Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has praised African representatives at the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup, saying it is the best tournament the continent has ever taken part in.
Specifically, he said for the first time in their history, Morocco will play a World Cup semi-final against France after defeating Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-final.
Recall, the Atlas Lions had topped Group F, finishing ahead of Belgium, Croatia and Canada, to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition. They then overcame 2010 champions Spain in the round of 16 stage, beating them 3-0 in a penalty shootout.
They’ll clash with defending champions France in Doha’s Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.
Speaking ahead of the semi-final clash against defending champions France, Oliseh called this the greatest tournament for the Africa as each team that represented the continent won at least a game.
“As far as Africa is concerned, this is the greatest tournament my (Africa) continent has ever had, not only because we have an African and an Arab nation in the semi-finals for the first time, but because every African team that has come here has won one game at least,” Oliseh said in a FIFA Technical Study Group press conference.
Senegal in Group A defeated Qatar and Ecuador, Cameroon edged Brazil by a lone goal after playing out an enthralling 3-3 draw with Serbia, Tunisia also beat France 1-0 while Ghana were also 3-2 winners over South Korea.
