The World Cup returns from a brief, one-day hiatus with a cracking matchup between France and Morocco, who kick off the quarterfinals at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. After overcoming a sluggish first half against Senegal in the opening Group Stage match, France has steamrolled the opposition, racking up a +12 goal differential, emerging as perhaps the favorites to take home the Jules Rimet later this month.
While they haven’t grabbed as many headlines as the French, Morocco has strung
together some impressive results over the past few weeks, including a pair of 1-1 draws against traditional powerhouses Brazil and the Netherlands. Neil El Ayanoui and company blazed a path to the quarterfinals by defeating co-host Canada 3-0 last weekend.
We should be in store for an entertaining 90 minute this afternoon, if not more!
