is always very sentimental to the modem. so that's probably one of the super at the last world cup for european teams, including morocco's next opponents, france made it through to the semi finals cat. so 3 consonants are represented at this stage of the tournament. some countries obviously did very, very well in adapting to the time now playing into november, december, 1st time ever in the middle east and in the middle of their club seasons in europe, especially. so you had to adapt to a lot of things, especially from our a mental point of view. lean unless he has willed his argentina team in the semi's . his country's 1st title, when since 1986 remains an achievable ambition, financial justice and rhetoric i'll be done in a garage. he is our captain, our leader. he's the one pushing us, motivating us. he's

a special advantage on the patient. we know we have line all messy and it is motivation for us. we're really happy to have messy as our captain. we're all working together to achieve our dreams, and we can with messy by our side. it short history resale stadium has become a 2nd home for argentina and that tens of thousands of fans. 3 of their 5 matches have been played here by thornton siena and croatia will be hoping they have 2 more matches to come in this venue. it's where their semi final and the world cup final will be played. crecia do have form when it comes to world cup winds against storage and tina. they beat them 3 nail on the way to reaching the final 4 years ago. and richardson al jazeera lu sale. gracious coach says his side all confident they acknowledge debbie on the dogs. but think all the pressure is a large in tina miss mosley. may you check that it does? you see it? we are among the 4 best teams in the world, that is an extraordinary success recreation. it is

a great things to be among the full best national teams to weld cups in a row. however, we want more. we are playing the great hodge and chino a terrific team lead by lino messy. they are highly motivated, but they're under greater pressure than croatia this particular moment in time. well, let's bring in asha now i'll show apart from that blip against saudi arabia, argentina. what really tested until they faced up against netherlands. do they, do you think that the fund corey? sure tough opponent. of course they will. and there's history, you know, between, between the 2 teams, you have to go back to march 2006 actually went messy scored his 1st edge and seen a goal. it was against grocer and in the same game moderates med, his debut for questions. so there's been history, you know, between the 2 players, of course we've seen them, you know, in the classic go in the legal, real madrid against their bus alona. but also 4 years ago. and i wish i won 3, neil, so i didn't know that they come into this fixture, you know, against

a very stubborn side that has only conceited. 3 goes into stone. i'm and we've seen them push, you know, that knock out games 2 extra time and penalties twice in this gentleman 3 times in 2018. that's an incredible record undergo. keep, you know, lever code which has been amazing. and so the ones to finish the business with 9 to minutes, but it's going to be very, very tough for. and tina argentina's funds have been absolutely brilliant. the embassy, the continued embassy says that around 35 to 40000 have traveled have for this tournament. how important is that have such a good, fun base when you go into much like this? it's going to be very important. i've been to a couple of games where agend, tina fans have created this atmosphere in stadiums. amazing. if you have to go back to their game against mexico, that was one of the best games i've seen at this tournament. and already we've seen what the fans mean, for example, for teams like morocco. so co s one to create the same atmosphere especially that they're playing against as in tina who have so many traveling fans from back home.

and so it's going to be an incredible 6 year where you need the energy because sometimes energy can go down in the stadium and you can fill it. but with the fans will be amazing for the players to experience that. yeah, it was like in between argentina and poland, it felt like love them would add up. the polish friends are completely out numbered on the subject of probation. not many people were backing croatia going to this. there was a lot of talk about the play as being an aging squad for how they got this for. they've gotten this far because they're very organized. they communicate together, they fight for each other. and yes, people want to kind of make it, you know, about moderate, but it's way bigger than him. it's, you know, a collective effort. and you can feel that in the way that they play. and when you talk about this, they're not trying to play fancy football, you know, like the ticket tucker that we've seen with spain the just trying to get the job done. and that's the style of football. and that's how they're going to approach that game against an tina. ok, so just quickly who's going to be left standing off to this messy, much rich mess is going to the final messy. hey, well,

