The tough game between the National Team of Morocco and Portugal have just ended. It is clear that the game did not favor Portugal. In the end, at the final whistle, Morocco advanced to the Semi-Finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
This is a great football moment for Morocco. Currently, Morocco has become the first African country in the History of the FIFA world cup to reach the Semi-Final. In 2010, the Black Stars of Ghana were able to reach the Quarterfinals where they were kicked out of the tournament by Uruguay in Penalty Shootouts. That becomes the second time that an African team reaches the Quarterfinals of the FIFA world cup.
Morocco won by a goal which was scored in the 42nd minute of the game. Portugal struggled to score but all their efforts did not yield the needed results. Now, Portugal is out of the tournament just like the way the Netherlands was eliminated by Argentina in Penalty shootouts. Still in the Quarterfinals, the superstars of Brazil were also kicked out by Croatia in Penalty shootouts.
The game between Morocco and Portugal became the only Quarterfinal game so far that did not see the atmosphere of penalties.
Morocco doing exceedingly well in this World cup tournament. They have not conceded any goal as they advanced to the semi-finals of the world tournament. If this should persist, their goalkeeper will emerge as the best goalkeeper of the tournament.
Morocco is preparing to meet either France or England. The game between England and France is also going to be a tough one. However, the best team who utilizes its chances will win the game to play Morocco in the Semifinals.
It is a great History made by Morocco to reach the Semi-Finals for the first in the records of Africa. All African countries are proud and it will be a great joy if Morocco wins the trophy. A great moment and it is like a dream for Morocco to reach the finals.
The players are playing with passion. They are dedicated and moreover, their level of commitment and good defense line paved way for them to see the next level in World Cup History.
On the other vain, Argentina with Lionel Messi will be playing against Croatia with Luka Modric. That is going to be a very tough game. Last four years, Croatia reached the Finals where they were eliminated by France. Football is a game full of records and we are yet to record more historical events.
Can France; the defending Champions win the can again? Will Messi try to make World Cup History too? Will Morocco defy all odds to set a bigger record for Africans by winning the trophy?
