🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Morocco qualifying into the quarterfinals in flying colors:
🗣️ “Honestly, Ibra, I think Morocco should be a team named in Europe. What are these guys on. The level they’re showing is unbelievable.”
🗣️ “This is back-to-back World Cups with a place in the quarter-finals. That’s no longer a surprise, that’s consistency. You have to respect that.”
🗣️ “People said beating the Netherlands was luck. Well, you can still call it luck now. At some point you have to stop looking for excuses and admit they’re simply a top team.”
🗣️ “The way they play, the discipline, the confidence and the hunger… they now look like they’re the Brazil of Africa. Every opponent knows they’re in for a battle.”
🗣️ “Maybe France are the only team I’d confidently back against them, just maybe… But if it’s any other nation, I honestly believe Morocco have every chance of going through.”
🗣️ “We’re now at a point where asking if an African country can win the World Cup doesn’t sound unrealistic anymore. Morocco are making that dream look possible.”
🗣️ “They fear nobody, they respect everybody and they play every game believing they can win. That’s the mentality of champions.”
🗣️ “If they keep playing like this, I won’t be surprised if they become the first African nation to lift the World Cup. Right now, they look capable of beating anybody.”
CAF will always feel indebted to Morocco 🇲🇦
We criticize Morocco for dominating CAF and enjoying preferential treatment, but the uncomfortable truth is that time and again, they have stepped in to save African football from embarrassment.
Very few African countries are truly ready and willing to host CAF tournaments. Côte d’Ivoire once withdrew as hosts just weeks before a major competition and you probably can’t remember the last time a country like Nigeria 🇳🇬 hosted a CAF football tournament.
When you consistently provide infrastructure, organization, and last minute solutions, you’re bound to reap loyalty in return . Whether we like it or not.

🚨 Jose Mourinho:
"I keep saying it's harder to be Cristiano than to be Messi"
Full Interview thread.
"I keep saying that its harder to be Cristiano than to be Messi"
"Messi grew up in the team he plays for, with the teammates he plays with."
"Cristiano came from England to a team that was losing. He had to grow in the last 2 years with this team in construction."
"Messi plays as a 9 or 9.5 in about 50 squared meteres, closer to the goal with LESS defensive work"
"Cristiano on the other hand is a winger. How can a winger score the same amount of goals as a CF?"
(now its common for wingers to score as much as strikers, but not back then)
"A winger that defends. A winger that ends a game at the 94th minute with a sprint chasing Pedro in a scoring situation. A winger that in deadball situations comes 20 TIMES to his own box, because its very important to the defensive setup." 👌
"A player that isn't protected by nothing or nobody. They seem him as a huge animal. He needs to be fouled a lot of times just for the first yellow to come out."
"But with Messi, its one foul then a yellow card, and if you touch him again, you are OUT."
"Its much much harder to be Cristiano, lets stop kidding."
"So if Cristiano doesn't win the Ballon d'Or, its because he isn't very kind, doesn't sell his image very well, doesn't give interviews apologizing for a strife with a teammate on the field."
"Ballon d'Or should be given to the best ones. Ballon d'Or should be given to those who deserve them."
"It's a pity I cannot vote, because I wouldn't think twice."
