France face Morocco in the second semi-final fixture of the 2022 World Cup at the Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar on Wednesday. The winner of the tie will take on the winner of the other semi final between Argentina and Croatia in the much anticipated final.
Harry Kane missed a late penalty opportunity as France beat England in the quarter-final to book their spot in the last four. Aurelien Tchouameni and Olivier Giroud netted the goals in what turned out to be an exciting game between two evenly-matched teams.
The defending champions will be up against the first African nation to reach this stage of the World Cup. Achraf Hakimi and co. have already written their names into the history books. They're living the dream and their journey so far has been nothing short of inspiring and exceptional.
