MAR coach Walid Regragui describes third-place play-off against HRV as 'the worst game to play' FIFAWorldCup
When is the World Cup final? Date, kick-off time and venueElite clubs have 'woken up' to Amrabat talent as previous Tottenham interest confirmedMan United to play Burnley in front of reduced crowd amid NHS strikesMorocco came into the World Cup ranked 22nd in the world by FIFA and by the time the next rankings are released, Regragui can expect to see his side jump to higher heights.
Regragui did find some perspective amid the resounding disappointment of Wednesday’s exit, and compared Morocco’s previous World Cup displays with that of his side’s showing in Qatar. “Let’s be positive about it. What I have said to my players as well, this will be the seventh World Cup game we’re playing.
“It is the 16th of December today and if you could have asked each Moroccan if we would still be playing in the World Cup in Doha on the 17th of December, I think they would have been proud and happy to even allow themselves to believe that could be a reality.“Six games in 20 years was our previous record and now we have played six games in a row. This is priceless because from an experience point of view we have gained so much.
