It is necessary to congratulate Morocco, for having managed to eliminate the almighty Spain and go to the quarterfinals in the World Cup in Qatar, thanks to a waste of strategy, dedication, sacrifice, willpower and teamwork.
The match, which was 0-0 at the end of regulation time, and which was decided in a penalty shoot-out (3-0), was a very even and exciting contest where some artists of the ball faced some true warriors: with exceptions , prima donnas vs gladiators. The selection of the thousand passes crashed into a wall and said goodbye to Qatar giving a regrettable image before the Moroccan athletic marvel.
Sport is a sociological phenomenon that leaves important learning, beyond the field of play. The sad Spanish defeat reveals a deep crisis as a country, which was not and is not what it was in another era. The whole game was a show of impotence, and its stars were unable to storm the castle that coach Walid Regragui had so successfully built, a fact that was especially frustrating since Spain had already been warned by Japan of this problem. But the Spanish coach – lacking in humility and plenty of cockiness – did not know how to find the key to win or at least leave a good image.
The words of Luis Enrique on the eve of this crucial game -where he affirms that he did not care about the result, that what mattered to him was being faithful to an idea of the game- condemn him because he neither won nor played well, in addition to making important mistakes in the changes, abandoning the team in the penalty shootout and falling into an exercise of nepotism with Ferrán that is difficult to justify due to his game.
This harsh news for Spaniards comes one day after it is known that Spain has touched the historical record for Personal Income Tax (IRPF) collection, news that becomes dramatic for many families in the midst of an economic crisis. , especially when it is accompanied by greater spending for the state-public administration via debt, when the government increases the barriers to the generation of wealth and the benefits of the working class decrease, which they take advantage of to justify greater indebtedness. This permanent looting of the Spanish worker seems like a science fiction movie, but no: it is socialist Spain. A better future awaits, by far, Morocco and its neighbor Portugal. Not just in Qatar.
