Morocco will leave Qatar proud and happy after becoming the first African or Arabic team to reach the last four at a World Cup but they should strive for more in the future, coach Walid Regragui said on Saturday. FIFAWorldCup

Morocco were beaten 2-1 by Croatia on Saturday in the third-place playoff, but Regragui lauded his young players saying they did everything he asked of them in the tournament, having beaten elite teams including Belgium, Portugal and Spain on their way to the semi-finals.

Regragui said that his side, who had the best defensive record in Qatar before losing 2-0 to France on Wednesday, felt the physical toll of an intense tournament after playing their seventh match. Morocco’s campaign in Qatar gave African football a huge morale boost after none of the five African sides made it out of the group phase at Russia 2018.

Why 'Arabic'? It has no geograhical base (as in Arabia) , only language that unites them. This creates controversy and disunity among nations and is the bane of human existence. FIFA should also ban players performing religious actions on field!

Just that statement alone.... They must be branded as Arab what what and leave Africa fuckn arrogant nation. Our ancestors dealt with them

Arabic and not African.

Pls refere to them as Arabic football gods of Africa dealt with them accordingly
