Defending champions France take part in an extra special World Cup semifinal on Wednesday, but their focus will be on their own history-making.
Morocco will be the first African nation to contest a World Cup semifinal after throwing Portugal out of the competition in the last eight, wrecking Cristiano Ronald's farewell tournament.
With nothing to lose and the African and the Arab worlds right behind them, they'll be determined to party all the way to the final.
Olivier Giroud scored the winner as an unconvincing France beat England in the quarterfinal, moving Les Blues one step closer to back-to-back World Cups. No team has achieved that feat since Brazil in 1962.
