De Amerikaanse zanger en muzikant John Legend heeft 50.000 dollar verloren na een weddenschap tegen Marokko.<\/p>\n

De weddenschap vond plaats tijdens het WK 2022 in Qatar, toen Marokko in de halve finale tegen Frankrijk speelde. Legend koos voor Frankrijk als winnaar, maar de historische opmars van Marokko eindigde die avond met een 2-0 nederlaag.<\/p>\n

Omdat zijn voorspelling niet uitkwam, moest Legend 50.000 dollar uitbetalen. Het geld ging naar een goed doel gelieerd aan Marokko, wat betekent dat de verloren weddenschap van de zanger uiteindelijk een goed doel steunde.<\/p>\n

De reis van Marokko in Qatar bleef een van de grootste verhalen van het toernooi, waarbij de Atlasleeuwen het eerste Afrikaanse team werden dat een WK-halve finale bereikte.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
