Africa finally has a team in the World Cup semifinals, and so does the Arab world. Know more:
Morocco delivered a seminal moment in the nearly 100-year history of soccer’s biggest tournament, beating Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal team, 1-0, Saturday in another shocking result in the first World Cup staged in the Middle East.
Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning goal in the 42nd minute to continue an improbable run that has generated an outpouring of pride in the Arab world, inspiring displays in Arab identity from fans in different countries. If this is the end for Ronaldo at international level, he’ll finish with 118 goals—a record in men’s soccer—and a European Championship title but not soccer’s biggest prize. He only got as far as the semifinals at the World Cup, in 2006.
“Why shouldn’t we dream of winning the World Cup?” Regragui said. “If you don’t dream, you don’t get anywhere. It doesn’t cost you to dream.”
