FIFA 2022 world cup

[Vaskiy]

I don't have an unexpected it when talking about an underdog team.

This world cup already had a lot of surprises for us, and Morocco was the hero bet today, I play them in a betslip with France and get a nice x5. Is creasy to see them as the underdog to win the world cup, that bet is an x10 on this point. And if that happens I would not be surprised at all.

Go for the underdogs is the best way to win in this world cup 

Haha true that, Underdogs have been brilliant this world cup. However lot of them got screened out in quarters but Morocco is the only one still going strong. I am totally rooting for them to reach to the finals at least. Now that I see that France is their next opponent, I kinda feel they have to go slightly overboard now as compared to other opponents they have faced till now. It's gonna be a very good game for sure.

Croatia to had the same scenario. In the match against Brazil it played the best to stand equal to it and finally won through the penalty. Anyhow here Croatia is the underdog and won the match. In the match between Argentina and Netherlands, it is Netherlands and here the same scenario of penalty decided the match. Every match have favoured to the underdog. In the upcoming matches too similar things could happen.

Morocco played very well in this match but I thought Morocco will play well in this match and Morocco will win this match but the next match Morocco will play in the round they may not win because the next match is against Morocco with very strong team so  I don't think Morocco will win that game

[Minor Miner]

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.

@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.

Who thought the Moroccan team would show such a surprise? This was a completely unexpected result. But I was sure that if Morocco scored first they would win. Portugal's players have the ability to break down the Moroccan defense. However, when the match ended through penalties, both teams were equally determined to win. However, after defeating Belgium and Spain, the Moroccan team showed another surprise by defeating Portugal.
Morocco's next victim could be France? Or will France's star players defeat the Moroccan team easily? What do you think?

This was undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo's last World Cup. For the second time that Ronaldo had been on the bench, this was big mistake. He was the leader of this team above all else. I think Portugal Coach should resing as soon as possible because of this fatal mistake. By the way 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. Morocco has played very well, Congrats Morocco.

Of course, Ronaldo managed to sharpen the game of the Portuguese national team in attack with entering the field, but obviously this was not enough to win and I think he would not have sustained such a pace during the entire match against Morocco, which otherwise quite deservedly reached the semifinals.

[bering]

Morocco has displayed discipline defensive yesterday that parking bus strategy was successfully used by them and Portugal don't have any chances even during the match Portugal only had 3 shot on goals besides that in my opinion the players such as Bernardo Silva or Bruno Fernandes were not able to performing well and sad for Ronaldo this is his last world cup and after eleminate he have to ended his career without trophy from this competition and for Morocco this team was underrated but surprisingly they can able qualified to semifinal for the first time and Morocco has new records at this competition as African team with the most clean sheet

you are right After falling behind 1-0 in the first half, Portugal coach Ronaldo was brought on at the start of the second half. And from the start of the second half, Portugal's attacks increased in pace and scale. But it wasn't enough. If Portugal wasn't 1-0 down, the Portugal coach probably wouldn't have given Ronaldo a chance to play in this match.
I personally think if Ronaldo had been in the squad from the start of the match, Portugal would not have been beaten like that. Portugal's gameplay was quite slow in the first half. And that's why Morocco had a chance to attack and scored a goal. Although we see Morocco's defensive gameplay in every match, the first half of this match was dominated by Morocco's attack. And they are successful in this match too.

domination of attack is indeed owned by Portugal. but that did not allow them to breach the strong Moroccan defenses.
So far Morocco showed the strongest defense in the world cup. but they are not without opportunities. Morocco played well by making the Portuguese players feel frustrated with their missed opportunities. 74% possession of the ball Portugal, with 12 shots, and none penetrated the Moroccan defense.
France must learn from Portugal's defeat if they don't want to face the Moroccan defense in trouble. they have Giroud and Mbappe. they will have to work hard from all fronts to find gaps in the Moroccan defense.

@Agbe
Brazil is out,
Portugal is out

Spain and Germany are also out lol, you're only focus on the quarter final clubs.

The reason why Portugal lost to Morocco is similar with Brazil lost to Croatia, they're only focus to press their opponent to score a goal, but they're don't care with the back line. So when Morocco can do counter attack by give long pass to their strikers, Portugal already too late to defend Morocco's striker. Since Portugal doesn't have a good goal keeper, so it make easy for Morocco to score a goal.

Between these two teams, Morocco and France, I will support the France team because the France team plays much better than the Morocco team. However, if Morocco plays well, it cannot be said in advance which team will win the game between these two teams, because what happens during the game cannot be said.  .So nothing can be said until the game between the two teams is over.

Morocco showed a good game. they even offset games from Spain and Portugal in which there are star players.
against France, it is not easy. but it will be interesting when Morocco can again hold France in the semi-finals. it will be another surprise, how the dark horse team Morocco managed to force the eventual champion favorite to go home early.

Morocco is without a doubt the biggest surprise of the tournament but now they have to face the current champions and France is playing really well, so I think it is likely this is as far as Morocco will make it, however given the right circumstances they still have a chance to make it to the final, on the other match Croatia and Argentina are way closer and any team could win, and while the odds are very favorable to Argentina I think Croatia has played better soccer during this world cup.

