​We’ve reached the quarter-final phase of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with only eight matches left to determine the next world champion. Having already watched 96 games, the tournament has reached its high-stakes stretch as the field narrows. France has advanced to this point largely in top gear, not needing to push into high gear to secure progress. Paraguay provided a stern test in the Round of 16, employing a physical, compact style of football that managed to slow France’s attack, but only just. Despite that challenge, France had been prolific, having scored three or more goals in four consecutive matches prior to that confrontation.
Morocco has again proven their credentials on football’s biggest stage. The North African side captured the imagination by reaching the semi-finals in the previous edition and has continued to display their quality this time around. They topped their group, finishing level with Brazil, and then advanced past one of the tournament’s early favorites, the Netherlands, on penalties in the Round of 16. Their victory over Canada in the subsequent clash reinforced their rising status and defensive discipline, as they surged to a convincing win against the co-hosts.
