KingLennon:
Bet on Morocco to win on penalties and France to win the world cup. Stake whatever you can and cash out for the Xmas ʘ‿ʘ

God1000:
Croatia will beat Morocco, that's what I want.

I remember supporting Morocco in their match against Spain, I was so tensed up praying for them to win throughout the game but i later got disappointed since they claim to be Arabs

motionarena:
when did they claim Arab?

Even their coach said they are representing Africa.

You just picking nonsense stories from social media. Adamu!

CBR100:
who africa support help, ur support wey no carry nigeria go world cup
morocco are Arab by tribe and Africa by continent

am surprise alot of ppl no know d difference btw tribe, country, and continent

a dutch man living in south africa (he is dutch by tribe , africa by continent and south africa by country

arantess:
3rd place matched should be cancelled

Don't make sense to me

youn:
You guys have started again with these your Arab of a thing, if you are supporting Croatia support Croatia and stop giving excuses, I don’t know why Morocco own is different you know most of North Africa are Arab so what is wrong if they dedicate their win to Arab ? Example like someone from the northern Nigeria win maybe a track event and dedicate it to Islam or all Muslim community does that makes him/her less Nigeria? Or maybe someone from India dedicates his/her win to the whole of Hinduism, does that makes him/her less Asia ? Support who you want to support and stop giving excuses

Haylel:
Because it doesn't make sense to you, it should be cancelled?

Does that make sense to you?

AreaFada2:
Yes, they are first of all Arabs. They moved from Arabian Peninsula after end of Roman Empire, bringing Islam.
Same way we are blacks or Igbo, Edo, Yoruba, Kanuri before being Nigerian or African. Geographically Morocco may be on the African continent, racially, culturally and spiritually, they are Middle East/Arabs. Fact.

I support Moroccans because of football politics. If Morocco or indeed all African nations did well, the argument to give Africa more slots in FIFA WC would be stronger. Africa should have around 7 slots. Nigeria, Egypt and or Algeria/SA presence in Qatar 2022 would have added more African flavour.

Fact is that France, England, Dutch, Portuguese and even German teams are more African than Morocco team otherwise.

I never support Argentina due to their history with black people. It used to have one of the highest concentrations of blacks in South America around 1850s.

How could Portuguese and Spaniards fill neighbouring Brazil and other countries around like Columbia with African slaves and somehow left Argentina all white? Who worked the fields that generated so much wealth?

Today, who knows that Tango, the national Argentine dance comes from the Congolese (Kikongo) word "Ntangu" for the sun, a dance mimicking the sun's movement through the sky? I guess very few.

As blacks were either systematically eliminated or forced to flee to nearby countries, white Europeans especially Italians were shipped in from Europe. Italy didn't exist as a single country then as it is now. Bits of it were under Austrian, Spanish and other people's control or were small principalities. Emigration was attractive to Italians.

For a former Spanish colony, people don't ask why so many Argentines bear Italian surnames?

Removing politics or history from football/sports or anything is an illusion.

If not why is Russia often not allowed to participate as a nation in Olympics?

I always wondered why and how some Argentine names always sound Italian .....wow! Now I understand.

As for Argentina they don't even hide their negrophobia ...Even when Nigeria played Argentina and we were proving hard to beat we all saw how erratic and mad maradonna became on the pitch, pouring all sort of racist slurs on our players..

psalmz:
they are Arabs

Morphinne:
They should at least give regards to we Africans because geographically, they are Africans. I saw their captain’s interview after the win against Portugal and I was utterly disappointed at his blatant disregard for the Africans rooting for them. Why should I support a country that had severally wanted to join Europe and the league of the Mediterranean countries in the past?
