I'm simply stating that the country cannot take all the credit. For low-income people the road is never paved for you. Simply living in a country with so much infrastructure for the game doesn't mean shit if your parents don't support your training both financially and morally.

Ironically his father is buried in Morocco. They don't even feel Dutch enough to be buried in the country and would rather be be buried home despite the huge expenses that entails.

As if their parents didn't work their asses off for them to afford training in those academies. In his last interview with LA Marca, Hakimi spoke about how his mom worked as a cleaner and his dad as a street vendor and his siblings sacrificed too because his parents prioritized his training. It wasn't easy for them whatsoever nor for their families.

FYI, you don't need to be born in the country to feel Moroccan when the culture and traditions are strongly upheld at home. Moroccans born abroad have an even stronger connection to their roots because they always feel like outsiders in their European communities.

Ensiry jumped 2.79 (the highest jump goal in the history of the world cup) and scored a goal that was well built up for. How's it luck?

There is nothing strange about that, they're still Moroccans in diaspora with dual nationalities. They love their country and want to represent it internationally. How's it strange?

Nope. The last time Morocco went past the groups stage was in 1986 and lost to Germany in round of 16.

Interestingly enough, he said recently in an interview with LA Marca that he played for Spanish youth team but didn't feel he belonged, it wasn't his place.

Three of the performers this world cup: Ensiry, Ounahi, and Aguerd trained in Mohamed 6th academy as youngesters.

I love this! 😆 So here's a lesson to enlighten your ignorant ass: when Ziyech asks for translation when reporters ask him in Arabic, it's because they're speaking MSA (Modern standard Arabic) , not Darija (Moroccan Arabic). MSA is taught at schools in Morocco and you find it in official documents but we don't speak it, we speak Darija our dialect and there are many regions in the country where Amazigh is spoken. He does speak some Darija and he also speaks Amazigh which is the language he grew up with at home since his family is from North east Morocco and of Amazigh origin.

So the last time that happened was 20 years ago!
