Morocco need to stick away one of these chances soon otherwise they will get sucker-punched by Mbappe and France on the break.

Doesn’t reflect the way this game is going at all.
Morocco playing well.
France's finishing is quite ruthless, 2 shots on target and 2 goals.
Morroco had their chances, i must have counted atleast 7-8 opportunities where they could have scored.
Morocco had a great WC and if the Moroccan origin players, coaches born/raised in Europe keep playing for them Morocco will be most consistent African/Muslim/Arab team in next 10 years.
They would had been a force in Euro but unfortunately we will never see them there.
i doubt they will qualify for the next World Cup.

France is the last of the virtue signalling teams in the WC.
Really do not want France to win the final after the country and its citizens were highly critical of the WC to the point they refused to watch the WC but no doubt all of France will be tuning in on Sunday, including Eric Cantona
Tbf to France, the captain refused to wear the OneLove armband before the yellow cards became clear.
France has a lot of Muslim players.
Sure, their government is nothing short of fascist and much of their population are bitter, hate filled individuals.
Regardless this will be a historic final. Either France will defend the cup for the first time since Brazil or Messi will lift it for the first time ever.
France are favourites to me but it could go either way.
Messi winning it will make his claim to be GOAT very strong but for me Diego was one of a kind.
True, Messi could win the WC and the Golden Boot, but Maradonna will remain The GOAT. That 1 goal in 86 QF is worth all of Messi's WC career goals.
I haven't been impressed with France at all in this tournament. Neither have I been impressed with Argentina, but they have Messi, so I going for a 1-0 Argentina win with Messi scoring the winner.
In the next cup, 1990 Diego was a coke/alcohol addict but still got them to the final, this is how good he was lol.
I think Argentina were superb after their 1-2 defeat against KSA. France were not fluent but they got the job done.
14,000 Cops Across France On Guard For Troublemakers During World Cup Final
Around 14,000 police officers will be on duty across France on Sunday to guarantee security as Les Bleus take on Argentina in the World Cup final, officials said Friday.
The security operation, presented to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin publicly on Friday, will see a concentration of forces in Paris, where huge crowds are expected in the event of victory.
The Champs-Elysees avenue was the scene of vast celebrations during France's previous World Cup triumphs in 1998 and 2018, with 600,000 people cheering and dancing there four years ago.
The avenue will be closed to traffic on Sunday and 2,750 officers will be stationed in the vicinity.
Sub-zero temperatures and rain, which are forecast for Sunday, could dampen any party, however, as would a victory for Argentina and their inspirational Paris-based playmaker Lionel Messi.
Police will be on their guard for troublemakers, after around 40 far-right sympathisers arrested on Wednesday evening as they attempted to join a crowd of revellers after France beat Morocco in the semi-final.
"They had come to start a fight," Darmanin told reporters.
Around 115 people were arrested in total after the Morocco game in Paris, and clashes also took place last Saturday after France's quarter-final victory when police fired teargas to disperse the crowd.
The aftermath of Wednesday's game was also marred by the death of a 14-year-old boy in the southern city of Montpellier who was hit by a car carrying supporters.
The driver of a white hatchback involved in the accident is still being sought by police.
A fatal accident took place in 2019 in the same poverty-hit area of the city, Paillade, when a driver lost control of his vehicle and hit a mother and her baby after an Africa Cup of Nations game.
A total of 12,800 police officers will also be deployed in France on Saturday for the third-place run-off game between Morocco and Croatia.
