The first games of the Last 16 have now been played. Co-hosts CANADA had beaten South Africa to be one of the last 16. They faced MOROCCO who had beaten the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out. Morocco won 3-0. I did not see much of the first half which ended 0-0, so I was lucky to see the Morocco goals. They dominated Canada in the second half with some nice flowing football. Their goals came in the 50 and 82nd minutes from Ounahi and their last goal from Rahiai in the 90+8 minute. They are now through to the quarter-finals. They finished in fourth place in Qatar 2022. Morocco are now on a total of 10 goals. Canada are the first co-host team to leave the tournament but this is the best that they have done at a World Cup. They have finished on a total of 9 goals and they had a total of 3 votes.
It was all about FRANCE in their match against PARAGUAY, but although there was some lovely play, they were unable to get any shots on target. Paraguay had the odd flurry, but no danger to the French. Second half start’s, still with the temperature at 38c. France still took control of this game, and received a penalty in the 70th minute, which was taken by Mbappe and scored his 7th goal of the tounament. Then things took a turn, as Paraguay started to get a little bit of dirty play. So what started off as a nice looking game, it ended in a free for all. France win 1-0 with their lowest result of the tournament. They are on a total of 14 goals. They will play Morocco in the quarter-finals. They have a total of 22 votes. Paraguay go home with a total of 3 goals and 1 vote.