[blue Snow]

lots of noise and blame for Kane at the moment, because he missed England's chance to Penalty shoot. but when we look how they play, of course we will agree if France deserves to going to Semifinal. Many notes and corrections to England where must have to fix and development. If they are still like this, until whenever they will not be champions on any world cup, they still have a classic problem with coordination and selfishness.

by the way, we are going to the semifinal, I won't wait until the day, I have to immediately choose them, and I did not doubt to bet an underdog team again at the moment, just follow me if you want money comes to your pocket    here is my bet;



Croatia vs Morroco in the final?

maybe, who is know?

this is the world cup.

[lepbagong]

I chose this year's final between France vs Argentina, but it is possible that a repeat of the last final will happen again, this is possible even though it is not easy for them to get rid of the opposing country's team, because all teams also want to be able to appear in the final.
but isn't there a surprise return made by Morocco ? there is always a chance for that and a very big chance it can happen because their motivation is currently in high performance.
of course this semifinal is highly anticipated and an extraordinary spectacle, don't miss it of course.

[Josefjix]

England eliminated from the world cup with France beating them 2-1 in the regular game time. It's really frustrating to see Harry Kane missed the second penalty and I'm just waking up this morning to see Ivan Toney trending on Twitter due to his consistency in taking penalties. He have  20 penalties which he have taken for Brentford. Gareth Southgate choosing Wilson and Kane over Toney is probably not a good decision for the England squad. We all know that Harry Kane is among the best strikers for England but he's not in the right place to suit in the pattern of the game which he would have been substituted in the second half. Ivan toney is the perfect man to take penalties, I don't call it luck but hardwork and consistency.

[Sebas.tian]

France finally made it to semi final by eliminated England 2-1 to achieved the victory from the match. It was a tough match but France players still proven to them that they have potential squads that are ready to lead the team to final because they will not allow any team to stop them at this period. England was given opportunity to equalize the goals but they missed the opportunity that made many people to concluded that France will be the one to embrace the victory which they did everything possible within their power to made the match ended up for their favour.

[TheGreatPython]

the pressure is so strong and we know how much pressure it is especially when faced with conditions 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper even we have seen before how many failed to score at the penalty spot before.
France's game was good and that is one of the facts, apart from failing or not kicking, it is actually very difficult to say as something that changed the result in my opinion because regardless of anything, England have also fought as hard as they could.

Without any doubt a big game with both teams were able to handle pressure but sadly England and their captain unable to convert their chances now they fail to bring France under pressure which helps them for having chance for to defend their title and another lost for the England even they were at their best and have quality players, but conversation on pressure games is also very important for the players now 32 teams are already out of the competition with just four top ranked teams are left with most chances now we will have real test of Croatia and France that can to carry on European Legacy for another title or teams from South America and Africa will take advantage and take honour for this year's event in Qatar.

Morocco's next victim could be France? Or will France's star players defeat the Moroccan team easily? What do you think?

Morocco was again able to make a surprise in the quarterfinal match against Portugal. Not many would have guessed, but the Atlas Lions Team from North Africa gave a new color to the world cup after a long European and American domination always colored the quarter-finals. As a dark horse team, now Morocco has successfully stepped into the semifinals and this is a glorious record in their history. The success of Hakimi and his friends in Qatar was also heavily influenced from a non-technical perspective, namely the atmosphere of the stadium which really helped multiply their motivation on the field.

When they face France in the semifinals later, of course Morocco will still play freely because they are not burdened with targets, because being able to reach the semifinals is extraordinary for them. But even though the Atlas Lions were able to subdue Spain and Portugal, I'm not sure they will be able to do the same with France.

Ronaldo should have started so he'll be useful as a distraction
I will place to the blame on Portugal Coach he messed up big time
Congratulations to Morroco, achieving this isn't easy it has been written in history that they are the first Africnas to get here

Morocco made a surprise when they qualified for the knockout round as group winners. Morocco impressive performance continued when they eliminated Spain and Portugal. Morocco success in advancing to the semifinals is a big history for them, apart from that Morocco also made a good record by keeping its net clean without being broken into by opposing players since the group stage.
The only goal that conceded was their own goal when they won 2-1 over Canada.

France is a big challenge for Morocco in the semifinals. France's strength cannot be compared to Spain and Portugal. Moroccan players must again build a strong defensive wall to withstand the onslaught of French players.

I commend the England team for putting up a brilliant performance against their France opponent, they are the better side with more ball possession and played well, they aggressively attack the France team which resulted to the two penalties, unfortunately Harry Kane missed the second penalty kick and were very unlucky because they deserve atleast a draw in that match, England did perfected their game plan to keep Mbappe on check and it worked, however it was Griezmann that provided the two assist of the France  goals, it was indeed a very competitive and entertaining match from the start to the end.

We watched great matches yesterday. Honestly, we have started to watch very good matches since we went to the final rounds of the tournament. I didn't think Morocco could beat Portugal, but they played very well and managed to beat Portugal. They got a red card and they were left with 10 players on the field. They did not give a position to Portugal even when they were 10 people. Everyone praises their defensive disciplines. They were definitely the team that marked the tournament.

It was bad for me that Ronaldo ended the tournament. A world star like him should have played at least in the final... :(

For the first time, Morocco reached the semi-finals of the World Cup as an African country. The country is floating in the joy of making this new history. Not only in Doha the colors of the Moroccan festival have also spread in Brussels-Tunis. After the history-making victory, the joy of the Moroccan players was unstoppable. Reacting to the win, midfielder Sofiane Boufal said, "We deserved it." We worked hard. It's not over yet. There are still semi-finals and if God wants, the final can also go under their control. But it is true that they have come to this position by a lot of passion. They lost to the world famous team Portugal in the quarter finals and will face France in the semi finals.
