France vs. Morocco: How to Watch the World Cup Quarterfinal Live
The quarterfinal match features a rematch from the 2022 semifinals, with France taking on an impressive Morocco team. France secured their spot by narrowly defeating Paraguay 1-0 thanks to a penalty from Kylian Mbappé. This goal keeps Mbappé in contention for the Golden Boot, as he now has seven goals and two assists, competing with stars like Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi.
Morocco advanced after a strong second-half performance against Canada, highlighted by two goals from Azzedine Ounahi and a late winner from Soufiane Rahimi. On offense, France relies on Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise alongside Mbappé, while Morocco depends on key players such as Brahim Díaz, Youssef En-Nesyri, Noussair Mazraoui, and Achraf Hakimi to challenge the French squad.
