Morocco is the big surprise of the World Cup in Qatar, the national team coached by Walid Regragui is confident of a presence in the final (whether small or big remains to be seen). The Africans have the lowest draw value of the rest of the teams in the competition, but also a big advantage: they have nothing to lose, they are the “Cinderella” of the treasury.
