Placed in Group C, the Kingdom should, according to him, take the first place in their group. An exploit that would relegate Brazil to second place, while Scotland and Haiti would bring up the rear.

This bold prediction is based on the new status acquired by Moroccan players. Since their historic epic in Qatar in 2022, where they had reached the semi-finals, they are perceived as a true world power.

The course imagined by the Englishman, however, stops at the gates of the last four. After eliminating Japan in the round of 16, then Ecuador in the round of 8, Morocco would stumble against England in the quarter-finals.
