Regragui's men who will now aim to secure a 3rd place finish by beating Croatia had earlier thumped Portugal in quarters, Spain, Belgium, and Croatia before making it to the semis. 

FIFA World Cup 2022:  'Just one step too far!', valiant Morocco end dream run with pride

There is less to rue about and more to feel proud of for the Atlas Lions who valiantly fought throughout the #FIFAWorld Cup 2022.

Tap to know what the Morocco coach Walid Regragui said after their loss to France in the semifinal

Regragui's men who will now aim to secure a 3rd place finish by beating Croatia had earlier beaten Portugal in quarters, and Spain &amp; Belgium before that.

'At a World Cup, this was perhaps one step too far!', said Morocco coach Walid Regragui after the heartbreak at the Al Bayt stadium. Their opponents, the Frenchmen, the finalists, the winners who embraced the valiant Atlas Lions after their loss evidently understood the coach's and the players' unfathomable pain in front of a sea of red shirts.&nbsp;
Morocco's unexpected yet fancy run came to an end when the defending champions France defeated them 2-0 in the 2nd semifinal and fixed their date with Argentina on the 18th. Regragui's men who will now aim to secure a 3rd place finish by beating Croatia were no less of a formidable team this World Cup. The underdogs had beaten Portugal in quarters, and Spain &amp; Belgium before that.
The Arab nation that etched its name in the history books by becoming the first-ever country from Africa to reach the semis played an injury-marred XI against France. Nayef Aguerd, Romain Saiss, Noussair Mazraoui, all three had injury doubts before the match. However, the bruised side gave a tough fight despite the odds until the 79th minute when Randal Kolo Muani landed a final blow with France's second goal.
But there is less to rue about and more to feel proud of. While a final finish or lifting the Cup would have been extraordinary, in Regragui's words, they gave the maximum and that's the most important part.&nbsp;
'I think the world as a whole is proud of this Moroccon team because we show great desire, we worked hard, we played honest, hard-working football' added the 47-year-old who alongside his 26-member squad surprisingly joined the pantheon of the fear-inspiring teams at the world stage this year!

Infantino who shared his detailed wish list to create and revamp FIFA events further added that the football body would also review the format of the group phase of the next World Cup in 2026.&nbsp;
He also lauded the organisers of Qatar 2022 and went on to call it the &lsquo;best-ever World Cup&rsquo;. Infantino called it a success on all fronts and added that the main was 'from the aspect of the fans, the behavior, the joyful atmosphere, the bringing of people together&rsquo;.&nbsp;

Google search engine hits highest ever traffic during FIFA World Cup final

Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed an interesting development about the 2022 FIFA World Cup finale

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Monday said that Google Search logged its highest-ever traffic in 25 years of its existence during the nail-biting FIFA World Cup final.&nbsp;
Lionel Messi&rsquo;s dream of winning the FIFA World Cup finally materialised on Sunday, with Argentina surviving a few anxious moments to register a fighting 4-2 penalty shootout win over defending champions France.
&ldquo;Search recorded its highest ever traffic in 25 years during the final of #FIFAWorldCup , it was like the entire world was searching about one thing,&rdquo; tweeted Pichai.
He earlier said that it was one of the greatest games ever.
&ldquo;Well played Argentina and France. Jogo Bonito. Nobody deserves it more than #messi, imho the greatest ever to play the game. What a swansong,&rdquo; posted Pichai.
Google Search was founded in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
With a more than 90 per cent market share in 2022, Google Search currently dominates the market.
Lex Fridma, host of Lex Fridman Podcast and research scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, replied to Pichai: &ldquo;Over a billion people tuned in, united by their love of the game. That&rsquo;s the best thing about football: it&rsquo;s a truly global game that unites us.&rdquo;

Here's how much Argentina, the new World Cup champion to get in prize money

Captain and talisman Lionel Messi completed a long-cherished dream and walked home with a huge prize money

Lionel Messi-led Argentina prevailed 4-2 over France on penalties to claim the FIFA World Cup 2022 title, after playing out a scintillating 3-3 draw in the summit clash on Sunday, December 18 at Lusail.
Argentina gets the most money out of each team, but it doesn't get the majority of the prize money.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 had a total prize pool of $440 million or Rs 3,600 crore. Out of that, the Argentina football team have now won $42 million or Rs 344 crore while defending champions France have to be satisfied with $30 million or Rs 245 crore.
FIFA World Cup 2018 runners-up Croatia, who finished third after defeating Morocco in 2022, will get $27 million or Rs 220 crore while Morocco will be getting $25 million or Rs 204 crore for reaching the semifinal stage.

