As an outsider to the world cup, Morocco are not expected to ruffle in Qatar, as they found themselves with Belgium, Croatia and Canada in what appeared to be a tricky group.
Walid Regragui‘s men ended up making light work of their opponents, drawing with Croatia before beating Belgium and Canada to secure top spot in Group F.
Many believed that Morocco’s World Cup journey would end against Spain in the last 16, but the African underdogs defeated the European heavyweights on penalties before booking their place in the last four with a 1-0 victory over Portugal.
The Atlas Lions were eventually knocked out by France in the semi-finals before losing to Croatia in the third-placed playoff, but they exited the tournament with their heads held high.

Having avoided defeat in 12 of their last 14 matches across all competitions – picking up eight wins along the way Morocco look set to give Brazil a run for their money in Tangier.

Menezes inherits one of the strongest teams in international football, as Brazil have lost just one of their previous 20 games inside 90 minutes, but there is a sense that major changes are needed for the five-time World Cup winners to compete at the highest level once again.
