Olympian1010 7,418 Posted June 13, 2018 #240 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I really wanted Morocco to win, I hate smaller countries are basically blacklisted from hosting major sporting events. Morocco could have done it for sure, and if FIFA was really worried about scandals or controversy, then why did they give Russia the World Cup. “Sport has the power to change the world.
