5 4 3 2 1 in Just 4 days time the world champions will be crowned the yearning for the masterly Messi to finally claim the prize is strong but others have their dreams and their histories to write the pages of their own extraordinary chapters to fill well they certainly do I think for did Des the French coach he would be looking for the same sort of start as they gave against England played with a lot of authority in that first 15 minutes got their lead and really had to Slug It Out and get over the line as for Morocco can they frighten the world champions in these early exchanges well the atmosphere is certainly potentially frightening andek at the moment lining up on what appears to be the left of a back three saing a middle of left footer yika right footer playing on the left but sa influences key this is Amat and he epitomizes that ever burning desire that Morocco have demonstrated and had to show every step of the way to this semi-final that's a real long busting 70 yard run amrabat is just made there and he's more than capable of doing EX exactly the same in the last minute of a game he really does cover the ground with a real appetite and enthusiasm as RI now of Bayern Munich to take the throw Griezmann picked off by hakeim this is amrabat zes unahi who's really enhanced his reputation at this tournament Dari getting another feel of the ball barely 10 minutes before the kickoff he was still not in the starting lineup although it must be said that he did play an extensive part in their warmup with the other starting players yeah yeah they got problems at the back Morocco no doubt about it and they're keeping their fingers crossed sometimes you have to do that you know what in a World Cup semifinal no player wants to miss it I'm sure w r ragy would have asked them would have said I need to know exactly whether or not you can give me 90 minutes whether you can get through it can't always answer that as a player but what you can say is I want to do it I believe I can and then you go keep your fingers [Applause] crossed worthy of note is that s didn't play an extensive part in that warmup he did some work all on his own he did [Applause] naive and hakei good bustling play by fana playing alongside until very recently a club teammate Chu and mani together at Monaco that might well have edged the the scales in his [Applause] favor feel the ball for canate haran gell Gan was a little disappointed that no one spotted his run Barat and Griezmann has got away Elam left sprawling oh and mbappe oh does get his shot away and Hernandez coming in well he threatened to be the villain of the piece against England but how quickly The Fortunes can change in in World Cup football and France the world champions grab the game by the Scruff of the neck it's a great finish that from herandez it really is because he's having to get his foot almost shoulder height that's not always easy to do to keep it down Elam Dives in there on Griezmann that's a bad decision and they look like they smother the shot from mbappe but then it just drops but there that's really good agility watch that look that balls bounced up above shoulder height almost head height but he somehow manages to acrobatically both feet off the ground gets over the top of it hits it down into the floor and gives the world champions a lead well he thrust their fortunes into significant doubt with his careless foul against England in the quarterfinal but what a tremendous reaction from the left back a cool head In the Heat of the occasion and now well we've talked about mountains requiring climbing well this the steepest of the lot for Morocco
