finals. Portugal controlled the field up to 70%, but they were unable to score. Precisely more opportunities obtained by Morocco. The counterattack carried out by the Moroccan players endangered Diogo Costa's goal. But unfortunately they were not able to take advantage of the opportunity properly.
Congratulations to Morocco. We miss you, and hopefully the Walid Reragui team will play all the way to the final round. Because this will be a new history for the world cup.

We will soon witness the match between England vs France. This is the most exciting match, because the two teams have equal abilities. I hope this match will be won by france.

This is a good wish and I hope the keeper gets rewarded as the best keeper for the tournament. Yassine Bounou has made goal bound kicks not only from the Spain match but today's match with Portugal. Morocco is looking like a very serious team aiming for the ultimate price, the world cup victory. I guess playing the next match with either England or France will be a thing of pride for not only Morocco but Africa continent.

[Rikafip]

the reason why Brazil lost the match against Croatia was that they underestimated Croatia too much, they played too relaxed, even when they were winning 1-0, but Croatia had an extraordinary mentality, they continued to attack without stopping. ^{(livakovic is a great goalkeeper, croatia are lucky to have him)}

Nah I don't think that Brazil underestimating us is the reason they lost. We were simply tactically better, our midfield completely outplayed theirs (Modric completely dominated Casemiro who is very important for them) and Juranovic neutralized Vinicius who is one of their main players. If anything, they were scared of us. If you noticed, they didn't do their little dance after Neymar scored, as they knew they are not out of the woods yet, which was true in the end.


Kudos to Morocco, first African team ever that reached semifinals. I remember how disappointed I was after we played 0-0 in them during group stage, but they proved to be a very dangerous team. Hopefully we meet each other in the finals.

This is a reality that must be accepted no one thinks that Morocco has stepped so far obviously Portugal is more favored than Morocco but this is reality
Portugal has done whatever they can and Portugal Journey stopped here and they had to find a new generation especially Ronaldo replacement
In the last few days the results of the match have been very surprising and I want to know if anyone bet for Morocco and the odds?

[BIT-BENDER]

I am a Messi fan so I really enjoyed this, Portugal out of the World Cup meaning Cristiano Ronaldo out of the World Cup. I personally think that things aren’t working out for him, he is a great player with citadel standard greatness but ending this way is crazy.

Not only is it sad to see Cristiano Ronaldo out but to know that he could not also make the first team in the Portugal team as he normally do is a decline to his standard.

[YinShuiSiYuan]

Another unexpected day and surprising win by Morocco, they literally deserved every bit of it what a phenomenal game they played and what an outstanding defense. The goal was a cherry on top and they marked their name in history as the first African team to qualify for semi finals and waiting for them to be in finals . Portugal and Cristiano hard luck and sad day for them although they tried alot to score goal but the Morocco's goalkeeper stopped all their attempts .
Congratulations Morocco 🇲🇦

Portugal was eliminated from the quarter finals. One of the greatest living legends in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo, is gone, never to be seen in a Portugal jersey again. It is really hard to accept the departure of such a living legend. The honor for Ronaldo will last a lifetime

It was all Portugal destiny, and now everyone has to accept it. Morocco is a very surprising team where they have eliminated many top National teams. Morocco drwa versus Croatiain grup stage and beat Belgium, Spain loss at round of 16 and today they also beat Portugal in quarter final. I have never been convinced and aware of Morocco's strength in this World Cup before until today they really showed their strength to the world that they are not a weak team. No about luck, they have all worked hard to be recognized by the world.

We will soon witness the match between England vs France. This is the most exciting match, because the two teams have equal abilities. I hope this match will be won by france.

Yes. Both of these teams have enough players. It is very difficult to predict who will advance to the semi-finals. Both of these teams are from Europe. The line up has been confirmed, for the English team the front line is Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Phil Foden with a 4-3-3 formation. Meanwhile, France uses a 4-2-3-1 formation. Of course from this formation, England will play in an attacking style.

[GigaBit]

Ronaldo's dream did not come true. Cristiano Ronaldo had to leave without touching the greatly desired World Cup trophy. A football legend ended his World Cup chapter with the pain of breaking his dream on Morocco's history-making night. As in the previous match, Fernando Santos made the XI by keeping Ronaldo on the bench. But every day there are new surprises? Not even today. Rather, it will now be seen as a major reason for the coach's failure. Youssef N-Nessari's goal gave Morocco the lead before the break. Ronaldo came off at the beginning of the second half. Headed for a goal but failed. Also took a shot in added time. But nothing else happened. While Ronaldo was in despair at that moment Morocco floats in the excitement. What Morocco has shown in this Qatar World Cup is truly admirable and the best in their history.

In fact, one of the heroes of Argentina's semi-final is Emiliano Martinez. He has actually become one of the best goalkeepers currently. Two impossible penalty saves played a special role in securing victory for Argentina. The whole world is now praising him.
