LOL.. when I first saw this thread, not even in my wildest dreams I imagined that it will stay alive up to the very end of the competition. To be fair, I wasn't expecting any of the African teams to progress from the group stage. And now we have Morocco who will play tomorrow against Croatia for the 3rd place. And it is going to benefit them financially as well. If they end up with the 3rd price, they will receive $27 million. Even in case they lose, there is no need to get disappointed. The fourth placed team will be getting $25 million from the FIFA.
Same here, I never expected such brilliant performances by the African team. Although many of them started poorly like Argentina, but they met up later and made the continent proud. Morocco is now a role model in the African team, they have even been given the opportunity to host the club's world cup of 2023, which is part of what they did on the pitch apportioned to them.
I hope their performance in this year's world cup is not a mistake. If they could replicate it in the next world cup, then Africa is going somewhere in the history of football.