For Messi, it was a night he will never forget. He's walking away from the international game with the biggest prize of them all - the World Cup

FIFA World Cup Final: Messi's dream comes true as Argentina overcome spirited France to lift World Cup title

For Messi, it was a night he will never forget. He's walking away from the international game with the biggest prize of them all - the World Cup

The script for the FIFA World Cup final couldn't have been any better. Lionel Messi got his fairytale ending as his dream of winning the World Cup came true, with Argentina beating France 4-2 on penalties.
It was none other than the Atomic Flea who broke the deadlock with a 23rd-minute penalty to put Argentina ahead.
Argentina then went on to get their second of the night courtesy of a brilliant team goal finished off by Angel Di Maria in the 36th minute.
A resilient Argentinian defence managed to hold off France for the majority of the second half. However, it all changed in a matter of 97 seconds.
France's golden boy Kylian Mbappe scored a quickfire brace to level the match. His successful penalty followed by a fantastic equaliser forced the match into extra time. After a quite first half of extra time, the second half saw the ball somehow find the feet of Lionel Messi again, who converted from close range to give Argentina the potential winner in the 108th minute.
But Mbappe wasn't done yet as the 24-year-old got the opportunity to square things again in the dying moments of extra time with yet another spot-kick, one that he successfully converted to complete his hat-trick, the first-ever hat-trick in a World Cup final.
With the game finishing 3-3 after extra time, it was all down to the penalty shootout. In what was possibly the biggest lottery in football, it was Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez who once rose to the challenge to give the Sky blue &amp; whites their third World Cup crown. For Messi, it was a night he will never forget. He's walking away from the international game with the biggest prize of them all - the World Cup.

Trade unions collaborate to legally assist Qatar migrant workers. Here's how

International Players' union Fifpro, the Building and Wood Workers' International and the International Domestic Workers Federation have developed a digital platform to help these workers with employment

In a bid to support migrant workers in Qatar involved in the process of building stadiums and other facilities for the football world cup, three trade unions have launched a digital service that helps them with legal assistance against exploitation.
International players' union Fifpro, the Building and Wood Workers' International and the International Domestic Workers Federation have developed a digital platform to help these workers with employment. The app also provides the labourers with information on their rights.

The aim is to create better working conditions and advancement of migrant workers' rights and conditions, the statement added.
The user friendly app will be available in seven languages: English, Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, Filipino, Hindi, Nepali.
The worker community in Qatar is reportedly not given access to essential information including information on their rights, amended employment law, abolition of kafala system. The initiative aims to cater to these areas and inform labourers about their rights.

The 34th minute goal saw Messi become Argentina&rsquo;s highest goal-scorer in FIFA World Cup history with 11 goals, one more than Gabriel Batistuta&rsquo;s 10. Julian Alvarez then doubled the lead five minutes later, with a brilliant solo run which started with a pass from Lionel Messi. While Croatia tried throwing the kitchen sink in the second half, it was all but over when Argentina inflicted more pain with a third goal - a sensational assist from Messi setting up Julian Alvarez once again.

Cristiano Ronaldo's former Real Madrid teammate Mesut Ozil has come to Portugal forward's defense after he was subjected to a lot of criticism during the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign.
Ronaldo is not having the best of World Cups with Portugal as the 37-year-old has managed to score one goal in his team's four World Cup encounters so far. After he was dropped to the bench in the last game, there were reports that Ronaldo wanted to leave the squad and return home, but these rumours were subsequently quashed by Coach Fernando Santos and Ronaldo himself.
Speaking against the negative media scrutiny Ronaldo has been subjected to, Ozil hit out at the press.
"I really don't get where this constant negativity from the press about Cristiano comes from... The Media is just trying to get clicks, and pundits who don't have a career anymore just want to get attention with his big name and try to make him look bad... He is soon 38 years old - so what's the surprise that he doesn't score 50 goals a season anymore? Every football fan out there should be happy to have seen him playing world-class football for 20 years." Mesut Ozil tweeted.
"I don't think anyone from the new generation will be able to match his numbers again. He will forever be in his own category. Everyone should show more respect to one of the greatest athletes in sports history." he further added.
Ozil has had a fair share of success with Cristiano Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid and thinks highly of him both as a person and as a player.

Here are the highlights of the dramatic game!

Lionel Messi became Argentina&rsquo;s joint top-scorer at World Cups, going level with Gabriel Batistuta on 10 goals when he converted from the penalty spot in the second half.

