Morocco coach Walid Regragui hopes for a shift in their football after bowing out of the World Cup with defeat in the third place playoff against Croatia.

Walid Regragui's men made history by becoming the first African side to reach the semi-finals and their passionate players and supporters have lit up this tournament.

Their following sang and banged their drum for the entirety of this game and, despite being beaten in the last four by defending champions France and here by Croatia, they will look back on their achievements at this tournament with fond memories.

Regragui said: "The doubts were in the minds of everyone before this tournament but we have gone further than expected and it is not enough. That needs to set the example for the future.

"Something that has touched me is when I see the pictures of children because football makes people dream. We have allowed children to dream, we have kept those dreams alive.

"Children in Morocco and around the world dream of winning the World Cup and that means more to me than winning any game at the World Cup.

"We have made a fantastic achievement but we want to do that again. If we can keep reaching the semi-final or quarter final regularly, one day we will win the World Cup."
