A step further it was when it all ended in a 2-0 defeat against the Moroccan team. The only African team breaking through the glass ceiling of quarter final stage for previous qualifying African teams

The Atlas Lions faced their first ever defeat in the ’22 World Cup when the France team cut short the dream of making it to the finals with two goals. France advances to the World Cup finals for the second time in a row thanks to goals from Kolo Muani in the 79th minute and Theo Hernandez in the opening five minutes following a goalmouth scramble.

The Moroccan team will play Croatia for third place on Saturday, December 17th, at 3 p.m. If all goes well, the African dream will be realised in 2026 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.


Will France have a back-to-back World Cup win after the 1998 lift, or will Argentina have a third cup since its 1978 and 1986 win? Both teams battle it out on Sunday, December 18th, at 3 p.m. to draw the curtains on the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022.