In a game where tempers flared far too often, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez proved to be the hero as his twin saves during the penalty shootout saw Argentina reach the last four at the expense of the Netherlands.
It was all started by their talisman Lionel Messi, who produced a world-class assist to set up Nahuel Molina in the 35th minute. The 7-time Ballon d&rsquo;Or winner then became Argentina&rsquo;s joint top-scorer at World Cups, going level with Gabriel Batistuta on 10 goals when he converted from the penalty spot in the second half.
At 2-0 with less than 10 minutes left for the final whistle, the game looked done and dusted. But Super-sub Wout Weghorst produced a brilliant header in the 83rd minute to give the Dutch a semblance of hope.
Drama ensued when he levelled the score with the final play of the 10-minute-long stoppage time, forcing the game into the extra 30 minutes.
With both sides unable to add to their scores, it was all down to the spotkicks, where the first two Dutch penalties were saved by Emi Martinez in stunning fashion. From there, Argentina kept their nerves and eventually won the shootout 4-3 to set up a semi-final date with Luka Modric&rsquo;s Croatia.

The Navigators are coming from a 6-1 win against Switzerland in their last 16 encounter with Goncalo Ramos, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the side, scoring the first hat-trick of the tournament on his World Cup debut as well. The limelight before the game though has been on CR7, who along with the country's football federation have denied reports that he threatened to leave the World Cup after he was benched for the game against Switzerland.

FIFA confirmed the migrant worker died during the group stage phase of the tournament which started on 20th November and ended on 2nd December.

A Filipino migrant worker named 'Alex' has died in Qatar in an incident at The Sealine Beach Resort, which was used by the Saudi Arabia national football team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to the government.
He was reportedly fixing lights in a hotel car-park, without a safety harness, and fell to his death.
No date was provided for the death, only that it happened during the group stage phase of the tournament which started on 20th November and ended on 2nd December.

Football's world governing body - FIFA - confirmed the incident and a Qatari government official said, "If the investigation concludes that safety protocols were not followed, the company will be subject to legal action and severe financial penalties.
"Compensation is paid through the Workers' Support and Insurance Fund when a worker has been injured or passed away due to a work-related incident, or when an employer is unable to pay salaries."
Meanwhile, a campaign group mounted a protest in the hometown of FIFA president Gianni Infantino calling for immediate compensation for migrant workers who died or were exploited while building infrastructure for the 2022 World Cup.
Global citizen activism group Avaaz drove billboards through Brig in southern Switzerland, after 725 thousand people had signed an Avaaz petition calling on Infantino to establish a compensation fund of around 440 million dollars.
Avaaz spokesperson Andy Legon said of Infantino: "His family actually moved here as migrant workers, so we're hoping this is a timely reminder of the fact that he needs to compensate the many migrant worker victims of this World Cup."
Although Qatar has never provided exact figures for the number of deaths of foreign labourers, it has refuted claims by human rights groups that thousands have died.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 witnessed yet another high-octane encounter in the Round of 16 as Morocco went through to the quarter-finals by winning 3-0 on penalties against 2010 champions Spain at the Education City Stadium in Qatar, on Tuesday.
Morocco, who had conceded just one goal before this match managed to see out another clean sheet in what was a relentless 120 minutes of football against La Furia Roja. The Atlas Lions then went on to win it in penalties courtesy of another goalkeeper masterclass by Yassine Bounou who saved 2 penalties for the Moroccans.
This is the first time the Moroccans have qualified for the World Cup quarter-finals and are just the 4th African team in the tournament's history to have made it to the quarter-final stage.
It was Morocco who had the better start in the game but the Atlas Lions failed to get anything out of their chances in the first half. The Spaniards came out in the second half looking dangerous and forced Morocco to defend for their lives for the rest of the game.
However, the match had to be decided by a penalty shootout after Pablo Sarabia's shot in the very last minute of extra time knicked the post and went out in the end.
Penalties and Spain clearly don't go hand-in-hand as this was La Furia Roja's 4th loss from penalties out of the 5 penalty shootouts they have experienced so far.

3 crucial penalty kick saves from Croatia's goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic made sure that the Kockasti go through to the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022. He becomes only the 3rd goalkeeper to save three penalties in a single World Cup shootout.
This was the first game to go beyond the normal 90 minutes after Japan's 43rd-minute opening goal through Daizen Maeda was canceled out in the second half by an incredible header by Ivan Perisic in the 55th minute.
Despite Japan looking more lively in the game, the Samurai Blues could not go past the Croatian defence for the second time and had to leave it all up to the football gods for the result in the end.
