JAKARTA - The French national team met Morocco in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Who would have thought, this is by the prediction of the football legend from Cameroon, Samuel Eto'o.

Before the 2022 World Cup started, Eto'o predicted that African countries would steal the attention in this edition of the World Cup.

In fact, he believes, three African countries will penetrate the top four, namely Ghana, Cameroon, and Morocco.

However, of the three African countries that Eto'o predicted to enter the semifinals, only Morocco really fit his guess. Meanwhile, Ghana and Cameroon have left in the early rounds.

Eto'o predicts Morocco will meet France in the semifinals and his guess is right. The president of the Cameroon Football Federation then predicted that Morocco would win the battle with France.

"Africa has always had the potential to succeed at the World Cup, but we haven't shown our best until now," Eto'o said in a statement quoted by Sportbible on Wednesday, December 14.

"Over the years, African teams have accumulated experience and I think they are ready not only to take part in the World Cup but also to win it."

"Cameroon will win in the World Cup final after defeating Morocco who met France in the semifinals," he said in predicting the 2022 World Cup.

Morocco is a team full of surprises at this quadrennial football party. The roar of the Atlas Lion can even bring home big teams like Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

Now Walid Reragui's team has reached the semifinals and will face France at the Al Bayt Stadium on Thursday, December 15 in the early hours of WIB.

Morocco's progress to the semifinals made them make history. Morocco became the first African country to reach the semifinals of the World Cup.

Can history continue to be carved by Hakim Ziyech and his friends? Let's wait and see.
