France vs Morocco

If Morocco can shackle France's Kylian Mbappe, it will be half the battle won. Advertisement. AFTER THE sweaty victory against England, the French ...

A big part of it would be to contain Mbappe, make him settle for bad numbers (by his standards) as he had against England and hope he heaves the ball into the distance rather than to the back of the net. Their prime focus was not on Kovacic and Modric, but Brozovic, to prevent him from enjoying too many touches in the midfield, to deny him the opportunity to carry the ball upfield. The first line of defence started with Youssef En-Nesyri, behind him were Azzedine Ounahi and Selim Amallah, tightly holding onto Modric and Kovacic. Almost all of the front five could play-make as well as score; even the defensive midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni could; so could Theo Hernandez, and Rafael Varane. The latter has clocked 35 kmph, the former 35.3 kmph, and together form the fastest pair in this World Cup. Then, as they strolled back to the tunnel, a football bounced onto the turf and fell in the path of Kylian Mbappe. They constricted the hat-trick hero Goncalo Ramos, the most direct of goal-scoring threats, like a python would its prey. There are multiple layers that make the game intriguing and fascinating. Among the four survivors, France has scored the most number of goals (11). Even the usually deadpan-faced Deschamps broke into peals of laughter. The numbers were put forth to manager Didier Deschamps. But so wayward was the strike that it blew somewhere into the distant stands.

France and Morocco meet in the second semifinal of the 2022 World Cup on Dec. 14. Here's what you need to know about the match.

Winning the 2018 World Cup made him the third man to win the World Cup as both a player and a manager. He has taken Morocco further than anyone imagined at this World Cup and thinks the team can still give more. It has averaged 32% possession in its five World Cup matches, the second-lowest of any team. This strategy has worked due to its near-impenetrable defense and the ability to counter-attack at pace with the dribbling skills of wingers Hakim Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal. It was effective against England and a similar approach worked at the World Cup in Russia four years ago. It showed this against England, which had 58% possession and twice as many shots as the World Cup holder. Changing the players has not changed the script – Morocco’s defense is very hard to break. The defense has also had to adapt. For a confidence boost, Hakimi should look no further than Mbappé, who described the Moroccan as the “best RB (right-back) in the world” in a January [tweet](https://twitter.com/KMbappe/status/1486074687838949379). Reigning champion France is aiming to become the first country to win back-to-back men’s World Cups since Brazil in 1958 and 1962. It is the outsider for this match but remains unbeaten, having secured against-the-odds wins over Spain and Portugal in the knockout stage.

It’s not a surprise now because we’ve seen them put in a number of top performances. “We can be satisfied with what we’ve done so far, even though we want to go further. “It’s a historic achievement. “It’s fantastic what [coach Walid Regragui] has achieved,” he added. Once again, Morocco are unlikely to have most of the ball, so the combativeness of players like Azzedine Ounahi and Amrabat in midfield could be key, particularly with Griezmann so influential in his new midfield position. We lost Amine [Harit], [Imran] Louza, [Adam] Masina… “Morocco have played and beaten some of the best teams in the world, and that’s down to the players, the coach, the staff. “We’ve got to the semis, closer to the final, and this was an important achievement, so we can believe in ourselves, but we have a big game on Wednesday,” he said.

Meanwhile, Morocco are chasing more history for the continent of Africa. They are the first African side in World Cup history to reach the last four. Since 1998, they have reached football’s showpiece event on three occasions and will be targeting a fourth on Wednesday. After stopping Luis Enrique’s side from scoring throughout 120 minutes, the north Africans won 3-0 on penalties. Then came their toughest test and a game that should’ve probably been a semi-final or even the final, against England. Two wins from their opening two games saw them reach the knockouts with a game to spare before Deschamps’ second-string team were beaten by However, Walid Regragui revealed that none of his players are definitely ruled out for the semi-final. There are no real notable decisions for him to make as each of his players have done the jobs asked of them so far. Coverage will be shown on the BBC. Cesar Ramos has been confirmed as the match referee.

Les Bleus have not kept a single clean sheet at the tournament, and the defense looked very shaky in the quarterfinal against England. They also have won more tackles (104 to 98) and interceptions (51 to 49) and have conceded fewer shots outside the box (16 to 20).

