Dani Olmo reveals World Cup 2026 surprise: Not Morocco
Dani Olmo, star of the Spanish national team, revealed the team that impressed him most at the 2026 FIFA World Cup-Cape Verde. This came after Spain defeated Argentina in the final in New York to claim the World Cup title. Olmo told 'diarideterrassa' that 'the group is always above the individual,' calling the World Cup 'the greatest event you can compete in.'
Which team impressed Olmo?
Olmo praised several teams but singled out Cape Verde as 'the biggest surprise.' He noted that 'the differences between the best teams are very small, and team spirit makes the difference.' He also admired Egypt, Paraguay, and Norway but did not mention Morocco, the only African and Arab team to reach the quarterfinals before losing 2-0 to France on July 9, 2026.
Why didn’t Olmo mention Morocco?
Olmo did not explain why he omitted Morocco, but he noted that 'winning the World Cup was not easy at all.' Morocco had a strong tournament but fell short of the semifinals. With recent results showing 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last five matches (LLWDD), the team faces challenges ahead.
What’s next for Morocco?
After their World Cup exit, Morocco must address key issues. With a recent record of LLWDD, the team needs to improve in upcoming matches. Olmo emphasized that 'success requires a lot of effort, and the team must be like a family.' This may be the lesson Morocco needs to learn.
