World Cup day 17: Morocco roar into quarter-finals alongside Portugal
content.jwplatform.com
It’s the first day since the 2022 World Cup started that we’ve not had any games to look forward to, and football fans everywhere are suffering.
It feels like the tournament started only five minutes ago, but we’ve already had a whopping 56 matches – and now there are just eight left to go.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll probably be feeling a little gutted about it.
While we’re sure there’s a lot of drama to come, the end is in sight for the tournament after 17 days of consecutive matches.

The news is slowly sinking in across social media – here are some of the best reactions so far.

It comes another big upset saw Morocco knock out Spain on penalties on Tuesday, following a 0-0 after extra time.
