2022 World Cup Discussion

[Constantine]

The pundits & commentators have been pushing for African teams to have success at this tournament but Morocco are all of a sudden Arab?

Morocco is an Arab country. What are you saying?

I'm obviously saying it's Africa.

African and Arab

African and Arab

Yh I get that but they have been saying all the way through they want the African teams to do well & have been calling Morocco an African team all the way through but now they are making headlines they are calling them an Arab team.

Constant pushing & changing of the narrative.

How can statements of cultural & geographical fact be changing a narrative?

Morocco is in North African, sat between the Western Sahara and Algeria.
It’s also an Arabic nation, it’s Islamic and it’s official languages are Arabic and Berber. So it’s Arabic by culture and African by physical placement.
There’s no conflict in that and being Arabic and African isn’t exclusive to Morocco either.

In city news its been a brilliant day for us, 8 players back a week earlier than expected today, stones injured by the looks of it but its our strongest area, we can cope with an injury there. Only 1 player there until the end. Great news for us blues.
