With a strong defense of their title under their belts, France is aiming for back-to-back World Cup victories. After easily defeating Poland in the tournament’s round of 16, Les Blues faced England in the quarterfinals and prevailed 2-1 with goals from Aurelien Tchouameni and Olivier Giroud.
Morocco, on the other hand, has so far been the heartwarming tale of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the African team shocked everyone by reaching the championship round. Their most recent victory in the competition came last Saturday when they defeated Portugal 1-0 thanks to a goal from Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri just before halftime.
Morocco, meanwhile, has been the feel-good story of the 2022 FIFA World Cup so far, with the African side defying expectations to make it to the final four of the competition. Their most recent conquest in the tournament came last weekend when they beat Portugal 1-0, with Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri scoring the sole goal of the game just before the interval.
We are nearing the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and the semi-final match is upon us. The tournament has been incredibly exciting, with many records being set by both players and teams for the first time in history.
