Dhe Moroccan journalist, who was asked about the sensational success over Spain on a BBC program on Wednesday, still somewhat incredulous, presented the group of football nations in whose company his country’s national team is now: France, England, Holland, Portugal, Croatia, Argentina, Brazil. And of course Morocco. Reaching the quarter-finals was celebrated throughout the Arab world as an Arab triumph.
And Walid Regragui, the Moroccan coach, even sees a future where such victories are less sensational. The next generation, he said, should at least dare to dream of the world title.
