Here are the results of the second day of the semifinals
This time that's it, we finally know the names of the teams that will compete in the small final and in the final of this world cup.
France has indeed beaten Morocco which fought courageously to the end but which did not succeed in dethroning the current world champion.
We will therefore have a small final between Croatia and Morocco and the last match of this surprising World Cup will take place between France and Argentina.
Will France manage to retain its title of world champion and even acquire a third? Will Argentina succeed in grabbing it for them? We will know in a few days.

Not much change in our ranking except for @azj26 who bet on Morocco and didn't get a badge today. He comes out of the group of five participants likely to catch up with the leading trio made up of @soluce07, @onlyhive and @andyblack.
There are only two matches left to decide. Otherwise, it will be the speed of bets that will make the difference. You have been warned once again.
Get ready! Set? ...
