Morocco coach Walid Regragui warned his team can get even better at the World Cup in Qatar after they followed up a creditable draw with Croatia by stunning Belgium.Regragui steered his country to arguably the greatest win in their World Cup finals history, just three months after stepping in as coach after predecessor Vahid Halilhodzic was sacked.Second-half goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlel secured the 2-0 win for the Atlas Lions in a World Cup which has been characterised by shock results, with Saudi Arabia sinking Argentina and Japan upsetting Germany.Morocco head into their final Group F match against Canada on four points, a return after two matches that they could scarcely have dreamed of before the tournament started.But there is no chance of Regragui allowing the players to bask in the glory of their win, as he said: "We can still do better, we can still improve – the more we play together the better we will get – we are a difficult team to beat."We haven't qualified yet and I am not happy with four points.

It’s going to be even tougher when we get to the knockout stage, but we have matched two of the best teams in the world."Moroccan fans dominated the crowd at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha and Regragui said: "There was a lot of pressure to make Moroccan supporters happy, everybody was waiting for this win."Seeing Morocco fans coming from all four corners of the world to support your team, you feel those family ties."We need your consent to load this comcast-player contentWe use comcast-player to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.
