I have no doubts about Morocco's capabilities. This team played well against Brazil and netherlands. They have the ability to perform  well against France as well. The match will surely be enjoyable.

The Moroccan team is very tactical. And if france makes any mistake in this match  then they will not win the  match. France will have to play very carefully. There is no doubt that france's attack is strong. Their defenders  will also have to perform very  carefully. If the defenders  make any mistakes, morocco will take advantage of  this opportunity.

I believe that France will be playing the toughest opponent in this world cup so far in this this game. Looking at the tournament from the beginning Morocco has been one of the most consistent teams and has shown a high level of consistency in terms of their performance. I don't doubt the abilities of Morocco in this game, France definitely knows that they will be coming up against a side that is discipline and at the same time tactically sound with a good understanding of the game. This will be very decisive because the semi final is up for grabs and these two teams has the chance of making it to the semi finals back to back with a win tonight. It will definitely good for Morocco if they can maintain thesame form that they have been playing from the beginning of the competition.

You have the right to skip some of Morrocco btu no me as a Morroccan !


About who will win ... i don t know ... no body does ... it s foootball suspence ....


I hope Morrocco will

Are you from Morocco? It's great to have you around here.

I am solidly behind Morocco because they are Africans. Football is unpredictable which means you shouldn't underrate any side.

It's sad to know that Ismael Saibari wouldn't be available for today's match because of a hamstring injury he sustained in that game against Canada. The team has good replacements such as Soufiane Rahimi, who will cover for the injured player.

Asides being Africans, I enjoy the way they play, their confidence and midfield dominance, I know they're good but they’ve done more than I expected and I won't be suprised if they win France. I really want them to do that at all cost knowing that it won't be easy cause France is one of the strongest country in the competition.
 They've survived without him in their last match so they're still good to go without him, although his presence matters cause he would've added more strength to the team. I love the French team cause of several players I fancy their game play but I'm team Morocco today.

[Ndabagi01]

At this juncture, I would rather prefer to support Morocco win because of their consistency determination to get to this stage and even beyond in this world cup, France has always been good and known for their high performance when it's comes to football play like this, I wish Morocco have this winning as a reward the compensate the app performance indeed because France may not also take it likely with them, but we can't see who is going to win for now until we see the end of their match all together.

France dominant in the competition has been rated so highly well that people don’t see Morocco haven a chance against them in this game, they believe that France will dominate them and win the game easily. Morocco is a team that I feel can actually put up the pressure in this game, they can ultimately destabilize the France team and may even eliminate them from the tournament.

They both stand a very good chance to make it to the next round of the tournament and if they’re able to eliminate France, I doubt any team can stop them again until they reach the finals of the tournament. All Africans are now rooting for them as they are the only African team left in the World Cup just like the last time, I just hope they scape through tonight, but I know that it is not going to be an easy one for them, they’ll have to play harder and try harder to see themselves pass through this round successfully.

I think after the first match, Morocco has not loss any match and they have been drawing and winning. But this game will be a different game entirely for them and they will play harder but France will win the match because their standing squad is gallant and it is not easy to win them. Morocco has a good defend too. My bet is on France.

Morocco surprised everyone by  sharing points with Brazil in the first match. This was a completely unexpected result. Secondly, they  defeated the giant Netherlands in the round of 32 . None of us were prepared for this result either. Morocco's victory against canada was expected. But today Morocco  is going to face the strongest team of the world cup. France has won all the matches and their dominance was evident. I am  sure that today's match will not be  one-sided. Morocco will try their best to win. But their chances of winning are a little low.

FIFA World Cup 2026 is on and we are watching the World cup actively . France national football team is favorite to win this match because their players are in excellent form and they are in the knock out stage and which team will win that team will qualify for the semi final. France national football team have won back to back 5 matches which is good for them but that is looking 100 percent performance by that team and players have to play well in this match And have to make their defense strong to win this match.Morocco national football team will try to win this match because every team is ready to win this World Cup and they made their preparation.

You are right, for Morocco to be the only Africa club that is standing in the FIFA world cup tournament show that they are well prepared, because they have drop many clubs to reach this stage to face France in their next game. This game is going to be a tough game between France and Morocco, because France has potential players than Morocco but Morocco have experience coach which is the Pilar that is making Morocco to be stronger in this FIFA world cup tournament.

