He’s going to kill her when he gets home, I’m not joking. I hope someone who knows her checks on her. A man got jumped in the water after hitting you? He’s going to kill you.

Your dad is not wrong. I even have written on it once.
Morocco shows up as MAR on scoreboards because FIFA's country codes do not always come from the English name.
A lot of them come from French, which is the working language FIFA has used since it was founded in Paris in 1904. Morocco in French is Le Maroc. First three letters: MAR.
And Morocco is not alone. This happens more than people realise.
Germany is GER, which tracks in English. But then you get to Ivory Coast, which shows up as CIV, from Côte d'Ivoire. Algeria is ALG from Algérie. Haiti is HAI from Haïti. Switzerland is SUI from Suisse. Spain is ESP from España. Iran appears as IRN.
The pattern runs across the entire scoreboards.Some countries are also coded based on whatever their language is.
FIFA built its codes in an era when French dominated international administration, and colonial history shaped which language a country's name was recorded in first.
That legacy is still sitting quietly on every scoreboard at this World Cup.
I hope you have learned something today.

My fellow Zimbabweans 🇿🇼in South Africa🇿🇦, please note that South Africans owe us absolutely nothing; what owes us everything is the ZANU PF government that has destroyed livelihoods back home and forced you to become illegal immigrants.
The fact that you are hungry and sleeping on pavements in the cold is not South Africans’ problem but it is our own ZANU PF government’s failure to provide you with transport on time and process you to come back home before the 30 June ultimatum that you were given to pack and leave.
ZANU PF is sending bribed Zimbabwean celebrities with fake sympathy to provide humanitarian aid and transport so they appear as saints while they are the real devil’s advocates who want to make our South African neighbors appear as evil for demanding their country back.
Please come back home, let’s suffer together so that we get the courage to confront the source of our problems, which is ZANU PF.
Let’s stop the blame game, instead let’s thank South Africans for being very kind to us during our time of need. We have clearly overstayed our welcome! Let us not be ungrateful visitors!
