While some feel he is being wasted by Chelsea, where he rarely starts matches, some are thankful that he was recalled to the Atlas Lions squad just in time for the World Cup, following his self-imposed exile after disagreements with former coach Vahid Halilhodzic.
Unfortunately, Chelsea managers don't know how to use him. Their style of play is poor. I wish he can leave that team. He deserves better. I knew that they [Morocco] won't disappoint us. -Khutjo Thobejane
So, you mean Chelsea have spoiled this guy's career? Let him leave the club and join the greatest club in England, [Manchester] United for sure. He gonna be a backup for Antony. - Muflihudeen Muhammad
Ziyech has delivered for his country. He is a fighter, it's good they called him back to the squad. - Stallone Mudas
Ghana is a country on an excursion. Up Senegal and up Morocco. - Omoluwabi Pablo Adewale
Most technically gifted footballer of our continent. -Majok Nhial
A very compact team. Their zeal and tenacity helped them overcame a star-studded Belgian side. Morocco to the world. -Oladusa Omotola
Jay-Jay Okocha should apologise to the entire continent of Africa for saying they are going to the World Cup just for tourism, what I saw today [Sunday] was not tourism. - Clovis Sadio
I am Zambian but here, I am Moroccan. Go Africa, go Africa. Bring this trophy to Africa. We are with you in full support. -Sakala Shombe
Morocco is good but Belgium didn't do well in their last match against Canada. They narrowly escaped defeat against Canada. -Timothy Samuelson Okebata
It's not a shock. We all know that this Belgium team is nothing. Canada should have won that [first] game. -Etinosa destiny
This World Cup is by far the best when it comes to surprises. Well done, Morocco. Their President should declare a three-day holiday celebration which must be celebrated by the whole of Africa. -Haron Wangwa
