the whole "rigged for Argentina" online discourse is a great case study on how the general population is frighteningly easy to manipulate with simple propaganda. and how it's especially effective on the less educated, or "casuals"/"larpers"

O maior artilheiro da história da Seleção Brasileira perdendo tempo pra provocar o goleiro da Noruega ao marcar um gol de penalti irrelevante nos acrescimos de uma eliminacão nas oitavas, um dos momentos mais patéticos já vividos por essa camisa

@Hay_zedd01 Because you need a bare minimum of professionalism, structure and infrastructure to be taken seriously, you do not have that, secondly Yamal was always proud to be Moroccan and was rooting for morocco against Spain in 2022, the only thing that made him choose spain is the EUROS
English
Y’all will never call Mbappe to play for Cameroon or Olise to Nigeria
It’s always Yamal

Imagine how insane it would have been if Lamine Yamal chose Morocco instead of Spain

@TheAthleticFC His mother birthed him there and they came back to Morocco, grew up in Casablanca and played since childhood in Wydad Casablanca, he has no ties whatsoever to Canada, trying to create non existent stories. And u say in « depth analysis » in ur bio, pathetic journalism.

Morocco's game against Canada in Houston will bring a special moment for Yassine Bounou.
The goalkeeper was born in Montreal, where, back in 1991, his father was a university physics professor.
The family returned to Casablanca, Morocco, when Bounou was three years old.
Two decades later, his country of birth came calling. Canada’s then national team coach Benito Floro, who managed the side between 2013 and 2016, got in touch.
“Benito Floro asked me to come play for him,” Bounou told his then La Liga club Sevilla’s TV channel in 2022. “But I’d grown up in Morocco, played for their underage teams, and even some senior games. It was always my dream to play for them.”

@marouane53 Even if he touched the ball it was only a deflection from the actual cross, the offside is based on the power cross not the deflection

@futbolmundialsp Morocco is third after france and Argentina

El ganador de la Copa del Mundo claramente será uno de estos equipos.
Aquí estaremos todos de acuerdo.

@BrianKarchner @nickbateman33 They would’ve had the same matchups had it been the round of 16, it’s just the 32 and supposed to be easier
English
@nickbateman33 Netherlands and Japan would've had the same matchups even in the previous World Cup format, and Sweden just wouldn't have even advanced, so they can't complain.
Sometimes you just get unlucky.
English
Come to think of it, this group got absolutely screwed over by the format.
- Netherlands had to play Morocco (#6 FIFA ranking)
- Japan had to play Brazil (#5 FIFA ranking)
- Sweden had to play France (#1 FIFA ranking)
Maybe just me but that doesn't seem very fair

Group F is officially the first completely eliminated group from the 2026 World Cup Group E could become the second group tonight if Ecuador loses to Mexico (Germany, Ivory Coast and Curacao already eliminated)

@JideOluwalana @tobyasky He don’t want to be CAF president, he’ll be Morocco’s prime minister this fall
English
@tobyasky Make him apply for CAF president role now.
He shouldn't just develop Morocco footbal alone, develop Africa too.
English
This is the man I referenced in my post. His name is Fouzi Lekjaa, the President of Morocco's Royal Football Federation.
He became President in 2014, and has contributed in the transformation of Moroccan football. Things do not happen by fluke.
TobyWrites@tobyasky
Let me tell you guys something. Everything you see happening with Morocco is not a fluke. They’re conscious about their growth. You see that man the players were throwing up at the end, his name is Fouzi Lekjaa, he’s their football federation president, he’s one of the major guys behind their transformation. Let me tell you few of their strategies. Around 2009, they started by building state-of-the-art facilities across the country, no embezzlement, nobody stole the money for their personal gain. The goal was for every child to have access to a facility, no matter where they are. In fact, they built some facilities that had multiple pitches, world class pitches brethren. They mandated their league teams to also maintain their academies. Some of those young boys from various academies were part of the players that won the u20 World Cup last year. That’s one of the things Fouzi Lekjaa did. It starts with the youth. Many of the teams also have women team, it was a mandate. That’s why you see their women’s league growing , as well as the women national team. They played the final with Nigeria last two years or so. They’ll start winning it soon. It didn’t stop there, they’ve become so attractive that players in diaspora with Moroccan heritage can play for them. You can be eligible to play for France or England and you will choose Morocco, as it stands, because they’re not a small team anymore. They’re very attractive. Those state of the art facilities are now being used to host tournaments, they’ve hosted many in recent years including the last AFCON. In 4 years’ time, they’ll host a World Cup. This is a country that took their growth seriously. They have a great leadership. The good thing about them taking this seriously is that their country is now known. I have a colleague at work who has gone to Morocco on holiday more than 3 times. The tourism has greatly improved, they’re now making money from all angles. Other businesses are thriving. A leadership that has vision, not the one that wants us to fry akara. Nothing happens by fluke brethren. Nothing.

@EstebanVialG I remember him from 2018 in russia he was colombia’s best player

@Bd_irB_ll So what's the answer? Letting Djoubiti, Vietnam or Oman enter? Why do you pretend like there's teams better then those euros somewhere else?

@DunnoMarley @TheOfficialFNG Just be happy you’re at the world cup with your shit team, italy cant qualify but pathetic sides like yours can ?

Mind you Scotland will be 7 times more physical than Brazil. Brazil at the end of the day is full of technical players who play football but those scots goodness me, it's Norway 1.2. hopefully will come out of it with no injuries

@AgresivoPasivo @memcculloch He’s talking about the ethnicity you dumbfuck, they all have moroccan blood and dna in them, unlike lamine yamal who is ur only good player, stop embarrassing urselves
English
The idea of an international football competition where the ethnicity of players is 'random', just defeats the entire purpose.
English
@goldenkasbah Subsahaaran africans in the comments showing exactly why their country never develop
English
@ImadBouziane Ur neighbor country already had all its media against you, and you had nothing to counter with, so you let them create whatever storyline they wanted, and people will consume it, and in this storyline you’re the bad guy, consequences of our non existent media
English
The amount of hate we’re getting from other fellow Africans on social media while all we did was hosting a world class tournament and sharing top notch hospitality with people we consider as our brothers is crazy.
All we faced was fake news, online bashing, people hate…
English
@official_esclub Europeans usually considers AFCON a joke the laugh at the pitches the infrastructure…, thats what they expect from AFCON, we changed that to w world cup level standards, and too bad the ones who didnt appreciate were’t Europeans, it was fellow Africans that were u ungrateful
English
Morocco 🇲🇦 has hosted several CAF tournaments in recent years, WAFCON editions, the CAF Women’s Champions League, Africa Futsal tournaments, various CAF age grade competitions, and CAF Awards on multiple occasions, as well as different CAF AGMs and executive meetings.
These are not intentional favours, but they have always been CAF’s emergency fallbacks due to their infrastructure and funding readiness. Whenever CAF needs certainty, and speed, Morocco is often their safest option.
Rather than complain, other African nations should focus on improving their infrastructure and readiness. But until that happens, Morocco will continue to enjoy these benefits.
Is it right? No. Are we encouraging it? No.
But in football administration, even in life generally, he who pays the piper will always dictate the tune.
