Love their passion and some of their songs are great. I don't mind the whistling late in games when teams are killing the clock but playing park the bus and whistling from the start is just a terrible combo
On the team, the majority of their group are ethnic Moroccans who were not actually born, raised or trained in Morocco.

I was one of those obnoxious fans at the game. With Canada out, we threw our support behind Morocco as the last MENA team at the WC and we've been treated so well the last couple weeks in Jordan and Qatar. Plus last Canada game it was pretty clear it was going to be a sea of Morocco supporters so why not join the fun. Was sitting behind the net where the penalties were taken. Needless to say, very fun game to be at and met some great Moroccan fans very pleased to see us supporting their side.
