    I see no reason they can't, injuries permitting

    If France defend as wrecklessly as they did tonight I don’t see why not.

    Never ever thought that would be a thread title.

    Why can't Morocco beat the French. Seen off Portugal and Spain in recent games.

    Only Uruguay & Brazil have won back to back World Cups .

    Good luck to the Moroccan's on Wednesday , I'd be surprised if the Wolves defender is available .

    I think injuries and fitness will be their biggest challenge. I'd love to see them do it, and fully manned (and fully fit) I think they're organised enough to. I haven't seen their run thus far to be the massive shock others have described it to be, but I do think they've been stripped a bit bare to be comfortable.

    I think they can do it. France seem to like playing on the counter-attack themselves, but won't be able to and there won't be a lot of room behind Morocco's defence. France caused so many problems for themselves today, could have given away three penalties and Morocco look a threat going forward.

    France may well find a way again, but I really like Morocco's chances and would love them to win this one.

    If Argentina go through, I'd rather they play France.

    We'll never hear the end of it if Messi wins the World Cup.

    Would be classic France to shithouse a win against us then lose to Morocco with a whimper.

    Hope they do though. A Morocco v Argentina final would be fun and would undoubtedly provide the best atmosphere.

    It'll be an interesting game. I'm quite interested to see how far Morocco's defence / organisation can carry them.

    Kind of envious. Hate watching Spurs but nice to actually watch a defensive team be able to defend. I've had to put with Mourinho / Conte football and not even be fully confident we're capable of keeping a clean sheet!
