Morocco.... Morocco..... Moroccoooooooooooo

A few hours ago Morocco's soccer team qualified to the semi-finals of the Youth World Cup in soccer after defeating Italy in penalties, after they drew 1-1 in full time, 2-2 in extra time.
The Moroccan goalkeeper , Borgadi, saved 5 penalties during the match.

There are special feelings when it comes to Morocco playing soccer. In 1986 I was six years old, but I clearly remember the joy everyone had when Morocco defeated Portugal 3-1 and qualified to the second round to become the first Arabic and African team to ever do that. In the second round they played Germany with all its stars, and the Moroccans played pretty well, until 4 minutes before the end when Germany scored from a free kick, and I remember my father o howeh besarrekh o beshalle3 sha3ro and saying "jabo il goal men el khozga"-they scored from the hole. It looked like there was a hole in the Moroccan defence wall from which the Lothar Mattheus- ma ghairo- scored the goal. In that year the Moroccan keeper Badu Zaki yes3ed rabbo ma azkaah was chosen as the best player in Africa, the first golie ever to win that title.

again in 1998 Morocco qualified to the World Cup. In their final match they played against Scotland, and humiliated them 3-0 and were supposed to qualify to the next round to play against Italy. As we were ready to celebrate we got the shocker, Brazil lost to Norway in the final seconds allowing Norway to qualify instead of Morocco. Again in 2002 Morocco was on the verge of qualifying but lost strangely in their final match of qualifications and were relegated.

Last week I paid el ghaali wel nafees to watch the World Cup at home, but forgot that the games will be played early morning when I'm at work, so today I kept checking the results second by second on the internet. Morocco was leading 2-1 in extra time and Italy scored a shocker five minutes before the end. The flashback of my father getting mad and pulling his hair and screaming "el-khozga" came back, but Morocco had a talented goalie who saved FIVE freakin penalties and we saw another junior Badu Zaki being born today, paving the way for Morocco to become the World Champions in youth soccer.
