8:08 p.m. : This is the ideal scenario for the Blues. Yesterday again, captain Hugo Lloris stressed the importance of hitting hard from the start. A goal in the 5th minute, when the Blues usually play it diesel, the plan goes off without a hitch.

8:06 p.m. : We saw arms raised in the press gallery (we are ranked by nationality). This is the ideal start for the Blues (who casually are the first team to score a goal in Morocco, the previous one having been scored by a defender against his camp).

8:06 p.m. : Opening of the score of Théo Hernandez, who suddenly cools the stadium by taking a strike from Mbappé blocked by a defender! This is the ideal scenario for the Habs!

8:02 p.m. : @farpaitement I have to shout to speak to Raphaël who is 50 cm from me. This is to tell you the hellish noise that the Moroccan supporters manage to make 😉

8:02 p.m. : On the other hand, we can’t deny the whistles when the Blues have the ball, even in the stadium, can’t we?

8:01 p.m. : Morocco therefore evolves with three central defenders in a 5-4-1 tactic which seems quite restrictive on paper. Afterwards, the Atlas Lions proved that they had a huge heart and didn’t need 50 chances to score.

7:59 p.m. : @Flo I share the opinion of our colleagues, from the stadium, it was ultra minority.

8:00 p.m. : Strange commentary from TF1,” Marseillaise respected” while everyone heard the whistles!

7:58 p.m. : Nevertheless… Morocco, we have the impression that they are playing at home!!

7:59 p.m. : No hymns, because I feel that you are very interested in that. A few whistles sounded at the start of the Marseillaise before quickly dying out, the Moroccan anthem was taken up in chorus by the whole stadium. Clearly, we play outside!

7:58 p.m. : It’s almost 8 p.m., the time of the Blues, but before kick-off, here is a new point on the news:

• The kick-off is about to be given for the match between France and Morocco tonight. Follow and comment with us on the semi-final of the 2022 World Cup in our live.

Gas consumption has fallen by 10.5% since August 1 in climate-corrected data in France, according to the first weekly winter dashboard published today by the gas transport manager GRTgaz.

Météo France now places, for tomorrow, 19 departments in orange vigilance for snow-ice, six less than during the last weather report.

The Minister of Defense has declared a state of emergency throughout the territory and for a period of 30 days, due to the unrest which has killed seven people in the country since Sunday.

7:49 p.m. : 95% – Ibrahima Konaté?? won 95% of his duels during the 2022 World Cup (21/22), the highest percentage for a player on this edition (minimum 10 duels played). Dominant. #FRAMAR

7:49 p.m. : Is the last minute tenure of Ibrahima Konaté in place of Dayot Upamecano in the central hinge on the blue side such bad news? Here is a statistical reason for hope.

7:48 p.m. : Jamel Debbouze ????#FRAMAR#Qatar2022#FIFAWorldCup

7:48 p.m. : France or Morocco? Morocco or France? Jamel Debouzze preferred not to choose. The Franco-Moroccan comedian wears a jersey in the gallery that should not upset anyone.

7:48 p.m. : @Wndy Note that the Tunisians, who had whistled the Blues throughout the meeting, creating an atmosphere that can only be found in Turkish stadiums in Europe, were silent during the Marseillaise. The Moroccan supporters had neither whistled the Belgian anthem in chickens, nor the Spanish in the 8th, the two matches of Morocco which we attended.

7:47 p.m. : #FOOT Good evening Pierre. From what I read, the French team shouted down, Qatari soccer players learn quickly. Will they dare to whistle our Marseillaise? Thank you for making us vibrate.

7:42 p.m. : Even when I watch it’s out of the corner of my eye, I don’t accept these two watched matches badly (usually I watched as many of them as possible)… cockadeer who resurfaces despite the many grievances at so many levels.. .

7:42 p.m. : In the comments (on fire this evening), , faithful among the faithful, confides to us having scruples to watch the matches of this World Cup in Qatar.

7:41 p.m. : My prediction Qatar 1, Climate 0

7:41 p.m. : Prognosis for tonight: 3-1 with double from Mbappé and 1 goal from Griezman

7:41 p.m. : 3-0 for France ?? All behind the blues tonight Alleeeeeezzz ⚽️??

7:40 p.m. : I bet on 2-1 for France but as long as we win, whatever the score, I sign!

7:40 p.m. : #global2022 5-0 for France Move around there is nothing to see

7:40 p.m. : The result of the match will be nothing!

7:40 p.m. : You will take a salvo of predictions?

7:34 p.m. : Note that many Moroccan supporters who came especially, lured by the promise of free tickets, found themselves in the water at Doha airport this afternoon. Our comrade Denis Menetrier noted their dismay in his report.

7:39 p.m. : The Blues entered the field for the warm-up under a rain of whistles and at the moment, the announcement of the composition of the Habs is booed by the public. We already know that Morocco will win the battle for the stands, with nearly 40,000 supporters in the stands of the Al-Bayt stadium tonight.

