Redaktionerna kring VM och Marocko har sammanfattat matchen väl och det var inget snack överhuvudtaget. Den franska offensiven var överlägsen genom alla de nittio minuterna och när Marockos farligaste chans är en felträff av Upamecano, som går en halvmeter över Maignans mål, ja då förstår man att det var en väldigt rättvis seger.
Men Marocko har som vanligt gjort kontinenten Afrika stolt. Ett land från kontinenten är återigen bland de åtta bästa i ett världsmästerskap. Kasta in Egypten i det och två av sexton, lägg till sju till och det är nio av trettiotvå. Det är en framgång man aldrig såg hända. Atlaslejonen visade på vägen fram till kvartsfinalen att det är ett rysligt skickligt lag. Talangfullt, rutinerat och med riktiga spetsspelare. Om fyra år är det VM i landet i nordvästra spetsen av kontinenten. Efter slutsignalen igår så gick många tankar bland fans och förbunds personal mot just detta evenemang. Då skall solen skina över landet igen och förberedelserna har redan startat.
Tack Marocko för en fantastisk turnering. Nu är alla afrikanska lag utslagna.
