In one of the biggest storylines of Qatar 2022, the unfancied Moroccans created history becoming the first ever African team to make it to the WC semi finals through a Youssef En-Nesyri goal v Portugal. Carrying the hopes of an entire continent, can they go one further when they take on France in a couple days time? Speaking of the French - though pressured with one of the best England performances in recent times, Les Bleus dispatched the Three Lions in a nervy 2-1 victory. In the other side of the bracket, Argentina & Lionel Messi march on to the semis keeping the G.O.A.T fairytale alive with an equally nervy penalty shootout against the Dutch, while Croatia stun Brazil taking the last spot in the final four. All that reviewed and more right here on the World Cup edition of Just For Kicks.
