All means are good to achieve your ends. Moroccan supporters surely had this expression in mind when the idea of disturbing the sleep of the French team, on the eve of the quarter-final of the 2026 World Cup between the two selections, came to them.
As reported by RMC Sport, on Wednesday around 10:30 p.m., around a hundred Atlas Lions fans broke the calm that reigned in front of the Blues hotel in Boston. To do this, they used well-known techniques. They shot fireworks from a pick-up, they played drums loudly, they sang about their team and honked their horns.
Security officials from the French team then came out to ask the fans to leave. The exchange was cordial and relaxed and the Morocco supporters even left with smiles, chanting the name of Mohamed Sanhadji, the main security officer.
England experienced the same thing in Mexico
These methods are a classic in the world of football. Ecuador and England had experienced the same uproar in Mexico City, before their sixteenth and round of 16 matches against Mexico. Ecuador lost, but these actions did not prevent the Three Lions from eliminating one of the host countries of the competition.
Kylian Mbappé and his teammates hope to experience the same scenario and qualify for the semi-finals of this World Cup. France and Morocco had already faced each other in the knockout phase in 2022 in Qatar. The Blues won with a score of 2-0.
