LOL.. when I first saw this thread, not even in my wildest dreams I imagined that it will stay alive up to the very end of the competition. To be fair, I wasn't expecting any of the African teams to progress from the group stage. And now we have Morocco who will play tomorrow against Croatia for the 3rd place. And it is going to benefit them financially as well. If they end up with the 3rd price, they will receive $27 million. Even in case they lose, there is no need to get disappointed. The fourth placed team will be getting $25 million from the FIFA.

African teams have always been underrated because of their inability to lift the world cup trophy so it's not a new thing if no one expected the African teams to get to this point. I was expecting Senegal and Ghane to get to the knockout stage but the injury of Mane deter a lot of fans including me who were expecting a good performance from Senegal here we are today celebrating the progress of Morocco who did not just make it to the knock out stage but went ahead to reach the semifinals with a brilliant display in the field of play.
The possibility of Morocco winning against the Croatian team tomorrow is high because following their performance in the competition I don't see Croatia who was poor in performance against Argentina defeating them but even though they lose tomorrow the money is nothing to be compared with the honor and pride they have given Africa but I believe Morocco will win tomorrow against Croatia.

I think the African nations are getting better and improving immensely. In the old days it was even more difficult to get this far in a world cup competition but now things are a lot better. I think there is hope for a better future for the African nations. Senegal, Ghana and now Morocco have shown that it is possible, hopefully Nigeria will be part of this list in the near future. I hope Morocco can make history against Croatia tomorrow, it will be so exciting to witness Morocco finish 2nd runner up in the 2022 world cup.

Senegal team was considered as the only strong team in Africa in this World Cup. Had Sadio Mane not been injured, we might have seen a better performance from Senegal. Even then, Senegal performed well enough without Sadio Mane.
Morocco's performance in this World Cup has surprised everyone. No one expected Morocco to qualify for the semi-finals. Their gameplay and team work is amazing. I think Morocco has a chance to win today's match against Croatia. But there is no doubt that the match will be competitive.
