TOPCRUISE:
Belgium, Spain and Portugal fell to the morrocans.
That game was WOW! shocked
3 records created:
1) The first African team to qualify to the semi final of the world cup.
2) The first African team to win a knock out game in 90 minutes.
3) The first African team to win a knockout stage with 10 men.

France and England will be on their toes now.


Also the first African team to not conceded against four European teams in world cup.

Morroco came from.no where and reach semi final


Is Morocco an Africa nation....they are not member of the AU
Morroco is bonified member of African union and were looking forward to join Ecowas at a point because of their Southern part called Western Sahara

They wanted to join Ecowas for economic reasons and preventing western Sahara from gaining independence.

Below is an opinion page I wrote before Morocco took on Portugal:

Morocco vs Portugal

After Portugal trashed Switzerland by 6-1, in the second round of 2022 World cup, most sports writers are now favoring Portugal to beat Morocco. I disagree. And here is why. These same sport writers have predicted Brazil beating Croatia. And they had also predicted Netherlands beating Argentina. Were they right? The short answer is not. As we have seen since World cup games began barely two weeks ago, any team can win. What happened on a football field yesterday, dose translate into what will happen in the field today. So, I write to say that Morocco is not out until they are beaten in the football field by the Portuguese. In 2018 World cup, Morocco lost to Portugal by 1-0. I got that. But 2018 is not 2022. Today, most of those players who played for Morocco in 2018 are not in 2022 tournament.Now, did Morocco learn anything from that game? I bet you they did. And if Morocco did not learn anything about Portugal in their 2018 defeat, here is what I recommend they should do differently today. I want to recommend Morocco National team in this world cup to watch 2022 u17 women world cup videos featuring participating countries to learn how to beat Portugal and advance to first ever African appearance in Fifa world cup final. Morocco should do the following if they truly want to beat Portugal: First, stop dribbling the ballafter crossing mid field. Second, shoot the ball at the Portugal goal post after crossing the 50-yard line. U17 women World cup matches show that chances of defeating your opponents when shooting the ball at goal post increase at greater rate than when dribbling the ball into the net.

Morocco became the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final and ended the hopes of Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal.

Striker Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning goal in the first half, leaping highest to beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa to the ball and heading in to spark pandemonium at Al Thumama Stadium

The north African side's supporters populated most of the venue and joyously celebrated their breakthrough moment for their continent on the global stage.

Ronaldo came off the bench in the 50th minute to equal the men's all-time appearance record of 196 in international matches, but he could not drag his side back into the contest.

Morocco were happy to play on the counter and grabbed the opener just before the break when En-Nesyri headed in from Yahya Attiyat-Allah's cross.

Portugal skipper Bruno Fernandes came agonisingly close to levelling just minutes later but a brilliant individual effort struck the crossbar.

Decimated by injuries, Morocco sat back for the majority of the second half and Yassine Bounou brilliantly tipped over Joao Felix's drive - the closest they came to an equaliser.

Morocco striker Walid Cheddira was sent off for a second yellow card in eight minutes of additional time but Portugal could not find the equaliser as their last-four hopes were dashed.



CONGRATULATIONS MOROCCO.
CONGRATULATIONS AFRICA.



Yes, we are darling kiss


And we just got to see they have only conceded just ONE goal in 5 games......(an own goal!)

History is being made in africa countries and Nigeria will not be an exception in 2023.

Obi is a goal.

With this Victory for Morocco and for Africa, FIFA might change its mind and give us 10 or 11 Direct slots instead of 9 and a third originally proposed at 2026 WORLD CUP

Next is Morocco, Portugal should beat them black and blue so that mumu player called Boufal that gave credit to Arab nations and snubbed Africa when he was interviewed. It's safe to say these northern Africa countries don't want to be called Africans.

You guys are the only African country left in the World Cup, Africans are proud you guys are still representing the continent but una choose not to give credit to Africa and instead gave credits to some other country and continent angry

Thunder fire Boufal and other Moroccan players that did likewise.


with this your useless write up..they still manage to qualify ...jobless 1diot
