As the first African country to get past the quarter-final of a World Cup, Morocco have 'broken the glass ceiling' and changed the conversation. Ames describes the team's 'flair and spontaneity' as a benefit in high-pressured situations, which allows them to score despite being a relatively defensive team. Despite injuries, Morocco have only conceded one goal in the entire tournament.
