YEah Skander the II is right, but to make a mistake in a final… itäs hard to forget that if you see it from moroccan eyes.

Rachid why do you say the Morocco goalie was a disaster in 2004? He made one mistake in the final, and it seems he will be forever remembered for that. I think he was actually one of the better players of the tournament.

You’re right, their goalie situation is pretty dismal. The one in 2004 basically cost them the final. I’m obviously not complaining since we ended up winning thanks to that but you have to say that he dropped a tame looking Clayton shot right into Jaziri’s path. It’s going to be interesting to follow Morocco’s results and playing style. We’ll know more about his one size fits all approach.

Rami, I meant here on the Morocco WCB. Thanks for the link; I read one of the articles and they seem to know what they’re getting. I liked the comment “Froid, parfois distant.” I say that’s seeing the glass half full at this point. When Morocco failed in the last CAF in Ghana, they blamed the players based in foreign countries. So, I’m surprised they’d see Lemerre as the solution. I think he’s going to make things much worse, but they have been warned! Morocco also needs a good goal keeper; the one they currently have was a disaster in 2004 and even worse in 2006. But, that’s their problem.

Well thats great that Santos went to a club where he gets to play
if santos is in form i think the new coach should call him up because he will score lots of goals for us
you guys saw how when he wasn’t in form, he still scored 2 and almost scored another 2, which he hit the bar and ben saada scored.
eneramo is a good player to score goals if he gets service from other players, which tunisia isn’t really doing right now.

Rachid, you mean on the Morocco blog here on WCB or just in general? I created an account on Morocco’s version of Tunisie-foot: http://www.lionsdelatlas.net/

I went in to see what their reactions were to his appointment and it seems like its 50/50. Some think it’s a catastrophe but a lot of people think he’ll succeed. I’ve said this before but I think he will have a god effect initially (like with us) and then will start taking too much control and making bizarre roster selections. The older he gets, the more stuck in his ways he becomes. He seemed so isolated from reality in the last cycle with us that I don’t know what to expect. A lot of the people on the forum there were saying that discipline was the major problem for Morocco and Lemerre will solve that. We’ll see what they think of his defensive approach though…

Why do we need to resort to naturalizing players, and especially unstable ones like Eneramo? We have players that can kick ass! Do we want to be another Qatar? This is another thing we inherited from Lemerre: lack of confidence in our abilities. I say we focus on true Tunisian talent and miracles will happen!

BTW, Rami, I don’t see any reaction from Moroccans about their new coach!

Hey Skander, I actually didn’t write about that, Hatim left a comment on a post with the IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics) link. Thanks for reminding me about that. And thanks again to Hatim for providing it. It took some digging but I found it:

And you’re right, Tunisia was 22nd. I haven’t checked if they increased.

I agree with you Rami, When i saw the rumor, I was not a very happy person. I like The national team to win with Tunisians. Eneramo has no family from Tunisia. So why should they give him a citizen.
