Defending champions of the FIFA World Cup France would be crossing swords with underdogs Morocco in the semi-finals of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Even though there is a gulf between the two sides, in a knockout game the odds are always 50-50.
Morocco scripted history when they beat Portugal 1-0 in the quarter finals as they became the first African nation to reach the final four of the world’s biggest footballing extravaganza. And they do have a chance of reaching to the finals.
France on the other hand, have looked like an absolute juggernaut in the tournament. They have been playing a dominant brand of football and the likes of Oliver Giroud and Kylian Mbappe have performed well.
They defeated England 2-1 in their quarter final game. Aurelien Tchouameni and Oliver Giroud netted the goals for them.
