I’ve spent most of my life in Canada, but my heritage is North African and Morocco has always been my team.
My assignment was to go to a watch party on the U of R campus, talk to fans and cover the game.
Would I have to choose between cheering for Canada or Morocco?
I watched the game alone, free to cheer Morocco on without feeling people looking at me.