FIFA World Cup 2022: France, after beating England 2-1, will meet Morocco that defeated Portugal 1-0.

On its path-breaking run to the last four of the World Cup, Morocco have knocked out one former colonial power, Spain, who ruled over a part of the country ...

When we play for Morocco, we are Moroccan,” Regragui, dubbed as the ‘Moroccan Guardiola’, said on the eve of the match. Hakimi and Mbappe have been exchanging pleasantries on social media ahead of this tie that has split the sporting allegiance of French-Moroccans. The colonial past is seen as one of the reasons for Morocco having a huge diaspora in France. Three members of this unit – coach Walid Regragui, captain Roman Saiss and Sofiane Boufal, one of their standout performers – were born in France. Compared to the North African country’s population of close to 38 million, roughly five million Moroccans have made France their home. In 2021, like many previous years, when the people of France voted for their favourite dish, they picked something that didn’t seem French enough – the humble couscous.

France and Morocco will face each other in the semifinal of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Here are the top five players to watch out for.

Morocco has a dual challenge to face in the semi-final as Mbappe and Giroud both are in superb form. Giroud in this tournament has scored 4 goals in 5 games and has supported Kylian Mbappe extremely well. Morocco’s strategy in this tournament has been to find a chance and then go back defensive, for France Varane has the ability to stop Morocco’s attack. Bounou with the gloves has been stunning in this World Cup. Varane in the backline has been exceptional. While in the other hand Moroccans have been unbeaten in the tournament.

Morocco plays France in the semi-finals of the Fifa World Cup today. What you may not know is that the two countries share a complex relationship; ...

In this way, “brain drain” is arguably one of the most pernicious outcomes of colonialism and a foremost neocolonial process. In doing so, it has attained a symbolic victory over the neocolonial process of “brain drain”. Yet, behind the heartwarming story of Guinean Paul Pogba scoring for France in the World Cup final, or Malian N’golo Kante running the French midfield, hides the story of how African nations failed to gain from the talents of their most talented players. The fact that all these players are playing for Morocco, instead of the countries they/their parents migrated to, is in itself a victory. With French education also came ideas of liberty and equality, both of which were missing in the seemingly peaceful and picturesque French colony. Conditions created under colonial rule as well as the world capitalist economy that continues to divide the world into a Global North and South on erstwhile colonial lines, are what drive migration across many ex-colonies. However, the contours of Morocco’s relationship with France in many ways reproduces old colonial hierarchies. Today, an estimated five million Moroccans live abroad, with the majority of the diaspora being located in Europe, especially in France. However, France did not touch the old cities of Morocco which were spiritual and cultural nerve centres for the population. The Atlas mountains run through its length, giving the Moroccan football team its moniker of “Atlas Lions.” However, today, the West’s (and perhaps the rest of the world’s) imagination of Morocco is intimately tied to its romantic depiction in the ageless classic “Casablanca”, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Between 1912 and 1956, most of modern day Morocco was [a French colony](https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/france-vs-morocco-colonial-history-makes-it-more-than-a-football-match-8323124/).

Here are three key battles that can happen in the France vs Morocco FIFA World Cup semifinal match at the Al Bayt Stadium.

Quick with his feet, Boufal possesses the ability to take on defenders and beat them. A hard tackler, he will surely be a hindrance for Griezmann, who might not be able to enjoy his free role in midfield. Hakimi is a pacy full-back, but he will be tested to his limits against Mbappe. Amrabat has made an astounding 41 recoveries till now, which is statistical proof of his tackling efficiency and his solidity in midfield. However, the Atlas Lions defied the odds and became the first African team to qualify for the semifinals in the tournament’s history. That means the PSG teammates will be in direct battles throughout the semifinal match.

FIFA World Cup 2022: The Atlas Lions have been on a giant-killing spree in this tournament, accounting for the exits of Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

The last time the two teams met was in a friendly game in 2007, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Meanwhile, defender Aguerd is a doubt for the France game after missing the quarterfinal win over Portugal with an adductor injury that he suffered against Spain in the last 16. This is an encouraging stat as the only two teams that have kept five clean sheets in a World Cup are Italy in 2006 and Spain in 2010. Coach Walid Regragui and his players have already won the hearts of the footballing world with their brave and relentless performances on the field. England's Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 54th minute to equalise Tchouaméni's fierce strike but missed a second opportunity from the spot to neutralise Giroud's header. At the other end is France, which has reached the semifinal after defeating fierce rival England 2-1 in the previous round.

