Hakim Ziyech, experienced midfielder belonging to Chelsea of the Premier League, is the most dangerous player of Morocco as he is a player who creates a lot of danger in the opponent's area, in the last African competition the player stood out with 3 goals in 4 games played, the player despite not having much activity in his club in the selection will always be the player to follow and in the World Cup Ziyech will be a key player for them to advance to the next round.

Christian Pulisic, 23 year old right winger, is one of the best players in the United States, currently plays for Chelsea in England, where in the current season he played a cup final, for the United States National Team his participation has given him titles in important moments and victories like the last one against Mexico, for his national team he has scored 21 goals.

United States 1-0 Morocco Friendly 2006.

To be confirmed.

The qualification to the World Cup for Morocco was quite long because after finishing first in Group I with six games out of six won, they had to go through a two-game direct elimination phase, they got their ticket to the World Cup in Qatar by defeating DR Congo, as we know in the area they also play several tournaments such as the African Cup of Nations, with how demanding the area is, different good teams have been left out of the World Cup as is the case of Egypt and Nigeria, now the selection of Morocco must reach the World Cup with a high level of soccer to advance from the group stage, for Qatar Morocco will share a group with Belgium, Canada and Croatia, a very complicated group where a mistake can cost you the elimination.

The Stars and Stripes had a great 2021 winning two trophies in CONCACAF competitions, first they won the Nations League playing with a B team, with that alternate team they managed to beat Mexico in the final, for the Gold Cup and with a stellar squad, they beat Mexico in the final achieving their seventh cup, in the qualifiers the United States was looking to return to the World Cup after not qualifying for Russia 2018, It seems that they learned from their mistakes and in the qualifiers for Qatar 2022, the North American team showed good qualities that gave them the third place and the ticket to Qatar, this team has been showing great talent that has already spread to different parts of Europe, with little recognition the Americans are beginning to be in the squads of European teams.

United States vs Morocco will be the preparation game that both teams agreed as part of their preparation for Qatar 2022, as usual the teams seek to face teams from the same competition area to measure the style of play, in this case the United States shares group with Iran which is an Asian team, on the side of Morocco, Canada will be their opponent in the group stage so they have decided to face the neighboring team. 

Good afternoon to all VAVEL readers! Welcome to the USA vs Morocco commentary, corresponding to the International Friendly. The match will take place at the TQL Stadium at 7:30 PM ET.
