Reynald Pedros (coach of Morocco, eliminated from the World Cup by France 4-0):

“I’m not disappointed because when you play for the first round of the World Cup, you know it’s going to be difficult. We knew that France had much more experience. The only way to make them doubt was aggressiveness, we didn’t know how to put it. We conceded that first goal and we made some gross mistakes. It does not forgive. We saw the difference between a world number 5 team accustomed to major competitions and a team that created the feat by arriving in eighth. I am very happy with the course we have had and I wish good luck to the French team. I hope she will be world champion. For Morocco, it is an exceptional adventure. We’ve been together since June 12. There are plenty of things that we can be proud of today. It’s unimaginable. It’s more than fantastic. We must not forget that we were just starting to build this team three years ago. We have to feed on what we experienced in this World Cup.
