He reads turnovers like a veteran, finishes with either foot, and can’t move to Europe until he’s 18. That’s October. Real Madrid, PSG, Barca, City and Milan are all waiting. Tonight he started a World Cup knockout game at the Azteca. Only Pelé was younger.

At 5’6” his low centre of gravity lets him shield and turn in spaces bigger midfielders can’t. Comfortable between the lines, in the half space, cutting inside or threading the outside pass. Defenders can’t predict which way he goes.
What makes Mora different isn’t the records. He scans constantly before the ball arrives, receives under pressure with 90.4% accuracy and completes more passes in the final third than any U21 midfielder in Liga MX. 🇲🇽 #FIFAWorldCup
@BenSteiner00 Canada were 122nd in the world in 2014. Now 30th, into the round of 16 for the first time in their history, and about to face Morocco who went from 92nd to 7th over the same period. Two federations that decided to actually build something.
The #CanMNT will get to take on a Canadian in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
For those who don’t now, Morocco’s star goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was born in Montreal.
Canada looking to avenge the 2-1 loss from Qatar four years ago — with much greater stakes.
@OneFootball Morocco were 92nd in the FIFA rankings in June 2015. They’re 7th now, with a historic peak of 6th during this tournament. This isn’t a surprise anymore, it’s a project.

At the 2022 World Cup, Morocco beat Belgium in the groups, got a draw against Croatia and then beat Spain and Portugal in the knockouts.
Now at the 2026 World Cup, they got a draw against Brazil and just knocked out Netherlands. IT'S INCREDIBLE! 🇲🇦👏

Morocco were 92nd in the FIFA rankings in June 2015. They’re 7th now, with a historic peak of 6th during this tournament. Same nation that reached a World Cup semi-final in 2022. This isn’t a surprise anymore, it’s a project. 🇲🇦 #FIFAWorldCup
Riad’s handling Brobbey’s physicality well so the Dutch need a different route through,maybe wide quicker rather than forcing it centrally.Morocco look more dangerous on the counter.If this stays open like the first half,Morocco have the better chance of nicking it. #FIFAWorldCup
Paraguay make history! 🇵🇾
After scoring their first-ever @FIFAWorldCup knockout goal, they went on to defeat Germany on penalties and secure a spot in the Round of 16 👏
Nagelsmann finally moved Musiala into the half spaces at halftime and Germany looked completely different. Brown overlapping, Wirtz cutting inside — that’s all it took. Should’ve done it from the start. 🇩🇪 #FIFAWorldCup
The real question is whether Germany’s defence holds when Almiron gets space to run into on the counter. That’s where this game gets decided. 🇩🇪🇵🇾 #FIFAWorldCup
Paraguay kept two clean sheets in a row by sitting in a deep 4-4-2 and letting nobody through the middle. That works against Turkey and Australia. Against Wirtz and Musiala finding half spaces all game, it probably won’t.
Japan outplayed Brazil for 45 minutes, scored a worldie and held them at arm’s length for most of the game, nearly went to extra time. Martinelli off the bench, 96th minute, game over. Five-time champions doing what five-time champions do. 🇧🇷 #FIFAWorldCup
