France vs Morocco Semi-Final Match

With this win, France, which is the defending champion now faces Argentina in Sunday’s final of the global tournament.

France remained on course to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to retain the world title and will now meet Lionel Messi and Argentina in Sunday’s final.

Wednesday’s defeat suffered by Morocco means they will now play Croatia in the third-place game Saturday.

The Moroccan side had earlier upset European soccer powers Spain and Portugal to become the first African nation and first Arab nation to reach the World Cup’s final four.
