In spite of whether the fans supported France or Morocco, football fans all over the world were taken away by the friendship between Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi. This is because ‘as soon as the match ended, Kylian Mbappe went straight over to console his good friend and teammate Achraf Hakimi, demonstrating that football is a game of great love.

Probably… the moments of the day!!!

Lionel Messi will be playing his last FIFA World Cup, so a victory for Argentina in the final would be a great ending for him.

After capturing the hearts and minds of the footballing world, Morocco’s aspirations came to a sad end. Morocco leaves the competition knowing that it has accomplished more than just success on the pitch by giving reigning champion France a run for its money. (http://rxreviewz.com/)

It’s the first time in two decades that the defending World Cup champion has reached the final. France now faces Lionel Messi and Argentina in its quest to win the World Cup back-to-back.
