One user replied on Pichai post and said, " Morocco population is under 4 crore and ranks around 148 in GDP nominal basis and 113 on PPP basis with around $3500 per capita GDP which is higher than India by 1.67 times. They just created history to become first country to reach SF in Fifa. It's unbelievable but true!!"

Anand Mahindra said this time for Africa by reciting 2010 FIFA football worldcup theme song 'Waka Waka' sung by popular pop-star Shakira. He wrote, "In the 2010 World Cup, the Waka Waka anthem contained the words “This time for Africa!” The prophecy has finally been fulfilled… They RISE!"