you heard it here 1st i just said so. so it must be true. now encouraged, those real belief that the team can go one better than 4 years ago and left the trophy met investor, which is inside. grab. this exhibition in zigler center is showing a history of gratian national football team. the 1st ever that national team qualified for the world cup was in 1998 it winning a bronze medal or winning against the netherlands to one a back in 1998 grey showplace for the 1st time against argentine on world cups. ah, there were held back, they lost, or one at nil about 4 years ago in russia are also in the gross phase, or crecia beats leon, else mercy's theme. now, there aren't a lot of people at that sir. can brag of coming from the nation that counts less than 4000000 people and having their theme reaching the semi finals are 4 or

3 times after defeating brazil, 5 times world champion or fans almost every single person we talk. do they think that this is the time to go all the way this vote over here shows, says bronze silver on fire. everybody thinks that the time came for the creation team to be the world cup winners. now cattle has been under more scrutiny than any other host nation in former england defended. gary neville says, not all of it has been justified. neville plates to well cups for england and now works as a television pundits. he told far smell that co hosts of the next well, country usa have some major issues to address. there's no doubt that ours been targeted more than any other country that have had the will cut. you know, i don't believe south africa was targeted much all china. what's on the revenue

olympics? is much all russia. it's oxy from the will cut? it's ours been like a lightning rod for people to come together. so i think actually part of it to me. i think it was the middle east. it's wednesday is it was football brought me to the middle east. there are some jury listening when you've covered the story for many, many years, but the majority of just jumps on the market in the last 6 months. it started to highlights it. if we're going to highlight issues in parts of the world, we should highlight them wherever we go. we're intertwined with relationships and partnerships for the middle east. not happen for 20 years. so i'm struggling to understand a little bit why all of a sudden. there has been this saw of what would be the thing that we should of a woke up in the middle east. we should have relationships with guitar. we should have relationships with the middle east in countries. all families come just that's not how it works. that's not always been the 20 is my life where i've been taken to football countries all over the world. well, you know, you said you've been coming here for 20 years while i've lived here for a long time. i have a deep connection to this country and i took it personally like

a lot of the stuff that the u. k. media was saying, do you think that there are biases by the u. k. media? why don't understand this? how f one tallies, gulf energy, banking, finance, retail, the royal family and horse races can all have relationships to the middle east. but football come, i don't, and i'm not accepting that anymore. i'm not sitting there next football player looked, playing football in different parts of the world for 20 years, is now being criticized for basically coming over here and compensating for the whole broadcast on a few football games. while everybody else in our country, most of the people say most of the country can enjoy relationships with the middle east and far east. in countries we have the same work system which of the same so of what would be beliefs? i'm sorry, i'm not accepting that it's always football players next football players after that. and so obviously like the perfect challenges this so obviously like we said,

the fights were everybody, but politicians and all the people institutional positions don't you can see is more of our media. more of the world's media comes over. every experience is the middle east experience is what happens over it. now it's so different than, than our country that look back and think about what our country can do better, what the middle east can do better. but should we have partnerships relationships with the middle east, with a fiery? we absolutely need to. we have politicians now, a country you call people who try to come all for a safe alive invaders. yet i would, i would means you're not country of focused heavily on what would be the problem with migrant workers over here. but the way in which we treat people who are trying to come over to our shows to work, to actually see, refuse to be the same place is terrible. so i'm, after the conversation is happening. i'm getting to the end of the children, albany, 3 weeks. i've taken a personal criticism myself, i'm. busy into this conversation continually for next wednesday is one thing. so sir, and i'm not gonna stop coming to the middle east. so you're talking about,

