Argentina are in the finals and they will face the winners of France vs Morocco semifinal clash at the Fifa World Cup 2022. Much like Argentina vs Croatia match, the second semifinal promises a lot of action when the reigning world champions France take on first-time semifinalists Morocco Al Bayt Stadium — Al Khor, Qatar, on Wednesday.
France is one of the favorites to win the World Cup this time around, after defeating arch-rivals England 2-1 in the quarterfinals but Morocco is the team that has been delivering upsets right from the beginning of the tournament. Here’s how to watch France vs Morocco 2022 World Cup semifinal live.
Stars vs Minnows
When Morocco meets France in the semifinal, they will give another shot at dragging yet another soccer superpower to its knees after humiliating Belgium, Portugal, and Spain in Qatar. Morocco was ruled by France from 1912 to 1956, so Wednesday’s game has cultural and political ramifications.
The result is also far from the foregone decision that many would assume by glancing at the player names and team rankings. Morocco, the first African team to advance to the World Cup semifinals, will have roaring crowd support at the Al Bayt Stadium, and it will need every bit of it to defeat the defending champion and continue its incredible run.
The North Africans have been riding the tide of support throughout the competition, with spectators encouraging players to keep going as they gave everything they had in every game.
However, France are a clear favorite. The star-studded England team was quite comfortably defeated by Didier Deschamps’ team in the quarterfinal, and they now appear to be the team to beat.
The defending champions have done pretty well in the competition thus far despite suffering from a number of injuries. Defenses have been terrorized by Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe is actually the leading candidate for the Golden Boot with five goals so far in the competition, although now Lionel Messi has also an equal number of goals to his credit in the tournament. Additionally, Les Bleus’ outstanding goal against England by Aurélien Tchouaméni from outside the box demonstrated their unmatched quality.
However, it remains to be seen, though, if Morocco has enough resources to pull off an even greater upset.
Here’s how to watch the all-important France vs Morocco 2022 FIFA World Cup Semifinal live.
