A deserved beating. It would have been even more humiliating without the interventions of Bounou, best Moroccan player on the field.
3 goals to 0 in favor of the Americans: 26th, 32nd and 64th minutes on penalty. Amallah missed a penalty in the second half for the Moroccans.
This defeat, in form and substance, is a serious reminder. Our national team, as a collective, in terms of its game plans, in terms of its management from the bench was catastrophic.
It is a reminder of reality: the World Cup is not the CAF matches. It is the high level. Against the United States, the limits, deficiencies and failures emerged. Several elements were out of order. We wonder what they are doing in the national team. They are already out of competition with their clubs and yet they are called.
The majority of the players left a bad impression: They left to make tourism so much they missed grinta and will wandering on the ground in front of a coach exceeded and disoriented.
Coach Vahid is stubborn. Coach Vahid clings to his plans and his human choices. USA-Morocco is an ultimate lesson. The future with Coach Vahid is not reassuring. The national team is in danger. The World Cup is a high level competition. The national team, content and form, does not reassure. Changes are urgent. The shipwreck is not far.
Coach Vahid may have seen another game :

“We were not as bad as the result shows. We were less realistic; but I knew from the start that it would be difficult. Especially physically, we are not at the top of our form. In the game, we had so many opportunities to score, unfortunately we did not know how to do it. Maybe this will wake us up because we are preparing for the World Cup. Maybe it’s not a bad thing, to calm down a bit and be a bit realistic and objective because the World Cup is something else (…) If we are not at our best physically, we have no chance to do something“.
