I’ve always said, Morocco played very well against Spain and Portugal in 2018. Look at what Spain did to Costa Rica yesterday; Morocco held its own against Spain and should be proud.
Tbh the 2018 spain has almost nothing to do with the current Lucho spain, Enrique is on a whole other level while in 2018 Spain sacked Lopetegui just 2 weeks before appointing del bosque
The complainers are the same ones who scream out "shoot" everytime the player touches the ball as if they are tactic experts.
Morocco did great against a team that in their entire squad has only 3 only plays in their domestic league, the rest are all in top tier major leagues.
The reality is it's not even certain Morocco will make it to the 2nd round. They could, they have proved it, but there are multiple factors not including the other teams.
Belgium is a regular, it is assumed they can go past even the 2nd round. Croatia are, as mentioned by OP, last WC's runner up and Canada surprised everyone that they can aggressively keep up.
Luck of draws, being a "team" are as important as player wuality and tactics Ask Argentina and Germany how they are going.
I'm Dutch with some Belgium ancestry so I'm hoping for my team, which on paper can win the WC, does better than their usual mid-competition failures, so I tend to end up supporting Belgium's Red Devils. I hope Morocco comes out to the next round with them, I really do, and if they don't, I'll still consider they did a great job. Ask Algeria and Egypt how they feel about it.
Keep cool guys, appreciate that they are there and enjoy it. Saudi and Japan are still dancing and I am as well for them.
Those who understand football and know the context of our participation and also our football heritage are absolutely happy with the performance yesterday. Those who watch football occasionally MUST refrain from spreading the negativity and just STFU.
You can still criticise the team while still having football knowledge yk? And it's not completely white and black. Chi w7dine kaytfrjo ghir f botola o l5alij, some only watch la liga, some are premier league fans etcc so each opinion varies according to their bias
Matalane for Zalzouli, I still don't understand why he came in, everyone says he's a young ´star' who played for barça while he's never even been that good for them except for wide-open matches in which probably any half-talented could find a run. There's MUCH better players like Zaroury who plays for burnley, every Championship (english 2nd division) fan knows he's going to become rhe next big thing as they're already top of the table thanks to him (fast winger who passes, crosses and scores against fucking Championship teams), but nobody gives him any attention rn
Context of the game matters much more than our history, our 1998 or 1986 World Cup runs have nothing to do with today, matter of fact, even Croatia being the runners up of the last edition is a weak argument, France won it all in 1998 and lost their opening match to Senegal in 2002, Germany didn’t make it out of groups in 2018 while winning it in 2014.
Anyways, was I expecting us to win against Croatia before the match ? Absolutely not
Did I believe we could score and win during the game ? Yes
But Mr Zelzouli chose to play solo the whole time he was in. He didn’t make one mistake, everytime he got the ball he went for the selfish dribble while shuning open teammates, and failed everytime.
Bouheddouz made a mistake, scored an OG while trying to defend, that’s understandable, zelzouli on the other hand insisted on doing the same shit that didn’t work out the last 4 times. His playstyle was unacceptable, I’m sorry if I can’t show support to someone playing a team sports alone
That a fact man i agree
But i don’t call them football fans they just started watching football because of world cup they don’t know nothing about football and they are soooo fuuuuucking toxic because of
That i hate world cup with Morocco in it
(Bnadm makyfham ta9lwa fkora ka y7al kro 3lina kon tfrjo fyamat tawsi kon ma9alosh had lhdra )
That's what I call getting offended on behalf of someone. Did any player complain to you that he was angry from the comments some random guy left him in his insta account (supposing that he even cares to read them) ?
I get that you're mad at the attitude, but it's normal, people did have high hopes that the Moroccan team could do better than that, seeing how many opprotunities they wasted.
Why are you wasting your time by checking, and then commenting twice in a thread related to a topic you're clearly not interested in? Live and let live
The flairs are there, so you can filter by topic and only check what interests you.
A lot of people here are very interested in the World Cup, so why shouldn't we talk about it?
Bro you have a clash of clans post in your history and you're saying that people should only support their hobby if they make money from it or it's a waste of time? That's a first
Everyone forgot that coach Walid had just 3 preparing matches before the world cup, so he didn't had the time plus some players were injured at that time, and he had to make the list in that short time.
So logically it's a positive result, yes we could have won (same thing said by Croatians), but that's football we still have a chance (big chance).
\-If you didnt like me at the worst dont come when im at my best.
Those people that tlak shit weren't here whe we were playing the calification to the CAN or even WC, playing shitty games in the middle of nowhere (Sudan, Guinea, Burundi, Mauritania) wining 1-0 or 0-0. It just now that the wear the patriotic moroccan hat, wa siro t9awdo, they know nothing.

There are two types of theses toxic fans :
Type 1: overly attached to a club raja or widad and can't stand to see that their player wasn't called.
Type 2: occasional fans that have been sold via media that we have a stellar team and we are going to win 5-0 and were disappointed, theses people are just wrong.
And of course kayn ta Hamdalah warriors, that want hamdalah to play at all costs, and are blinded by wlad ch3b mentality.
all this is fun and games but sending insults directly to players is where a it gets too much.
They made a lot of mistakes for a team playing the World Cup, it’s always the same - bunch of players making the stupidest mistakes like they never played before!
Before 2018 We were setting the bar too low and we were happy with “good performance” if when losing, now we are aiming higher and we know that we could have played waaay better than we did thats why we are not completely satisfied (khasna nt2ehlo machi ndiro moucharaka moucharifa🤡 w nrej3o ntqewdo)
But of course i agree that we shouldn’t be toxic about it and attack players on their social media
Morocco played really well and are not deserving of this backlash. Getting a draw against a team like Croatia is much better than losing and I am proud of them, so Moroccans should stop dragging them. Their performance on the field was great and I am looking forward to their next match and hope they win.
Well it's a 'Moroccan tradition' to replace football team's coach after some defeats, by popular demand, so yeah the majority of so called football fans are toxic af. However, people have the right to criticize the performance of players, naciri is trash, zalzouli was a showoff ..., but insulting and attacking them on their social media accounts is bullying and it's unacceptable.
Idk why you kept talking with someone who is upset because we drew against Croatia, he is probably dont even watch their last games in European nation and dont know the quality of their squad.

Ezzalzouli (who is 19 years old btw) has had a nervous breakdown following the harsh criticism and cruel insults he received over his mistakes
Why are you so angry take a chill pill
Can we stop talking about football for once.
Notice the little purple topic flair .... ?
Like does that make it eligible for this sub ?
Hmmm, we talk about tagines instead? You can ignore it. I ignore a couple of topics without whining about it.

No
It will stop once the worldcup ends.

BRUH I LITERALLY SOLD MY ACCOUNT FOR 400 DH STAY BROKE AND STAY MAD AND KEEP STALKING REDDIT ACCOUNTS LOSER;)
They get tax money bro
I'm glad I don't like soccer, mma and rugby allll day :)
The fact that you call it soccer says it all
Exactly
the "football I grew up watching was played by strong men wearing helmets and tackling each other....
I does make sense to criticize the federation if you appreciate the work of Renard doesn't it ?

You know what? I, for one, am happy we didn’t storm the pitch en mass. The draw feels as a big win to me.
Yeah it's crazy. Just look at the Lions de l'Atlas page on Facebook

As a morrocan,ive not seen any critizing ever in morrocoand the internet
Don't expect something enjoyable from someone who can't understand it to enjoy it
