Most football fans think that Samuel Eto’o was only joking when giving his opinion regarding the results of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but that prediction has partially come true.
Regarding the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup tonight, one of Samuel Eto’o’s correct predictions is the meeting between France vs Morocco.
The President of the Cameroon Football Federation, Samuel Eto’o once made a very funny prediction about the 2022 World Cup on ESPN.
Prediction Version Samuel Eto’o
The former Barcelona striker devised a scenario that two representative teams from Africa would enter the 2022 World Cup final. This scenario was uploaded by Eto’o on social media.
Not only predicting the France vs Morocco duel in the semifinals, the four-time African best player correctly predicted that Morocco would beat Spain in the last 1/8 round.
Morocco is also predicted to win against Portugal in the quarter-finals, and this prediction is right because Atlas Lion is now in the semifinals to face France.
In an overview of the scenario up to the final round, the former Inter Milan striker also predicted that Morako would beat France and qualify for the final. In the final, Morocco will face another African representative, Cameroon.
However, among the correct estimates, there are also misses. One of them is the final round because Argentina is now certain to qualify for the 2022 World Cup final after beating Croatia 3-0 on December 13.
Apart from the predicted results of France vs Morocco which are not necessarily correct, the Atlas Lion squad does have the best defense for the 2022 World Cup. No team has been able to find the net against Morocco, except for themselves which Nayef Aguerd did at the end of the group stage.
The defense system designed by Walid Reragui is very difficult to penetrate. This strength became the foundation for Morocco to create miracles, becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup.
Therefore, France must be vigilant because it is not impossible that Morocco will succeed in getting to the top of the 2022 World Cup. With 2 rounds remaining in the 2022 World Cup, Moroccan fans around the world certainly hope that Samuel Eto’s prediction will come true against France in the semifinals.
