Morocco’s seismic World Cup win over Portugal inspired incredible celebration in Marrakesh

What a celebration for Morocco’s fans.

The underdogs of the 2022 World Cup have done it again.

Morocco pulled off yet another upset on Saturday, taking down Cristiano Ronaldo and juggernaut Portugal in a 1-0 victory.

The Moroccan national team will now advance to the semifinals to play either France or England. They are the first African or Arab team to make it this far in World Cup competition, adding to the squad’s Cinderella run.

Naturally, celebrations broke out all over Morocco for the team’s seismic victory. The one in Marrakesh was truly a sight to behold.

You can tell how much this World Cup run means to the Moroccan fans.

Well, if that doesn’t get you excited, not much else will.

Their contest against the winner of England and France is set for Wednesday. If Morocco’s players have any more magic left up their sleeves, they could really pull of the shock of the century next week.

Cristiano Ronaldo sheds tears as his likely final quest for a World Cup falls short

This looks like the end of Ronaldo’s World Cup quest.

What may be Cristiano Ronaldo‘s final quest for a World Cup has fallen short.

Morocco took down Portugal in a shocking 1-0 decision on Saturday, sending Ronaldo and his teammates home after yet another failed World Cup attempt.

This year’s World Cup in Qatar was the soccer phenom’s fifth attempt at winning a title with Portugal, having made his debut in 2006.

With him turning 38 in February, Ronaldo might have just played his last World Cup game. For a career that’s decorated in as many accolades as a professional athlete can garner, the World Cup will most likely be Ronaldo’s white whale that swims out to sea.

He was visibly emotional as he exited the pitch in what’s assumed to be his World Cup finale.

While this journey for Ronaldo will fall short, he’s got one of the most prolific careers in the sport to rest his laurels on. Even though the World Cup will remain out of grasp, his legacy is quite secured.
