Morocco – 2018

Joseph, June 15, 2018June 26, 2018

At the very last minute I got wind of a gathering of Moroccan fans for their first game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup at Jack Astor’s on Front Street. About a dozen supporters trickled in over the first half and were enthusiastic throughout the match. Part of the fun was a sizeable group of Iran supporters were sitting right beside them. Part of the fun. Actually, it was mostly fun and games until the last minutes when an own goal by Morocco sealed the deal for Iran. This is Morocco World Cup in Toronto, and I know it’s ironic because they lost the bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but at least they are in the right city now. Right?

The last time I was in Croatia Parish Park was in 2006, there were no goals in the match, it was relatively borning, but I remember it fondly and have always loved the checkered uniforms of the Croatian fans. With Croatia so dominate in the group stage of the 2018…

Senegal, you won the hearts of the world in the opening round!

So humble, I had difficulty finding you anywhere. This is…
