South Africa and Morocco Shine Amidst African Hate

The Bafana Bafana and the Atlas Lions majestically qualified for the round of 32 in the ongoing World Cup Championship.

South Africa beat South Korea 1- 0, having had a dismal performance in the opening match against Mexico and a draw with the Czech Republic. And now, second in group A, the Bafana Bafana will now face Canada in the round of 32.

The growing atrocity among foreigners in South Africa doubled the hate with many Africans across the continent nicknaming them the Xenophobia FC.” I am from Africa, but I am against Bafana Bafana in this World Cup. They hate our fellow Africans working in their country,” said Dennis from Nigeria.

On the other hand, Morocco, which sometimes pronounced itself a non-African country, endured the pressure to qualify as second in group C. Having had a draw against Brazil and two wins against Scotland and Haiti, the future is bright for the Atlas lion.

Many Africans regard Morocco as an Arab nation, hence receiving little fan support in Africa.

Nevertheless, the continent is showing a serious challenge to the heavyweight contenders in world football.

Africa is represented by Algeria, Cape Verde, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Tunisia, South Africa and Morocco.