Despite the deeply entrenched socio-political connections -- Morocco was a French protectorate just a century ago -- the two sides have barely played ...

In a friendly in 1998, Morocco prevailed over France in a penalty shootout. Their first meeting came in 1988 when France beat Morocco 2-1. In the second half, Samir Nasri gave France a 2-1 lead, but a late goal by Youssef Mokhtari forced the match to end in a 2-2 draw.

Al Jazeera's AI robot Kashef has crunched the numbers and has some predictions for today's game.

Should manager Walid Regragui’s side do so, they have a 31 percent chance of lifting the trophy against Argentina at Lusail Stadium on December 18. With 61 matches completed, Kashef has a 67 percent accuracy level. Prediction: Sizing up all the odds, Kashef has once again concluded that Morocco face an uphill battle.

France vs Morocco, FIFA World Cup: Here are the playing XI predictions, team news and injury concerns for the semifinal game.

Apart from the two defenders, forward Walid Cheddira will miss the match against France. Nayef Aguerd, another mainstay in the backline, is likely to not recover in time from his hamstring injury which made him sit the quarterfinal match out. The biggest omission from the Morocco lineup will be captain Romain Saiss.

[FIFA World Cup 2022 Prize Money: A Whopping amount for Lionel Messi, champions - check amount [ZeeBiz WebTeam](/authors/zeebiz-webteam-120) France penetrated the frugal Moroccan defence to score on either side of the break to romp into their second successive final on a 2-0 scoreline. Waits to be seen. But their bench strength is such that Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann or any another player for that matter steps up to the task, while Kylian Mbappe soaks up all the defensive threat from the opponents.

In the Qatar World Cup, Ramos oversaw three matches across the group stage and knockouts and issued seven yellow cards.

On Wednesday night, Ramos will be assisted by compatriots Alberto Morin and Miguel Hernandez, while Venezuelan Jesus Valenzuela will be the fourth official. Much to the dismay of Cristiano Ronaldo, he issued just one yellow card in that match which Uruguay won 2-1. Morocco defeated Belgium and Canada in the group stage, and 2010 champion Spain in the round of 16. Ramos’ first match, involving Denmark and Tunisia, ended in a draw, with him booking three players. France holds a 3-1 head-to-head edge over Morocco in five meetings, with their last meeting in 2007 ending in a 2-2 draw. France, which won its second World Cup title in Russia four years ago, started its title defence with wins over Australia and Denmark but lost to African side Tunisia 1-0.

As Morocco faces France in the World Cup semifinal, many players and fans of both diverse teams grapple with family tales of colonial history, challenges of ...

“And it’s an honor and a pleasure to face France. “I’m a dual national, and that’s an honor and a pleasure,” the Moroccan coach said. “Most of the Moroccan players who were born abroad chose Morocco as their national team because they feel they play for more than just to win a football match,” said Maher Mezahi, a Marseille-based Algerian journalist covering African football. Like Morocco’s supporters at home and an estimated 5 million scattered around Europe and beyond, many players grapple with family tales of colonial history, the challenges of immigration and questions of national loyalty. In Morocco, people have embraced the team's foreign-born players as their native sons. Young Moroccans, she said, “speak English instead of French, they buy more American products than French ones and even those who want to seek a better life abroad try to avoid France.”

TRENDING The teams met again in 1999 and 2000, when France beat Morocco 1-0 and 5-1, respectively. They first met in 1988 when France defeated Morocco 2-1. Its defence has been virtually watertight and has allowed only one goal against Canada in its last five matches so far. Besides, France forward Olivier Giroud is also convincing to turn the tables in the semifinals. On the other hand, world champion France has been treading successfully so far despite missing at least five of its key players. In another friendly match in 1998, Morocco roasted France in a penalty shootout. The Moroccans have beaten football heavyweights like Belgium, Spain, and Portugal on their way up to the final four. It is the first African country to reach the final lap of an international tournament as big as the FIFA World Cup. The Moroccans are living a World Cup fairytale like no other, have already become the most successful African team in World Cup history.
