The Hindu  

David Beckham exudes a cool, James Bond-like vibe in his designer jacket worn over a white tee that hugs his toned torso. The team played with passion, with excitement, and people turned around to me and asked, “Are you shocked about the Morocco team going so far.” And at the start of the tournament, if you had said to me, “You know, Morocco, gonna reach the semifinals,” I would have probably said, “Well, I’m not sure about that.” Morocco fans show their support during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Round of 16 match between Morocco and Spain at Education City Stadium on December 06, 2022, in Al Rayyan, Qatar. Saudi Arabia fans celebrate their team’s 2-1 victory in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group C match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia at Lusail Stadium on November 22, 2022, in Lusail City, Qatar. Lionel Messi of Argentina celebrates scoring his side’s first goal during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group C match between Argentina and Mexico at Lusail Stadium on November 26, 2022, in Lusail City, Qatar. Raheem Sterling of England celebrates with teammates after scoring their team’s third goal during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group B match between England and IR Iran at Khalifa International Stadium on November 21, 2022, in Doha, Qatar.
