Morocco pulled off another shock at the World Cup after beating Belgium 2-0 to leave the world No. 2 ranked team in peril of a group-stage exit. It was Morocco’s first World Cup win since 1998 thanks to substitute­s Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal’s goals. Meanwhile, Argentina are very much back in the game again after sealing a 2-0 win over Mexico, with captain Lionel Messi announcing ‘Today, Argentina’s World Cup begins.’
