One fan said: ‘Morocco we are also the best team. Absolutely brilliant performance, but it just lacked cutting edge to score. France have been lucky/clinical in the last 2 games’.

While one said: ‘Morocco is the biggest takeaway from this World Cup. A sensational team that will inspire an entire generation. The whole team, the manager, everyone was just amazing but my favorite players from this batch will be Boufal, Amrabat and Ounahi! Look, you’ve done football proud.’

Another said: ‘What a pride of Morocco! Nobody gave them a chance, not even coming out of the group stage. But not only did they top their group, they also defeated Belgium, then Spain and Portugal, respectively, by knockouts. What they did at this World Cup will remain forever in our hearts.’

While others thanked Morocco saying: ‘Thank you Morocco for what you have given to our Muslim community. You made us proud, you gave us hope, and you brought us together in a way I’ve never seen before. This is worth more than any other trophy.

Another added: ‘Thank you for this amazing World Cup, Morocco! I am very proud of this team, the best WC ever! Morocco made us dream, and showed the world who we are!!! inshallah we will win the 3rd position.’

While a fan from Morocco insisted that his time would come. They wrote: ‘One day, comrades, our history will be different. For now we are grateful, because we had a moment of loving football again, despite all the sorrows, from commercialization to corruption, and believing in another world, another order.

Meanwhile, football fans in general congratulated Morocco on what they have achieved. One said: ‘Well played Morocco. Experience gained in the day, France has been here before’. Another added: “France won the match but Morocco won our hearts #MoroccoVsFrance.”

Another added: ‘Congratulations Morocco, you did well and showed you were the superior red and green team.’

While one ended by saying: ‘What a joy that Morocco put up a tough fight in what was nothing short of a nail-biting match! You guys played very well!’
