I'm not very knowledgeable about football rankings but happy for team Saudi Arabia. Hope this win encourages the sport there. Was especially pleased to see emir of Qatar waving and wearing Saudi flag.
Today Iran has secured a stunning victory against Wales with 2-0. Meanwhile Pakistani football team didn't even qualified for the World cup because a retired general was running PFF and no one could have asked any questions until FIFA banned PFF.
Clearly it was the most exciting result in this world cup. However if you look at now, you can observe how good teams bounce back from big shocks. Argentina is already in QF.
Saudia was impressive in all games, unfortunately just couldnt pull another win but way to go
I was always very fond of Morocco, my first love was a girl I met in Casablanca, however I was really sad to witness Moroccan Hooliganism in Brussels, a country that saved these people
Marrakash won today's quarter final match, and now is in semi-final. I didn't even knew they had a football team, let alone that they would reach the semi finals. Just fantastic !!
When I visited Morocco a while back, they were starting their accomplishments in 5K running and this Olympians posters were plastered all over the place. Since than they have produced great runners. I think they have some genetic advantages in running. I so hope they go all the way. This would be so amazing for the Arab/Muslim/African morale. After the first Gold Medal in 5k, that inspired so many to run. I feel same will happen with soccer.
I met with the royal family of King Hasan Tani there…lol.
Some bad stuff happened there. I was participating in the International fair, One Molvi exhibitor assaulted a Moroccan girl there, she was the assistant/ whatever of corrupt Pak Gen SOB ambassador. I was going out with Nadia, most gorgeous girl and the Pak ambassador offered her a Job at the embassy and than tried to get fresh with her…Yes we do leave tracks..
Dont have many pics left of Morocco. To this day, I regret not Marrying Nadia…
Getting back to the games, this is giving me goose bumps. We witnessed once in a life time events. I am so connected to Moroc. Such beautiful people, beautiful culture, the French influence makes it so beautiful. Their cuisine is best in the world. I loved Moroccan Tajin. Only 40 minutes by hydrophile from Gibraltar.
No other team has scored on them in 5 games, never happened in History. Big things are happening in Muslim world, this could be an instigator for Muslims to unite and join the Bricks. With Saudis, most Muslim world could follow except the Ghaddar Generals
I'm not really into football, but this world cup has been highly contentious in the media. It sickens me to see the narrative being pushed by western media outlets, chief amongst them being the British media. Their intentions are as clear as day, yet they are refusing to give into the fact that everyone's caught onto their B.S. For example; their attempts to frame Qatar for the death of Grant Wahl has massively backfired on them.
I would love for Morocco to win the cup just to rub salt into the wounds of the so-called "free world".
This is how you get respect for your culture, not by acting like dogs frothing in the mouth, cussing and screaming to force respect.
I haven’t prayed in a long time and here I am praying for the homeland of my only love. Never could locate her
It's funny to see opportunists trying to establish their ties with Morocco to promote themselves. Same happens when Pakistan wins big in cricket. Rest the of time opportunists only distance themselves from Pakistan. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Morocco has always been one of my favourite destination. I travelled there 3 times a while back and have lots of fond memories, at that time, they had amazing night life, clubs, bars, hoards of European tourists etc. King Hasan the second was a very benevolent leader. On the other hand a hell hole of nepotism, chronism and corruption will never excel at anything. I don’t really need to jump on any band wagon, I live and identify with a society that has lots to celebrate and be proud of. One of the best soccer player in the world played as a child with my sons and our previous neighbour was his coach, mentor, benefactor and now manager. All my kids played soccer. Have you ever kicked a ball, or able to run once across the field lol!!!
