Morocco's dream of competing in the 2022 World Cup final was dashed after being defeated by France 2-0 in the semifinals. Despite losing and being eliminated, Morocco is indeed in the hearts of world netizens.
During the 2022 World Cup, Morocco often surprises. This African team made it to the semifinals after getting rid of a team that wasn't a can.
In the preliminary Group F, Morocco managed to win the group over Croatia which is in second place and Belgium, one of the champion candidates.
Meanwhile, in the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup, Morocco's surprises have not stopped. Spain the World Cup winners were stripped 3-0 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in normal time.
Going into the quarterfinals, Portugal awaits. Again, the Atlas Lions reversed the prediction, by sending Cristiano Ronaldo et al home in a 0-1 defeat.
Because of that, the struggle of the Moroccan National Team has stolen the attention and hearts of netizens all over the world.

"The Moroccan team lost to France against France. But I'm still proud of the Moroccan team because it has reached the quarter-finals or has reached the third championship place, that's cool, uncle.
