Transcript
00:00Morocco fans celebrated outside the stadium in Monterey on Monday after their team sent the Netherlands to its earliest ever
00:09World Cup exits.
00:10The game went down to a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw with Morocco's Ismail Saibari scoring the decisive
00:18goal to eliminate the Dutch 3-2.
00:22Holland scored but they showed their heart and they came back and scored and they played the extra time they
00:29did great and penalties too even if we were losing but they are a team that comes back and I
00:37believe that we have shown it against Haiti and now we are showing it against Holland so we are hoping
00:43that when we go to Houston you know Canada is a good team too but I think we can prevail
00:48because we have already played great teams.
00:50The Dutch team had reached at least the round of 16 in 11 previous World Cups but fans were gracious
00:57in their loss.
00:58I think they just lacked the rights, I don't know if it's spirit or form or shape or I don't
01:04know they were just not in their best performance and I think Morocco was better and they deserved it.
01:09We were very lucky that the keeper saved us like three times but I think Morocco was a deserved winner
01:15after all.
01:15Morocco will now move on to face Canada in the round of 16 on Saturday in Houston.
