3 – After their penalty shoot-out victory over the Netherlands, Morocco have now progressed from three knockout round ties at the FIFA World Cup, as many as all other African nations combined in the history of the competition.
Kings.
At 0-1, Mohamed Ouahbi brought on three U21 players:
Gessime Yassine (20)
Samir El Mourabet (20)
Chemsdine Talbi (21)
This was not desperation. This was bravery. Morocco’s young talent is simply outstanding 🇲🇦🔝
Marco Van Basten in 2016: “These are stupid choices; they are stupid boys who should have had a little patience... How can you be stupid enough to opt for Morocco when you are eligible for the Dutch team?”
10 years on and I think we know who the stupid one was.
@TouchlineX 7% possession in extra time just to drag the match to penalties and let Quinten Timber carry out the classic Arsenal family tradition of bottling it. Absolute cinema
Atajando el penal clave CON UNA SOLA MANO, el héroe popular más grande del mundo sigue dandonos alegrías. Gracias vieja por hacerme hincha de Marruecos, otro batacazo más y van. Yassine Bounou es mi héroe.
