Genuine Question from a Foreigner

Discussion/Opinion

big fan of Morocco style. but I wonder:

is there a debate in the country about how the vast majority of players aren’t actually from Morocco?

I saw that 19 of the 26 players performed for another country at youth levels, meaning presumably that 19 of the 26 players would have rather played for another country they felt more loyalty to - but werent good enough. the most obvious case is Brahim who straight up played for Spain. Are any fans against this?

I ask cause my country (Chile) is trying to do the same thing since country-born players haven’t been good, but a large majority of fans only want players who are actually loyal to the country. Does your country also feel this way? Or you don’t mind the second choices of other countries?
