Everyone loves an underdog and football fans have been treated to one of the greatest Cinderella stories in World Cup history.

Morocco flew under the radar during the group phase.

 

In a four-team tussle which included Canada, Croatia and Belgium, Walid Regragui’s men finished top with seven points from nine.

It’s no coincidence that Morocco are doing well either.

The African giants have conceded just one goal at the entire tournament, which was an own goal against Canada in a 2-1 win.

The Atlas Lions have already put Belgium, Spain, and Portugal to the sword and became the first team from the continent to reach the World Cup semi-finals, a truly remarkable feat.
