‘Street football on world stage’: Morocco and Netherlands face off in last-32 tie with a backstory
Moroccans began moving to the Netherlands in the 1960s, lending match in Mexico a feeling akin to âa derbyâ
Thirty-two years to the day since their first official encounter, Morocco and the Netherlands face each in what has the makings of a blockbuster last-32 match. Many things have changed since the 1994 World Cup group game in Orlando, that Netherlands won 2-1, but Moroccoâs history is never far from the plot.
Take the venue for Mondayâs encounter â Monterrey, where the Atlas Lions played most of their 1986 World Cup campaign, in the process becoming the first African team to progress through the group stage. So many in Morocco spy a golden opportunity for revenge and glory. And they would be right to do so given how four years ago, in Qatar, Morocco stunned the world by reaching the semi-finals, beating Belgium, Spain and Portugal in the process. They now have another European heavyweight firmly in their sights.
