After two incredible quarterfinals, France and Morocco are all set to lock horns in the second semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2022. The French team took down England in an enthralling 2-1 victory.
Morocco have beaten Belgium, Croatia, Spain and Portugal without conceding a goal. England have beaten Iran, Wales and Senegal, drawn with USA and lost to France. Yet England are the best performing team at the tournament? No.
I don’t think any team at #Qatar2022 has performed better than England over the 5 games.

Croatia/Italy games needed tactical changes to stop the pressure.
Last night at 1-1 Gareth needed to be braver with his changes & go for the win. #ENGFRA https://t.co/eCVKzVOkJc

Arsenal Player of the Year twice at 21, made Theo Hernández look very average tonight, and he gets better virtually every game.
The sky really is the limit for him, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer kid.
Paris police fired tear gas on the Champs Elysees as fans were celebrating victories by France and Morocco in the World Cup, sending them to the tournament’s semi-finals.
Thousands of supporters had filled the famous Parisian avenue soon after the match between Morocco and Portugal, chanting, waving flags and honking their horns amid large police deployment. More joined them after France's win against England.

Scenes from Paris last night.
Several officers injuries and are in hospitals; multiple cars burns and traffic lights destroyed, and several residents injured.
This is bad but nothing compared to what is to come. Should Morocco win or loss, they will ransack France. pic.twitter.com/I07ba8Wd6M
Full-back Theo Hernandez looked in pain in a few moments against England but played the entire game.
