Morocco Emerges a Winner in the World Cup
Morocco and France are playing in the World Cup semifinal. France won 2-0 on the pitch, but Morocco is up 4-1 off the field. The match was played on International Migrants Day and on France's World cup final against Argentina. Many Moroccans and non-MoroccANS took pride in Morocco's march through the tournament. The World Cups has taken on outsized geopolitical dimensions. It is a battle between the Global South and the North. Islamophobia has been on rise since 9/11. An Islamic State poster accusing Jews and Christians of using sports to distract Muslims from waging jihad failed to resonate with fans in Doha.