you know, ok since determined started people that you work with. are the media in general? do you think their preconceptions have changed since covering it or since the world cup of started soon will. i think some will change definitely. you can feel it and some lives of made a position that they don't believe the will should be over here. and they'll not change. and but the conversations good to have, we're going to america for years time gun laws, abortion, women's rights, state capital punishment in many states, racism in large parts of america. we should be talking more about these things in football, but in every country, in every country, not just in, not just in this country. and i think we turned a blind eye 4 years ago to russia. you know, 4 years ago in russia, everyone in the blind di to what was happening. and basically this time, i think over compensate, i think going to fall the other way. alcohol has been something that, you know, people have been talked about. it talked about

a lot here. do you think the decision to not have it in and around the stadium because maybe me the atmosphere at the stadiums. a lot more you know, family friendly. i don't think it was a problem with no, i'll call. i think the only problem was the fact that he felt like a decision, it was made too late. and that's the only decision that i can think can be critical of the reality of it. i don't think it's home for the solomon in any way, shape or form. if i think that if anything, everyone's felt really safe, go into the games. everyone's probably be really good atmosphere is. i think probably sometimes you've probably drunk out cold before going much feel better going somebody. she's sober. so i think that's the only criticism i would have would be. so if you live in the delay making the decision, but in terms of the actual decision itself and how it happens, the stadium, it's always been fantastic from a football point of view in the atmosphere point of view. and what have you thought about the one city format? the players will absolutely love it. if you speak, the players know travelling, people say the america. and if you decide that solomon spelled out bits of tall

firms, traveling 3 for 5 hours potentially, between games, we knock out games and the group games. it'll be tough for the players because you get it on the plane after every game, to fly by the base. so the warm city told him the ones that the format was always going to work. the only thing i was worried about was, was, was traffic. that's been handled really well. i was worried a little bit about the concentration of fans, maybe some trouble like and that's not materialized. so the 2 things that we're concerned before the told me, which was accommodation. all 3 things accommodation, a bit of trouble and traffic have been handled brilliantly generally during the tournament. are you, are you worried about? are you concerned about it changing to the 48 team format? and for years i think that i'm worried about the 48 team format and how it works, how it sort of bills, but you know, great participation for african team teams from different pos, foster lazy, different parts of asia. i think was something that we were rocco will mean that people will say that an increase for me is probably something that's right. because

of that, i think infancy will feel justified in his decision to expand the torment because he wants to try and create a greater world. caught robinson is more of a specific $32.00 team. so on. however, we still have to make sure that football tournament itself is of high quality and that still yet to proven with the 48 teams on it. okay. who do you think it's going to make it to the final? i think, well, all predictions are out of the window in this order. yeah, i would think, i would think it will be arjun cedar and france. that's what i think the final will be if i look at the paper. but you'd probably be sure to predict that because it could easily be mock morocco and gratian all creation from sol, morocco, knowledge, and seen it because he just feel now you just feel like it's messy and buffy in the fire. like how you feel it's going to end up. i'd be surprised if it didn't do an argentine you've got nastiness to them that you feel could get them over the line by and that little bit spirit. and they've got a great fan base over as well. well,

in morocco, people a, celebrating their national team reaching the same ease here in katha, the arab and african world. a painting that hopes on the outlet lions beating france and making it to the final hashem a whole bar reports from or about greece by the the was a wising football thought and walk of but a few weeks before the 1986. well, up in mexico, he injured his leg, his teammates went on to make history reaching the last 61st for an out of an african nation. 36 years later, to remain full of passion for football. i want these young plays to become stars and when they grow up, remember that i never stopped even when the injury shifted my dreams. many of the young players at his foot will academy have been inspired by the atlas lions impressive journey of cut off 2022. 0 thank

when good neighbors go. i want to become a famous footballer and make my country known all over the world. him and home. santa harkins, women who live harkins yet is my hero. i am inspired by his elegant in combat of style. i want to be like him in the future. the in the moroccan team started as one of the under dogs in this world cup. but as they progressed, their popularity has skyrocketed nowhere more so than here tow. for us young people that give us a hope, andrea, we never dream about having the moroccan now and the american team to be qualified 1st. i mean the 1st round. then the 2nd while now we're dreaming nobody. if we agree, mean that's it. we're going for the cup. that is not just meeting friends though is the prevailing sense of national pride. this is one of those rare moments when

