AL KHOR, Qatar — In terms of quality, it was not a game that will be remembered by many at all. France-Morocco at Al-Bayt stadium on Wednesday night didn’t reach the heights or drama many had hoped, despite the wonderful atmosphere created by the fans in red and green.


It was entertaining, for sure, but that was about it. The French players won’t care though; it was a game that had to be won, regardless of how. It was a semifinal of a big tournament and they know how to deal with that. France have won the last six they have played (1998, 2000, 2006, 2016, 2018, 2022) at the World Cup or Euros. Basically, when they are in the last four they always qualify for the final.

This years final will be a betting dream.
