[robertmac43]

When all this is said and done, got to think Amrabat get some looks form bigger clubs.

 

[Tryamw]

Another Almost Morocco

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Good riddance to the crowd whistling every time France had the ball.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Crying Moroccans isn't as fun as crying Brazilians

 

[Tryamw]

Another Almost at 90+4'

 

[robertmac43]

How on earth does that not go in?

 

[Peen]

Just that kind of game.’

 

[Oberyn Martell]

I mean this cant be real

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol who was that that got completely burned there?

 

[gary69]

Morocco just can't score from anywhere, unbelievable.

 

[Panteras]

Morocco just can't score from anywhere, unbelievable.

Terrible finishing and touches as always been what has plagued African teams from taking the next step. Morocco made it this far thanks to incredible organized defense.

 

[robertmac43]

What a run for Morocco. Inspired the world.

 

[Oberyn Martell]

Mbappe?

If France wins maybe though Griezmann clearly is the MVP of this team but they will probably give it to Messi like in 2014

 

[sansabri]

great game. unfortunate result

 

[luiginb]

Abde has such a strange stride, he runs like he has a hump and a bad leg, but maybe that's why it's almost impossible to get the ball off of him. Problem is he never does anything useful with the ball afterwards.

 

[Power Man]

The fact that France is back to the final as the defending champs is impressive

Look at all the defending champs who flamed out in group stage since 2002 (except 2006 Brazil who lost in the knockout)

 

[Scandale du Jour]

France vs Argentina should be a banger.

 

[gary69]

What a run for Morocco. Inspired the world.

Just hoping for no deaths/serious injuries and moderate material damage from Morocco "fans" in France tonight, but I'm afraid being seriously wrong.

 

[cgf]

Congrats @Evilo

You guys have scored some pretty goals at this tourney.

Should be a good final

I don’t understand how you can watch the same games and say Greizmann is “clearly” the MVP of that team over Mbappe lol

 

[luiginb]

Theo MOTM for me, scored that goal that allowed France to have this professional victory, but defensively is where he did his best work, going alone (Mbappe doesn't defend) against Morocco's best offensive weapons in Hakimi and Ziyech. He was dribbled a couple of times by them but always came back and no dangerous chances for Morocco came from his side of the field.

Both have been great but Griezmann has overall had more of an impact on the matches. Covers a lot of ground defensively too.

He did well considering that defence is the weakest part of his abilities. Just like often for Milan for the past few years, his offensive contribution has far outweighted his occasional costly defensive mistakes.

That’s fair, that’s a valuable player, but if it wasn’t for Mbappe, France would not be in the finals.