people set aside their worries about growing inflation and foot weiss's millions of people, not just hillary morocco, but across africa and the olive world. i hoping the atlas lions can achieve what was considered almost impossible a few weeks ago. booking a place in the world cup, final hash multiple al jazeera rabbit. all right, so asha mum morocco yet to be beaten at this year's tournament, they've conceded just once and it was an end goal. so how does france get past their defense? i think it's going to take a lot of genius from the entire team. of course we've seen what they can do in the tournament. they're the defending champions, but just talking about their attack or leave israel and killing a really not easy place to defend. but we've seen that, you know, morocco when they defend, they're very, very compact. there's a report that said that the distance between the goalkeeper and the 1st person playing defense is 16 meters. that's fitting 11 class in 16 meters. that's very,

very compact. when you look at it, but just generally speaking, we saw that england where the side that could ask the questions, especially in the 2nd half of that game. if moral can do the same, it will be very difficult for friends. but on the other side, also, i think friends have the quality, you know, to deal with that morgan said, but they must respect morocco if they enter the game thinking they are, you know, already in the final it will be very difficult for them. and morocco will have more support for this one than they've had before. right? absolutely. they've sat t flights organized by roy, m a rock, which is the national courier coming in between, you know, from guess a blank. i to don't already, we've seen so many thousands of fans in so what gives around don't you know, they've been going to the games and you expect about 45000 fans to be at the game. that should be quite a sight and it will help the players, the atlas lions, when they fest france. ok, go back to france. i'm killing them by pay top score at this tournament. so for how

do the moral can shut him down for this one? well, it's a very good question. you asked. remember on the other side of the merc inside you have a sure if i q me nice, very good friend at b. s. g, who i'm sure, has already briefed the rest of the defense and say, this is how and what we need to do against, you know, for us when we come up against kill in england. did that actually they that kind of put it out of the game and marco will be trying to do the same, but they'll also know that france have options that can school there were concerns going into this tournament for the front team with the number of injuries that they sustained before take off at the well cup, but they've really shown that they've got the depths in that school, haven't they? absolutely. you done window, woke up with just, you know, 11 players under verde shown that and i mean we social media scoring that go against england. absolutely. no. and maybe so that he would be the one scoring against england. they have the quality, they also have

a structure to the way that they play and anyone can school. but many yuru is yuru . so many people underwrite, tim. they don't really give him the coverage that they give. for example, killian bobby. and he is a very, very dangerous player, and he'll be very important for, for us going into that fixture. i shall, thanks very much. well, morocco's defense has been key to their success here. in kat they've only conceded one goal. and the tillman was a known go. and as nicholas hack reports from casablanca, the next generation of football, as now have a new hero. we're in downtown casablanca and the old medina in the ra hall, football club, and over 50 young players have turned professional, playing in an empty demoss, a or in the european league. and most of them as strikers or mid fielders. but since the success of the moroccan national squad, many of them want to become goalkeepers. because yes, in bruno, the goalkeeper of the moroccan squad started playing right here on

a feel like this one in casablanca. he's known here as spider man because he creates an impenetrable web that can stop any attacks. you can see the only one gold since the beginning of the world cup. and it, there is a feeling here that he will stop the french attack and make history. so that morocco can move forward to the next round. as sure, isn't it great to see kids wanting to be go keep his so strike his for once. yeah, absolutely. and really as in, bruno, he's been a great sir. you know e meds for these kids and just to see them want to be like him. it's amazing that is amazing. and the so many good keepers at live i just just there live a cove rich in this tournament. i've really kind of come to the full well usher, thank you very much. well, morocco make it to the final or will unfold over the next 2 days here in catholics course to us for joining me again. we'll have more in on next. well,
