The shock of the "African cup" ​​.. When Moroccans can rejoice in the World Cup ?!









The question seems strange, but we have the right to ask it to  the officials of thefootball in the country. As long as the setbacks have accompanied us for decades over the national team, I try in this article to give my opinion impartially, as a citizen to copmare our  with other teams,, and it is my right as a spectator to ask questions and answer from the officials .



Since 1976, the orphan cup has been moved by the tongues and its analysis here and there until the man became more shy than some of those who boast of the presence of a football team that can make the difference and our self-esteem is very weak and we rejoice in trivial things.



Personally I drank the shock in 2004 in the African Cup final in Tunisia when the local coach, Badou Zaki, led the lions to the end of the cup and was on his way to a second cup but for the strange end he did not. He could have had another chance, which has not happened, since that game seemed to be something we lacked, before I was reconciled by the Renard squad that qualified for the World Cup finals and this is another story.



When Moroccans rejoice in the World Cup, a question should be asked constantly so as not to convince the audience just to qualify for a continental cup or pass to a second role. After the African Cup is orphaned amidst African and Arab teams, our appeal is like an Egypt with seven cups in it, no excuses for us and nothing to satisfy the thirst of the masses. But it is not something that can please the enthusiastic fans. When will we rejoice?



We will really rejoice when we win seven cups and play the end of the eighth cup to move Egypt and lead the continent as a football team



Why the World Cup? We have to raise the ceiling of expectations so that the enthusiasm rises and the officials who are convinced by the semi-finals in 2019, 44 years from the orphan cup amidst the jungle of the continent and this strange thing i guess..



Who is responsible for the losses?



After the poor exit  front of the Benin team, where the players looked lost, the activists  on social media put the classic question of who is responsible, is it Hakim Ziash who lost a valuable penalty, or Herve Ronard, who ignored the teams that reached the finals of the African Championships? The moroccan union of the game  ofor  its president or the ministry of youth and sports, or is it the government that missed the ball strategies?



It can be said that the majority of the responsibility is borne by the ministry and who supervises the football sector and  umf  in particular, because it has not developed a real strategic program that can give us distinguished players over ten years, for example, as the Germans did at the end of the 20th century, when the ball had an unprecedented slope Officials have decided to radically reform the talent development system, with more than € 1 billion of funds allocated, so as not to miss the promising talent.



 In addition, professional clubs have been obliged to establish new youth development centers. Philipp Lahm crowned these efforts by lifting the World Cup in 2014 from the heart of the samba country at the expense of Argentina, and crushed the owners of the land with five cupsiwith seven goals in the half, why did not we do with Egypt with seven cups ??



The question seems surrealistic if we return back to  the zero continental and global achievement over the decades, despite the extra enthusiasm and media blowing of what can be done by the group  of Herve Renard in can2019, and the expectations of some that the second cup is not far away, but far more than we imagine if there is no good strategy , apart from emotions, media enthusiasm.

Moroccan Harira... The basic meal in Ramadan

Harira is one of the most famous cuisine in Moroccan cuisine, along with couscous, rafissa, tajine and other Moroccan dishes. Al-Harira increases in the month of Ramadan, which is considered one of the most important meals at breakfast time in villages and cities. No one is ignorant of the Moroccan harira, so tourists know it well and demand it in popular restaurants in cities and fine restaurants near the sea, in malls and in hotels.

Summer in Morocco 2025: Traditions, Daily Life, and Cultural Rhythms

  Summer in Morocco in 2025 is not only about the heat and the sunshine; it is a season of social rhythms, cultural gatherings, and daily habits that shape life across the country. As temperatures rise, Moroccans naturally adapt their routines, shifting much of their activity into the cooler hours of the evening when families and friends fill the streets, cafés, and seaside promenades. In coastal cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier, the Atlantic breeze softens the summer atmosphere, turning the evenings into lively social occasions. Families stroll along the corniche, children play near the water, and young people gather in open cafés where mint tea and fresh juices remain essential companions to conversation. This nightly migration toward public spaces is one of the most distinctive features of Moroccan summer life. In Marrakech, Fez, and the historic towns of the interior, the story takes a different turn. The heat of the day pushes life into the shaded alleys of the...
