Houstonians celebrate with the African national football team on its historic win.
Morocco advances to the semi-finals of the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Portugal.At the end of Saturday's match, a Fox Sports commentator called it "an African breakthrough."
"The hard work, the dedication…they showed that any team can do it," says Mounir Tahri who watched the game at Pitch 25. One Houston couple, whose house is divided between France and Morocco, says this next matchup will be exciting to watch. They grew up in Paris. "Morocco has been one of those teams where we don't necessarily get the respect and the recognition we deserve," says Majidi. "The fact that we've made it this far in the World Cup, the greatest sports event in the world...this is like watching your son or daughter start on a team that didn't expect to start, and all of a sudden they hit the game-winner, the buzzer beater. It's insane.