I have confidence on Morocco today, because they will develop those strength they developed to eliminated those clubs to reach where they are today, because they are the only Africa club that is standing in the FIFA world cup to make people of Africa proud by winning this game to night to move to another next level.

This will not only make Africans proud, but it will also make the whole world proud and surprise the whole world. Until the last World Cup, European teams dominated the most. They have talented players, experienced coaches and a special ability to withstand pressure by participating in big competitions. But African teams did not have all those advantages. But in this World Cup, African teams have shown in every performance that they really know how to play well. They lost, but African teams have made a place in the hearts of fans.

Every team that has reached this stage of the quarter-finals is as strong as they should be. Today's match between Morocco and France will be very exciting. Even if Morocco loses today, it will remain in the hearts of fans forever. No one is inferior to anyone in terms of strength, attack and defense.

Seeing how the Moroccan teams have played in this competition, it is very clear that they’re also one of the favourites for this World Cup. They’re facing a bigger team and I feel they will not have it easy today to make it through to the semifinals of the competition. France is a very dominant team and I think they will do all they can to actually pass this stage without any hassle to keep them out of the competition when they most need it now to go ahead in the competition. Any team that gets to win today won’t be a surprise to me because they’ve bought shown the best of performances since the beginning of the World Cup and that helped them to make it this far in the competition. I am also in support of Morocco today but in the end of the game, the better or luckier team gets to win.

Morocco is stronger than any other team in Africa, their organized defense, team discipline is very strong. They give very little space to the opponent and quickly counterattack when they get the chance. That is why they have come this far. But one thing to remember is that France was the runner-up last time and unfortunately they lost to Argentina in the final in Tribreaker. So today they are playing against the strongest team that Morocco has played so far. So Morocco will have to think about this very carefully and then enter the field. If Morocco cannot stop the opponent's dynamic attacks and individual talented players, then it will be very difficult for them to win this match. I think this match can go to a tiebreaker.

Most fans and even Morocco coach is so positive in this game tonight less than an hour to the kick off of the match, but one thing we should know that Morocco is going against France without one of the team biggest striker Ismael Saibari, who is down with injury  but even for that the coach assured that Morocco is putting out their best foot in this match which has shown the depth of the Morocco side readiness to make it to the semi finals, but if I am to bet I will definitely choose both team to score because I am sure that we are going to see multiple goals in the match

Morocco was never the favorites to win this world cup, just that among all the African teams it is always Morocco that advances more than any African team. Today will be a test of Morocco's strength since they are meeting France who is one of the World cup favorites, if Morocco wins then we can put them as one of the Favorites to win the world cup but until then we can't include them. When i look at the squad depth of France, it makes me doubt if Morocco can stand a chance because the combination of Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele is too dangerous to ignore. A lot of players staked France to win while few others staked Morocco to win, i learnt that Davido staked 21 million naira for Morocco to win but if i were him, i would rather bet Morocco to qualify instead of giving them a direct win because they can play fulltime draw, play extra time and enter into penalty shootouts and eliminate France since Moroccan players are very reliable when it comes to penalty shootouts.

[Egii Nna]

Morocco up against France is not going to be easy for both teams,  it's a game that one team will be eliminated so they will try to be careful not to concede goals and looking at the squad depth of France they appear more dangerous than the squad of Morocco because of notable big names in the team but lately there has been dramas in the world cup and the teams you expected to win comfortable 2ill be defeated by the team with the lesser chance of winning. Whatever Morocco claim to be has nothing to affect them in the game and since there has been complains since the game between Argentina and Egypt ended FIFA will try not to be baised in this particular game.

I think after the first match, Morocco has not loss any match and they have been drawing and winning. But this game will be a different game entirely for them and they will play harder but France will win the match because their standing squad is gallant and it is not easy to win them. Morocco has a good defend too. My bet is on France.

Everyone will want France to win tonight's game, though they will struggle somehow. In a game like this, small details can decide the match entirely. Especially if Morocco scores a goal against France, they will want to defend well. A little mistake in defense, or tackles in the penalty box that result in a penalty, can decide the game. I know France can win tonight's game, but it's going to be tough.

