In the World Cup semi-finals, Morocco will face the winners of  England and France while Croatia and Argentina go head-to-head.

Ziyech has joined Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, who believes his World Cup success justifies a return to the Moroccan national team.

Your head coach [Legraghi] [fired Spanish coach] Luis van Gaal said he couldn’t rate him higher than Enrique.

“But Ziyech’s example allows him to answer one question. Of course, Ziyech was educated in Holland and  is a good player.

He has contributed a lot to the Moroccan team and the fact that he was not used before a new head coach was hired says a lot for Morocco.

Morocco is not recognized as a top football country, so I think it’s great that they made it to the World Cup.

But in general, when I see Moroccan players in our league (Eredivisie), I think they are usually very technical and it’s always fun to see them playing football.
