Bouaddi on Arsenal's radar as Morocco prepare for Haiti decider
Group decider Wednesday against Haiti
Your team controls its own path. A win against Haiti in the final Group C match sends Morocco to the knockout rounds (1)(4). That is the full equation. Scotland are already beaten 1–0, Brazil were held 1–1, and now the group wraps up Wednesday.
Arsenal tracking Bouaddi
Arsenal are monitoring Ayyoub Bouaddi. The 18-year-old Lille midfielder who ran the game against Brazil is on their radar as a summer target (2). His World Cup has turned heads fast.
Dutch referee appointed, and it is awkward
FIFA have assigned Danny Makkelie to your match against Haiti (3). The complication: Morocco could face the Netherlands in the round of 16. A Dutch referee with a potential knockout clash looming has raised eyebrows at home, one Dutch outlet wrote Makkelie "can't do it right" either way (3).
