Morocco routs Canada 3-0 in World Cup Round of 16 despite Marsch's protest

On the fourth of July, Morocco opened the Round of 16 with a 3-0 dismantling of Canada, a result as decisive as it was unambiguous. In the theater of knockout football, where a single match renders a final verdict, the Moroccan side played with a clarity and control that placed them firmly among the tournament's serious contenders. Canada's journey — a modest but meaningful chapter in a nation still writing its soccer story — ended here, leaving only the coach's disputed claim that his team had been the better side, a belief the scoreboard quietly refused to honor.
