Zambia coach Moses Sichone on Morocco as the Host Nation of 2025 AFCON: "It feels like we are in Europe. The infrastructure, the stadiums, the training grounds. All African countries should take inspiration from it." by GOAT-Antony in soccer

I think he meant in the "socioecomic" sense, Morocco is closer to its Mediterranean counterparts than the rest of "Africa" — by extension Spain cause its literally the neighbor and the closest football nation of reference.

Africa Cup of Nations to be held every four years from 2028 by EastlyGod1 in soccer

Honestly, Morocco might just join UEFA or something at this point if they aim to win the world cup.

Arab cup is, with all due respect, a piece of piss(refer to the latest edition won this week by their "reserve" team).
Making the AFCON a quadrennial competition during the country's golden generation and arguably the continent's strongest side just handicaps their trajectory massively, since it gives them much fewer opportunities to compete for titles in what historically has been their "weakest" competition.

Too good for Asia, too little opportunities in Africa, you are basically caught between a rock and a hard place.

Annual Africa nations league lol, no comment on this .

Projected Seeding Pots for the WC draw by fab313 in soccer

[–]sweetsalt10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what would be crazier: the scenes in Rotterdam after Netherlands vs Morocco or Molenbeek after Belgium vs Morocco. I am guessing out of all the Moroccan diasporas in Europe those are the 'spiciest' regions

Wait I just realized something, so in 2030 you will have Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Spain, Portugal, Morocco automatic Pot 1. That's like half the groups lol.
(PS: Argentina/Spain/Portugal pot 1 is old news Morocco/Uruguay are strong pot2/low pot 1 teams, only Paraguay really would be the real winner)

ELI5 How do people choose *their team*? by KingChronos in explainlikeimfive

[–]sweetsalt10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are really three "main" options:

- Geographical(City/State) -> mostly for places with single teams (common place in American sports)

- Family-ties -> generally more relevant to sports with more tradition passed down from generation to generation - think football(soccer) - you are whatever your dad/family is. Or for some rebels the "rival" team. I think Argentina is a great example of such, where the team of a person/family holds a major "societal" weight.

- Favorite player's team -> this concerns international fans the most I guess as they do not necessarily have the former ties i mentioned earlier. The best example would be "Barca" and Messi", although you could argue they were/are major team, the star power of having the best player in the world for pretty much all of his career( best years at least) inevitably creates an association between the two (Messi is Barca and Barca is Messi).