[Taricoins]

France v Morocco
Any moment from now, Morocco will get to face France again after there last 2-0 lose to them. It's not going to be an easy road for them as if they win, they will still get to face Spain in the Semi-finals.

I know alot of people don't expect much from Morocco but there is still a chance for them to win and that can only come by disrupting Olise and Mbappe duo all the while leaving Doue for Hakimi to handle.

Best luck is if they manage to get a goal or even two goals advantage, it would be a sure win for them as Morocco's mentality is better than that of Egypt

[KingsDen]

I went through the African countries performance in the 2022 World cup, and I found out that it was only Morocco that had a great performance by reaching the semi final. Surprisingly, Morocco is still the only country representing Africa again, this is concerning. In this 2026 world cup edition, It is undeniable that the African countries performed very well in the world cup, countries like Cabo Verde, Senegal and Egypt performed well I think. I was very much disappointed in Senegal especially, after surviving the group stages, they were lucky to go two goals up in their R32 game against Belgium, unfortunately Belgium came back and beat them.

Other African countries should be more confident under pressure just like Morocco, because 2 in 3 of the African countries that were knocked out in K/O stages were two goals up, but because they couldn't handle pressure, they lost bitterly, this is the major problem other teams in Africa are having. We were expecting more than one African country to be in the quarter finals today, but they all failed. African should adapt to Morocco style of play when they are on the global stage, then we might see some improvement.

Not anymore... They're down by 2 goals from Mbappe and Dembele. Time is ticking fast, although there are still 17 mins of active play, but I doubt Morocco would come back in this game. If it ends this way, then France has eliminated Morocco from the world cup for the second time consecutively, first was in semi final clash in 2022, now about to be in quarter finals.

Unfortunately this time around, it is France that has scored 2 goals in 6 minutes in the second half of play, and it's not looking like Morocco are going to reply these two goals. If at this point Morocco comes back home, then i will say the African teams that came for this World cup have not been impressive, out of 9 teams and none was able to reach The quarter finals or semifinals.
From the starting of the second half in this encounter, Morocco did presented some good attacking mechanism, but that individual brilliance that France have has givy them a better advantage.

Holy fuck... Morocco is out with a 2 goal difference against France, this means African teams are totally out of the competition, France would compete against the winner between Switzerland and Belgium. This is heartbreaking for both Morocco and Africa as a whole. France has perfectly continued from where they stopped with Morocco in the last world cup with same results. Better luck to Morocco in 2030, it's a wrap for them in this competition.

I have no doubts about Morocco's capabilities. This team played well against Brazil and netherlands. They have the ability to perform  well against France as well. The match will surely be enjoyable.

The Moroccan team is very tactical. And if france makes any mistake in this match  then they will not win the  match. France will have to play very carefully. There is no doubt that france's attack is strong. Their defenders  will also have to perform very  carefully. If the defenders  make any mistakes, morocco will take advantage of  this opportunity.

Morocco decided to accept support from other African nations thinking they can stand to win France. France has just eliminated Morocco which is what we want to see in this world cup. The African teams have disgraced us. Morocco had the hope of defeating France but hope alone is not enough to seal a win. If Morocco had met Argentina before France I have this belief they will beat Argentina.

And that is it the African champions have been eliminated by the French side and that is that for Africans in this World Cup, means we won’t have our first African nation to win the World Cup in this edition. Seriously the Moroccans actually played very well except the lack of chances created they actually matches the French side on every metrics possible, it was another disappointment from African teams but there are positives to take from this game.

I think Morocco didn’t stood actually if they were actually playing against another team it would have been more understandable but against an attack as solid as Mbappe, Dembele and Olise it’s hard to defend against them even when Morocco did that perfectly and were not penetrative the brilliance of strikes from Mbappe and dembele humbles them.

Did it come as a surprise, any team facing France don't put too much hope on them, France are dominating the World Cup, It's been looking good for them since the start of the World Cup, and they've taken this commitment through every stage of the tournament, this is not a surprise victory for me, although since it's a final, I expected Morocco to at least secure a goal before the final whistle.

In my estimation, Morocco being out is my not heartbreaking for Africa.
They represented themselves and their country very well. They did their best and I am super happy with their performance in this World Cup match. They keep getting better.
Having said this, I am predicting that we are going to see a France vs Belgium match and then a France versus
Argentina finals
