Morocco writes World Cup history!
In reminiscing about the 2022 World Cup, it is without a doubt that people will remember the Atlas Lions impressive campaign. Despite losing the semi-finals from the hands of the reigning Champion France, the team still wrote a history that will never be forgotten, they are the first Arab and African team to reach the semi-final stage and had a real shot for the World Cup.
They will yet make another history by being the African and Arab nation to finish the FIFA World Cup campaign with a podium finish if they manage to shock and upset the experienced Croatia.
France – the first team to break the Champions curse!
Les Bleus’ World Cup 2022 campaign does not really look easy, they faced a lot of struggles especially in players availability and injury. The team loses key players like Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante, and the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema. So many expected that this team will likely fall from the Champions curse just like Spain and Germany experienced in previous World Cups. However, the French squad showed their dominance and Championship caliber by topping the group stage campaign. They are not done yet and they continued their streak by beating Poland in the last 16, narrowly edging England in the quarter-finals, and lastly needing Morocco’s impressive World Cup run in the semi-final, officially breaking the curse and having a real shot to have a back-to-back title.
France will test their World-class caliber against the hungry Argentina and Lionel Messi in the finals. You may visit us for all soccer live scores and news here!
Argentina and Messi keeping their promise alive!
The semi-final game of Albiceleste against Croatia and Luka Moric is considered the best performance so far in their World Cup 2022. Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez orchestrated and led Argentina to cruise past the tricky Croatia 3-0. It was spectacular and incredible for Argentina and Lionel Messi fans seeing their hero will have another real shot to take home and lift the World Cup trophy, the promise is still alive!
On this night also, Messi became the all-time goal scorer for Argentina and surpassed Gabriel Batutista in his 25th World Cup match. This 2022 World Cup is truly destined and designed for Messi to chase and complete his legendary career in the World of Football.
The end of Modric’s World Cup and the new beginning for Croatia!
The defeat really tormented the Croatians around the world, and mostly the players. They have the nearest and shots for second straight yet they failed to perform at their best in the crucial moment. Croatia almost made it in the 2018 World Cup, but France is more versatile and dominant at that time. Now, against Argentina, Croatia lost their composure and Argentina is far the better and worthy team in the finals. They are more hungry and determined to fulfill the prestigious dream, to become a World Champion. Sadly, this will probably be the final World Cup for Luka Modric, 27, who served Croatia for almost two decades, giving the squad an era that they will never forget — a success that put the nation on the map and an era full of aspirations and hope. This campaign will also serve as the new beginning for this team. They will have young and upcoming players ready to fulfill the positions that their veterans will leave and they are looking forward to building a new face of Croatian football and delivering it to the World.
