I am laughing because it seems obvious. They have been the most impressive African representative, IMHO.

They haven't lost a game yet since the WCQs started and the WC proper , they've scored 34 goals and let in only 3 goals

8 wins, 2 draws and 0 loses

Morocco played a great game against Belgium.

1st of all, Morocco played a superior tactical game, relying on massed counters. They rightfully assessed Belgium didn't have the speed up front. And correctly judged Belgium didn't have decisive enough possession to craft good chances in the final 1/3.

2nd, Morocco is extremely fit, good on the ball, and simply strong collectively. They weren't intimidated at all. Not against Croatia or Belgium. Again, in both games they set their tactics and aims...and played it to perfection.

They will look now to win against Canada and most likely will. If I have any critique, it's that they lack a true star. They're a collective of very good players, but don't have that 1 talisman that will matter in a tight game against a top opponent.

Kudos to the Atlas Lions. They're playing like it. They just need to finish out against Canada.

Disagree, Ziyech is an obvious star.

I would also add Bono, Hakimi also certified stars Mazraoui and Amrabat you can make a strong argument.

Fair points. I like Hakimi because PSG is a big club and he's their right back. I was thinking more of somebody being a star on such team, one of the better players in that position...capable of leading the team.

I'm thinking of Neymar for Brazil. Messi for Argentina. For example, I don't think England has such a player, a clear leader and orchestrator. Maybe I'm wrong...and some players from Morocco make it higher up the chain after a great WC?

Again, I give props to Morocco. Solid team. Can go far.
