Omar Al Habsi, who has travelled from Oman to Qatar for the World Cup, even made a bold prediction when this reporter just bumped into him at the Mall of Qatar, where a big crowd has gathered to watch the game on a giant screen.
"Today, I believe Morocco will beat Portugal 3-0," Omar said.
"We are so proud of Morocco. They have produced incredible results in this tournament. The whole Arab world is backing them. Insallah they will win again today."
