Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry is anticipating a unique matchup as Morocco prepares to meet Canada in the World Cup Round of 16 this Saturday. His comments followed Morocco’s victory over the Netherlands in the Round of 32.
Henry expressed admiration for Morocco’s tactical mindset during their recent match. He noted that head coach Mohamed Ouahbi instilled a sense of confidence in his squad, emphasizing that they view themselves as equals rather than underdogs. Henry believes this fearless attitude will make their upcoming game at Houston Stadium a particularly interesting event.
Morocco secured their spot in the next stage by defeating the Netherlands 3-2 in a penalty shootout after the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Meanwhile, Canada earned their place in the last 16 after eliminating South Africa last Sunday.
