The Moroccan national football team is indeed the African champion we all know, despite the fact that they were robbed of their supposed African Cup of Nations trophy. Now the evidence has become very clear as to who the real champion is. Among other African countries, Morocco's style and level of football are quite different and aren't comparable to how other Africans play their games. They've eliminated one of the host nations, Canada, and it was a clear thrashing.

Morocco is a very strong team. I considered Morocco as  the favorite in the match against the host Canada. And they  performed brilliantly.

Canada attacked more in the match. They made a total of 10 shots. On the other hand, Morocco attacked relatively less, but each of their attacks was well-planned. The most interesting thing is that in this match, moroccan players managed to make  only 5 shots. 4 of them were on  target. And Morocco managed to score  3 goals. Canada's defense and  goalkeeper's performance were very weak.

I was expecting Senegal to defend their goal and not feel relaxed over the win they already put over their opponent but it was unfortunate that they were thinking they had won the match when the ref has not blown the final whistle. I have noticed this thing about African teams. They tend to feel relaxed whenever they are winning a match forgetting that till ref blows the final whistle, anything can happen as long as the match is still very much active and running.

This is the second time Belgium is doing a comeback. Before the previous game against Senegal, Belgium was 2 goals down against Japan. Belgium actually came back to win 3:2. History actually repeated itself against Senegal. Belgium won again 3:2 after being 2 goals down. However, Belgium will face the United States on Tuesday next week. They have to be careful because what may have worked for them against Japan and Senegal may give a different outcome when they face the United States.

I have come to realise that teams do not take cognizance of previous matches to study the pattern of their opponents before going into the pitch with them. This has repeated itself in this year's tournament with various teams losing out to the same come back pattern with the same come back strategy. How I wish most African teams were very observant of their opponents and also studied the previous games of their opponents, they would not have lost to them, maybe they could have used another formation and tactics to play them and this I believe is what the white teams does hence you see them winning most of the African teams at last minute of their games.

The Canada goal keeper has nothing to do with the number of goals they conceded even though towards the end of the second half, he became too restless that he had to leave is goal keeping duty and went on to make attempt on scoring goals. the Canada teams felt like they were the better side and played like winning was there's. when it became obvious that things was not working the way they thought it would, they became more aggressive and opened their team up which gave morocco more chance of scoring more goals.

The implication of this result is that all the teams that Morocco will be coming against will be conscious that if they open the game too much that morocco can easily take advantage of that. the coming opposition is not an easy one but the only way to show the world that they are champion worthy is to approach that game like any of the other games they have played and won in.

I don’t understand why people say things like “so and so is the last hope for Africa nations in the World Cup” but they don’t say that about European teams. If France wins the World Cup, I’m certain there won’t be headlines like Europe won the World Cup. If Morocco or Ghana happens to win the World Cup, can Nigerian fans use it as bragging rights when discussing football?

Morocco is the only nation in Africa that plays like the top teams in other continent. Reason is because they don't have any inferiority complexity like the rest of African nations. They performed well in 2022 world cup where they beat teams like Spain and Portugal. Now they are on the same path. I know that they don't have any chance of winning the world cup yet ,but soon Morocco might be the first African Nation to ever lift that trophy. Maybe in 2030 if they continue to build their squad like this. I think where their journey will probably end is in the Quarter finals against France. It's going to be a tight game but France will secure a victory there.

I was enjoying your statement until you spoiled everything by saying that moroco doesn't have any chance of winning the world cup as if you already know the winner, Morroco has everything a team needs to win the FIFA world cup, just name one thing other teams have that Morocco is lacking in their team, didn't you see what they did to Canada? Perhaps you think Canada is small right, as long as this tournament is still ongoing, we don't know whoy gonna win trophy, we have our opinions, I understand that there teams we see as favorite to win the world cup no doubt but we should not forget about the surprises we have seen so far.
