Former England forward, Chris Sutton has predicted a final between Argentina and Morocco in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Argentina are set to play Croatia on December 13 in the semi-final at the Lusail Stadium while Morocco will play on France on December 14 at the Al Bayt Stadium.
Sutton believes both sides would make an interesting finale to the Mundial.
“I would like to see Argentina and Morocco get through because of their teams’ amazing support,” BBC quoted Sutton as saying.
“Argentina fans drag their team through matches -it was like a home game for them against the Netherlands in the last eight, and it will be the same against Croatia.
“With Morocco I also think how it will be a great story for an African team to make it. Too often at this tournament we disregard teams from outside Europe and South America, but Morocco have made people think differently.
“They would be my romantic choice to make the final, but I am less sure about their chances against France.”
Morocco have never won the FIFA World Cup however Albiceleste won the tournament in Argentina ’78 and Morocco ’86.
Morocco beat Portugal in the quarter-final on November 10 at the Al Thumama Stadium and Argentina defeated the Netherlands 4-3 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at the Lusail Stadium on November 9.
