🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Morocco qualifying into the quarterfinals in flying colors:
🗣️ “Honestly, Ibra, I think Morocco should be a team named in Europe. What are these guys on. The level they’re showing is unbelievable.”
🗣️ “This is back-to-back World Cups with a place in the quarter-finals. That’s no longer a surprise, that’s consistency. You have to respect that.”
🗣️ “People said beating the Netherlands was luck. Well, you can still call it luck now. At some point you have to stop looking for excuses and admit they’re simply a top team.”
🗣️ “The way they play, the discipline, the confidence and the hunger… they now look like they’re the Brazil of Africa. Every opponent knows they’re in for a battle.”
🗣️ “Maybe France are the only team I’d confidently back against them, just maybe… But if it’s any other nation, I honestly believe Morocco have every chance of going through.”
🗣️ “We’re now at a point where asking if an African country can win the World Cup doesn’t sound unrealistic anymore. Morocco are making that dream look possible.”
🗣️ “They fear nobody, they respect everybody and they play every game believing they can win. That’s the mentality of champions.”
🗣️ “If they keep playing like this, I won’t be surprised if they become the first African nation to lift the World Cup. Right now, they look capable of beating anybody.”