7:39 p.m. : @Benjamin It’s a real dilemma for football lovers, including those contacted by our comrade Louis Boy. “The TV caught my eye. The game, the adrenaline… It took me back”, Mikaël told him. He returned to this same brasserie to see France triumph over England. “I’m ashamed of it, but I absolutely vibrated”. That same evening, he made an online donation to Greenpeace.

Find his article here. And I take this opportunity to remind you that we have dealt with the figure of 6,500 dead workers, the stifling of social protest, the blindness of Qataris in the face of criticism, the suspicions surrounding the awarding of the World Cup, the aberration ecological, the XXL prices of this country of VIPs, and so on.

7:38 p.m. : #global2022 Come on, it’s time to get ready to settle down in front of your TV. We think of taking something to snack on, to take something to drink too. But above all we think of disconnecting our neurons so as not to have to think of the dead workers for the construction of stadiums and other infrastructures. We also think of disconnecting our empathy so as not to realize that this World Cup rotten by money is taking place in a country which despises the freedom of its nationals, and whose climaticidal actions will contribute to destroying the planet. #mondialdelahonte #boycott

7:30 p.m. : FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022:French President Emmanuel Macron is warmly welcomed and flanked by a large number of people at Souq Waqif? Joey Aguilar#FIFAWorldCupQatar2022 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2022 #Qatar2022

7:38 p.m. : In effect @Onobservelatribune, Emmanuel Macron has just arrived in the gallery (presidential, him). He made a quick detour through the small streets of Souq Waqif, in Doha. On the other hand, no king of Morocco this evening who decided not to go to Qatar for the match.

7:37 p.m. : President Macron will be present for the 1/2 final of the Cup and the King of Morocco? Do you have the info? Have a good evening.

7:25 p.m. : You misread, we have chosen to deal with this World Cup both from a sporting point of view and from the point of view of the aberrations it generates. As we’ve been reporting on this subject for almost five weeks, I’m giving you the link to the tags page where you can find them all. I believe that their cumulative reading time exceeds 90 minutes 😉

7:36 p.m. : And I who thought I understood that FI was in favor of boycotting this cdm 2022! I’m stupid and naive! Too bad for me ! Nevertheless, no more than on other days, my TV will not be on for this match. There are very good programs on other channels!

7:25 p.m. : the traditional 2-1!

7:24 p.m. : Good evening. For me it will be 3 to 1 for the Blues obviously ???

7:24 p.m. : I say shots on goal and victory Morocco

7:24 p.m. : I say 3-1

7:23 p.m. : And me 2-2, extra time and 3-2 France.

7:23 p.m. : And 1, and 2, and 3-0 !!!

7:22 p.m. : I say 2-1!

7:22 p.m. : It’s time for the traditional update on the editorial staff’s forecasts. Note that only chiefs whose names I will keep silent predict the victory of Morocco. Unanimity between Rachel Rodrigues (3-2), Raphaël Godet (2-1), Andrea La Perna (3-1), Denis Ménifère (1-0) and myself (2-0).

Marie-Adélaïde Scigacz ventures a bolder prediction: “Match canceled after an air conditioning explosion in the 30th minute. France were then leading 2-0.” Big odds, I’m not sure it’s on tonight.

It’s up to you in the comments!

7:19 p.m. : Good evening everyone, delighted to experience this semi-final next to Pierre… but especially next to you! Good news on the technical side: the internet seems to have got up on the right foot this morning, my browser displays 5 bars, so we shouldn’t miss anything 🙂

7:20 p.m. : Good evening Paris, this is Doha! With our friend Raphaël Godet, we are at the Al-Bayt stadium in Al-Khor to make you experience this semi-final between France and Morocco! We remind you of the playing conditions: a wifi that works on solar energy and capricious, an air conditioning that makes down jackets appear in the press box, and your comments that we hope will be numerous and fiery!

7:20 p.m. : The match of the Blues is fast approaching! For the occasion, I will have with me (or almost) my colleagues Raphaël Godet and Pierre Godon, who will make you live the meeting against Morocco from Doha. Greetings to them!

6:52 p.m. : “I’m ashamed, but I really vibrated” : they wanted to boycott the World Cup in Qatar until the end, but they cracked to follow the Blues. Our journalist Louis Boy gave the floor to some fans who, overtaken by pressure from relatives, the love of football or spite in the face of record audiences, turned on their TV again for the quarter-final between France and England.

6:44 p.m. : Konaté and Fofana holders with the Blues. Sick, Upamecano is on the bench, Rabiot is not even on the score sheet. #FRAMAR #Qatar2022 https://t.co/NB1snlg4GY

6:46 p.m. : Adrien Rabiot is forfeited and Dayot Upamecano will be on the bench for the semi-final against Morocco. Our journalist on the spot, Denis Ménétier, tells us more about the composition of the Blues team.

5:32 p.m. : The audiences do not necessarily reflect it, but there are still football fans who boycott the World Cup matches in Qatar. Others, however, after several weeks of keeping their word, have finally cracked and will be in front of their TV tonight. Several of them told me of their disappointment that the movement did not take hold, their scruples, sometimes the mockery of their relatives, but also their pride in having defended their convictions a little.
