Morocco beat Spain on Tuesday in a knock-ut game that went to penalty kicks. It’s the last remaining Arab team in the World Cup, and part of it was ruled by colonial Spain (and France) for much of the 20th Century. The Moroccans, in turn, ruled over Iberia for nearly 800 years, until 1492, and left a lasting legacy. That includes Moroccans living in Spain. Gerry Hadden reports from Barcelona on how Moroccan fans view the victory.
