Public unrest began in parts of London late Thursday night, and it appears Morocco’s exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the hands of France is the reason.
France took down Morocco 2-0, forcing the African country’s elimination for the second consecutive tournament, this time in a quarterfinal match.
As a result, many feared Paris would erupt into riots, especially after the chaos that followed Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League victory over Arsenal in May. Instead, images and videos from Edgware Road in northwest London showed police clashing with large crowds as smoke billowed through the streets and debris littered the roadway.
Riot police, equipped with shields and body armor, were seen trying to contain the crowds as they clashed with people launching fireworks and throwing debris. One video also appeared to show an officer down.
It’s unknown what happened to the officer who was seen down on the asphalt, or how his injury happened.
Fans were seen waving Morocco flags in the middle of the streets, which held up traffic. Some were even spotted jumping on top of vehicles trying to get through the area.
Similar scenes unfolded after Egypt's World Cup exit, when Argentina rallied for a controversial 3-2 victory that featured several disputed officiating decisions.
Paris, on the other hand, looked more like a city celebrating than one on the brink of a riot. Supporters of both France and Morocco flooded the streets, slowing traffic in several parts of the city.

That’s the last of the overtly muhammedan teams; and the invaders show their one loyalty every time (and always the victim and blame game, never sportsmanship).
In further irony a goodly % of Morocco’s team were muzzies born in France and raised and trained in France.
If the boys wanna fight, you better let’em.
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill, no doubt.
Here's what I don't get. If their team wins, they riot (celebrating). Their team loses, they riot (anger/frustration).
So why is soccer still legal? Seems like any other thing that caused riots regardless of outcome would be sanctioned.
Qv NBA
If you actually played soccer in Morocco you would need a lot more than two hydration breaks.
Where are the “Teddy Boys’’ when you need them?
I am glad these colonized countries are all losing. Mexico, Egypt, Morocco, Brazil. I am rooting for the colonizers.
The west is being colonized now. The roles have been reversed.
The French were smart to ship the Morocco fans in those boats to England.
You know, if you shoot enough rioting Moroccans, they calm gown quite a bit.
....... if you shoot enough rioting Moroccans, they calm down quite a bit.........
Who knew?
Great job! Import more of the subhumans and see if that helps.
So... it’s like watching the aftermath of an NBA Championship game? Turn down the sound and try to guess if they won or lost.
