France vs Morocco — The 2022 Semifinal Rematch, Now With a Quarterfina

[WIZ001]

This is the one everyone circled. France and Morocco meet again at the World Cup, four years after Les Bleus ended the Atlas Lions' historic run with a 2-0 win in the 2022 semifinal.This time it's a quarterfinal, at Boston Stadium, and Morocco arrive without their sharpest attacking weapon.
Ismael Saibari has been ruled out, with Morocco's head coach saying he's "not ready today, too early" and hoping he'll be back for the next round. That's a serious blow — Saibari scored in all three of Morocco's group games and converted the winning penalty in the shootout over the Netherlands in the Round of 32. 
France go in as tournament favorites,  backed by a squad full of star power — Mbappé, olise, Doué — while Morocco lean on the tournament story they've built: a diaspora-heavy squad playing some of the most entertaining football of the World Cup.
