Morocco was held scoreless by Spain and then won anyway. Then they won 1-0, before being destroyed by France, 2-0. They’ll next face Croatia, which beat Japan 1-1, and then upset superpower Brazil, 1-1.

I think Morocco had not given up a goal going into yesterday's semifinal. There is nothing more boring than watching a 0 - 0 tie in soccer. Truthfully, the game is designed to make it very difficult to score. And a lot of times that's what you get. I predict Argentina 3 France 2.

There would be fewer 0-0 snoozers if teams lost points for a tie: 3 points for a win, 0 points for a loss, and -1 points for a tie. Also, faking an injury anywhere on the pitch should result in a penalty kick and three game suspension.
