Last night in Qatar, the Atlas Lions of Morocco made history by becoming the first African team to compete in a world cup semifinal.
Despite losing to the defending champions le Bleus of France, the Moroccans unquestionably brought honor to Africa, the Arab world, and the Muslim world.
The two goals scored by Hernandez and Kolo Muani in the 5th and 79th minutes, respectively, were all that France needed to advance to the Finals, where they will face Messi's Argentina on Sunday.
The huge killers Morocco's intentions were clearly derailed by the early goal, which resulted in the defeat.
On Saturday, the squad will play Croatia in a third-place playoff to determine the third- and fourth-place teams, respectively.
