This season is the season of football. With the football world cup ,  Christmas and the vacation that comes with it ; this is probably one of the best times of our life. We all are excited, appreciating our favourite team, watching them win, crying when they lose, late night hangouts with friends, football world cup is not just a pageant for us, it's something else. We've come a long way since the competition started. The Semi-finals will start soon. Everyone is eager to watch what happens next, especially when Morocco went to the semi-finals as the first African nation ; defeating European giants like Spain and Portugal.
