Watch France vs. Morocco
France had to fight and claw their way through the Round of 16, with opponents Paraguay relying on underhanded tactics to rattle the French. But Mbappé and the rest of the team kept their heads and eked out a 1-0 win. It was a testament to their skill and teamwork, but it wasn’t the dominant performance fans expected for the World Cup contenders — proof that France aren’t totally dominant. Morocco, meanwhile, have been on fine form, eliminating the Netherlands on penalties and easily dispatching co-hosts Canada.
