People have said to me they fancy Germany as dark horse.

People have said they fancy Ecuador or I personally fancy Colombia as a bit of a dark horse.

I think Morocco are ahead of all those teams.

Yet, there's probably Spain, France...

I think Morocco are right there on the cusp of the English, you know, in terms of my way of thinking, if who can win it.

So I think they're in with a good show.

Probably not the first one or two, but, you know, the horde of horses coming behind, Morocco were right in that pack.

Well, there were semi-finalists four years ago.

They got a very good young crop of players, won the under-20 World Cup.

And it was Ismael...

who got the opening goal there from PSV Eindhoven and it was a very well taken goal and I just felt the slickness of their passing their movement was very good in the first half hour especially yeah it was constructed really well and I know I've highlighted left back and right back but Morocco go right through the middle right through the heart of Brazil and

Zabardi's finish was lovely just dinks it over Alisson cool calm and really really collected and look I don't watch a lot of African football I wouldn't follow the Moroccan team unless you know it's a World Cup but I think a couple of people are me personally I'm sleeping on Morocco and as I say I expect quarter finals semi-finals at a minimum but if they get a decent draw JJ I'd find it very hard to back against them I mean even if they were to play in Argentina or Brazil again

you don't fancy them to lose or definitely not to get swept aside easily so yeah my takeaway over the first couple of days I know we've still got France and Spain and the English and Argentina still to play but I think Morocco are probably the team that's impressed me the most
