Reply to comment by sumlikeitScott in 1 - Morocco are the first African team to qualify for the semi-final of a World Cup tournament - each of the previous three African sides to reach a quarter-final were all eliminated at this stage (Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002 and Ghana in 2010). Magical. by dragon8811

Romain Saïss honors people like me who bear a French first name and and Arabic last name, born and raised in France yet proud of Morrocan heritage.

There is an ongoing big push by Morocco to have a competent training center for youngsters in Salé but Morocco will not hate anything from its diaspora, would it be Dutch or French or Canadian (Bono).

This team to me symbolise how despite being from different backgrounds, when everyone gets on the same page, it's possible to do great things. Together.

What a joy to witness them succeed.

That's a solid point, I think Aguerd even went to the very first batch if I'm not mistaken.
