BOSTON: When Morocco left Qatar in 2022, they did so as heroes, having become the first African and Arab side to reach a World Cup semifinal. Four years later in the US, this time in the quarterfinals, they have lost to France 2-0 once again.
FOXBOROUGH: Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi promised that his team will bounce back from their World Cup quarter-final exit against France on Thursday and keep building as they prepare to co-host the next tournament in 2030. The Atlas Lions were hoping to at least match their historic run to the semifinals in Qatar in 2022, but once again their World Cup hopes were ended by Les Bleus. The 2-0 defeat at the Gillette Stadium near Boston was a repeat of the scoreline when the sides met in the semis four years ago, and Morocco must now turn their attentions toward future challenges after a draining last seven months. “France are a really great side.
FOXBOROUGH: France captain Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty but curled in a superb goal on the hour as his side struck twice in six minutes to brush aside Morocco 2-0 on Thursday (Jul 9) and book their spot in the World Cup semi-finals.
Kylian Mbappé spread his arms out wide and spun around after scoring his eighth goal of this year's World Cup. He later gave the jubilant France fans dotted around the stadium a wave when he left the game because of an injury scare.
Kylian Mbappé has downplayed concerns over what he described as a «knock on his ankle» during France's 2-0 World Cup quarterfinal win over Morocco on Thursday in Foxborough, Massachusetts, saying, «I'm all good.»
