Former Everton player, Leon Osman has hailed Morocco, describing them as 'excellent' after they played a 2-2 draw with Spain in their final group game of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Spain went behind twice in the game with goals from Khalid Boutaib and Youssef En-Nesyri, while Isco and Iago Aspas leveled the scores twice for Spain.
