Morocco have fought well but that should be the game.Brilliant by Mbappe.
And that is that
At this point Morocco should just be chipping it over the defense and hoping for the best.
I was on Wikipedia looking up more info on Randal Kolo Muani, the player who scored France’s second goal, and I learned the following:
The Moroccans still don’t give up. Commendable. And nice to watch.
Yikes. Morocco coming that close. One thing about France, they don’t waste opportunities.
You can’t say Morocco wasn’t in the fight.
Morocco fought bravely till the end but the French were just too good especially inside the box.
Morocco were definitely more impressive than Croatia in their semi and I hope they can finish 3rd and end their campaign on a high note.
Well, the French prevent the advance of the Moroccans. This is not a repeat from 732.

Sacre Charlemagne!
(Qui avait cette idee folle?)
So Kylian Mbappe is a pretty decent player.
He also morphed into a Super Saiyan.
The betting lines started out set with France being a marginal favorite, which I think is a fair assessment.
538 has Argentina as slight favorites. I have to agree with the France assessment though. Messi might be the only player on Argentina that would start for France?
That’s nonsense, of course.
This has the makings of a classic final. Can Messi finally bring it home for Argentina? Will Mbappe come through for France and put himself right there next to Pele? Can Giroud finally get a shot back on goal?
I still think France is going to pull it out. It just isn’t in the cards for Messi. Like CR7, he’ll go out as one of the greats that never won the big enchilada. I’ll be more than happy to eat my words though, as I’d like to see the little guy have the glory.
Whistling annoys me even more than those vuvuzuelas of yore did.
Save of the tournament? Lloris off that bicycle kick? (had it gone in, would’ve rivalled Richarlson’s goal against Serbia) Also Ounahi tested him to his lower left, earlier)
Even though he was on the losing side, defender Achraf Dari might have been the luckiest player on the pitch for not getting cautioned on at least two blatant occasions. Sure, moot, but might’ve been a factor had there been a different result.
I thought Griezmann was soild.
Alavez probably starts over Giroud.
As a CB!
Maybe? That’s basically a style question. Target guy vs pressing. But either way France are better at most positions.
That being said, France have been vulnerable. Should be a good one.
