In spite of being placed in the same World Cup group as Belgium, Croatia, and Canada, Morocco breezed through the competition unbeaten.
Following a 0-0 stalemate with Croatia, wins over Belgium and Canada ensured they would finish first in Group F, setting up an exciting matchup against Spain in the round of 16.
Morocco advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals after holding Spain to a scoreless stalemate after 120 minutes before eliminating them on penalties, despite Spain being the overwhelming favorite against the African team.
The Moroccan triumph against Spain insured that the American teacher became an instant billionaire.
The American teacher said to Action Network: “I was occasionally checking my phone, but I wasn’t watching it.
“I don’t know the name of one player. I won’t pretend to be intelligent in this situation.
“In the end, it was a wager that just struck luckily. I’m just your average degenerate dude.
The quarterfinals are the farthest Morocco has ever advanced in a World Cup, and they will now compete on Saturday against Portugal for a spot in the championship’s final.
