Morocco after winning their group and beating Belgium and Canada to get to the quarter-finals they had to play PORTUGAL. Portugal was also top of their group winning against Ghana and Uruguay but this would be no easy game for them. Morocco dominated the first half and they scored just before half time in the 42nd minute by En-Nesyri. In the second half Portugal brought on their sub Ronaldo but he made no difference to the outcome. Even when Morocco were reduced to ten men they stood their ground and defended well in the last dying minutes. Morocco win 1-0 and yet another shock in this World Cup. Morocco make history for getting to the semi-finals.
Portugal are in their 6th World Cup with Golden Goals and this is the best score that they have had with a total of 12 goals. In Russia 2018 they finished on a total of 6 goals. Portugal’s average score at a World Cup is 7 goals.
ENGLAND after winning their group,
had beaten Iran and Wales in the first round and then won against Senegal in
the second round. FRANCE had also won their group against
Australia and Denmark. In the second round they pushed past Poland to get here.
England had a good first half with the
game moving up and down the field with both teams having their periods of
control. But the French scored the first goal in the 17th minute by Tchouameni. Half time and France are 1-0
up. The second half started really fast and England received a penalty in the
54th minute and it was scored by Harry
Kane. Despite England hitting the post, the French scored their second goal
in the 78th minute from Giroud.
England got another penalty in the 82nd minute but Harry Kane blast it way over the bar. I
thought that England had played very well but the game goes to the France with
a final score of 2-1. France have taken their goals total to 11.
England are in their 8th World Cup with us and they finished with a total of 13 goals which is their best score in a World Cup. They have also scored the most goals in Qatar so far. They now average around 7 goals in each World Cup.
After the quarter-final games have now all been played and we have just 3 nations left in the World Cup. We have now taken our goals total to 119. At this stage in Russia 2018 we had a total of 105 goals from 18 teams.
