France is just too good. Morocco had a great run. They beat Spain and Portugal. While France beat them 2-0, it was a hard fought match and Morocco had a lot of good looks at the goal. Last few minutes were crazy. Never give up.

France v. Argentina will be a final for the ages.
It will be nice to have two teams that actually have some bite on the offensive side of the field playing. Watching these games where everyone sits back and tries for a tie is painful. I'll be pulling for la pulga atomica to get his first world cup victory.
Kylian Mbappé was born in France, how is he not French? Even if her wasn't and immigrated he could be eligible even as a non citizen after a certain amount of years but that isn't the case. He is as French as you can possibly get by being a naturally born citizen that grew up in France.
It’s almost as if people realize there is more to the sport than just the World Cup.
Besides, I thought they were going to get beaten home by the Dutch?
The world cup is the highest level of competition with the most pressure. Greatest players rise up to the occasion at the highest level of the game. Also Maradona winning league titles at Napoli was much more impressive since it wasn't a team full of superstars. Messi wouldn't have won anything with that Napoli team or the Argentina team that Maradona won with.
This is not true. It is the biggest stage but it is not the highest level of competition. National team soccer will never be a higher level than club soccer because not only do you get to concentrate the best players from multiple countries together on one team but they have way more time working together to become a more cohesive unit.
You're not French by being an African born in France. You actually have to be French to be called French. Aside from backwards libs, billions on this planet call him the French African

Winning side takes home $42M. What pro league has that sort of payout?
Italy got $36.3M for winning Euro 2020 last summer, England $32M. The big dough is in the tournaments, not league play.
Why would you think players at this level require weeks or months playing together to become "cohesive?"

Between 22 players that's what, 1.5 million each? Probably less. Ronaldo gets 100 million per year

Here's the truth : human beings have moved all around the planet for milleniums, so with your logic, what makes somebody have a nationality at all?
Between 22 players that's what, 1.5 million each? Probably less. Ronaldo gets 100 million per year
At the moment, Ronaldo is making zilch and may very well retire.
If the WC is so non-competitive and un-high pressure, why does it pay out so much $?
Come on, Truth Boi, explain to us how it all works.
What the, Ronaldo is making millions now and the foreseeable future. WC had players making 10,000 per game. Chump change. Please. Read and learn. Only the winning team gets 42mm

Even without playing Ronaldo is making millions from endorsements, investments, and the CR7 product line. He doesn't need a pro contract from a club to make money.
The winning team of the champions league would beat the World Cup team more often than not.
