Spain, Portugal and Morocco's World Cup Preparation matches

So basically a Kante of the team?

nope, Saiss play as Center Back besides Benatia in Morocco team, he don't play as defensive midfield like in his team.

Kante of the team are more El Ahamadi, Belhanda, S.Amrabet, Ait Bennacer...

Morocco will be our most difficult task in this world cup. They have the potential to shock the big guns in this world cup.

Agreed, they are waay better than most people think. Hakimi is a difference maker on the field. We have to be careful of his skill.

Morocco has no idea what hey are getting themselves into. They are a fast team but when it comes to physical strength, we will over power them. Once they're wing backs try to cut inside and make a run for it and get tackled hard by our midfielders, they will get nervous. Lets remember what happened to Nigeria last World Cup. Iran will eliminate the speed factor from their game and Morocco will stand around not knowing what to do. Moroccans are good at cross country running and Iranians are good at wrestling and weightlifting. Morocco will lose all one on one battles. In the words of the Iron sheikh. We will suplex them, put them in the camel clutch and make them humble.

Has anyone watched any full morocco games? I just watched the ivory coast game and to be honest they looked less than spectacular against a pretty unorganized african team. Any thoughts? I want to see how the fair against the friendly matches to learn more about them.

i hope you're right, because against Nigeria, we manhandled them and they looked like buncha diving queens. I remember even girls were noticing and saying stuff like " ina cheghad soosoolan "

im really nervous for this match, as a loss pretty much means we are out. i wish Spain game was first to get us ready for the other 2

However, if we do WIN, and somehow Spain and Portugal tie their game, it means after matchday 1, we will be 1st place in the group

^ Why if this and that? We are on the top now and will be three much longer than the other three teams. The groups are displayed now alphabetically So Iran will be on top for months to come.

Iran
Morocco
Portugal

i agree, anyway, it wasn't really football match, it was more kind of fight than football match, what matters was draw or win to qualify to the World cup, in Africa most times it's like that especially when you play in very bad pitch, where you can't control the ball or play short passes easy, that's why players like Boufal, ziyech....are rarely used there and better play "Bulldog" like N. Amrabat, who can fight against strong african and will be usefull against Iran in World cup , anyway you will see another Morocco in World cup, we play better against european teams and on better pitchs than in africa against african.

for friendly matches, the next match will be on 24 Marsh probably play against Serbia outside(not confirmed yet but close), and 3 days later, subs will face Uzbek in Casablanca. that two matchs are to prepare Iran match. for other friendly matches, federation have many offers, they didn't tell alot about and need coach take decision before they make the deals but he is little slow.
Belgium didn't want play with us, because Morocco insist to play in Belgium and they worry and they are right, our stupid and brainless supporters make a mess again in belgium like when we qualified to WC.

i think WC matches will be diffferent for all teams, we can watch all official or friendly matches but i don't think this will give us a totally true idea about teams, we can maybe know 50% or so but not much more, every match is different... maybe Africa Cup of Nations,January 2017, can give little idea, only little idea because the team was still on early reconstruction, few players left or wasn't in good shape yet, plus pitches was bad especially in quarter final against Egypt, match we lost 1-0 at last minutes of match, congrats to egypt, they finaly beat us after 32years, it was their time i guess no matter who played better.
during qualifications for WC, it continue construction, Moroccan have faith because they seen the team growing up, developping and getting better and better so we believe they will be even better in WC, HR/beaumelle/Hajji + video analyzis staff, sciuting, fitness staff... nutritionist... will increase level of the team for sure like what will Iran staffs do ,i believe we will have great match and if one of us win ,it will be short win and both teams will respect each other and will be respected by planet football.

i tried find match against egypt but still didn't find, if i find i will post link laters,

here is link for match against Togo in ACN , january 2017 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMsku4PnaX8

Resume of match against egypt end of january 2017 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5wRB8_dRiE

match against Gabon (october 2017, Casablanca) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B89zhNawKa0
Mali septmeber 2017, Rabat) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6_OeL_WQXg

after ACN, HR, started change a lot players and found his "group" about 14 players or so, and let down few who were in ACN, even still keep calling 1/2 new every match ti discover them ad make them discover environement of national team, He have no fear like our local coaches to give chance to young players ,something i like.. Ziyech comes back , Saiss start play as CB... anyway, i think you can have idea about how Renard play, he started by securing defense first, then after ACN starat work more on attacking part, he is not really defensive coach, team is well balance, can defend as one man and attack same, he prefer keep control on the ball but have no problem let it to opponents... he can adapt to situations and have players for any scenario he can plan with Morocco team.
