Notches three clearances
Diop generated one tackle (one won), three clearances and two interceptions in Thursday's 2-0 loss against France. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.
Analysis: Diop was in for a tough day in defense as Morocco faced France, and that was proven true after allowing two goals. However, he would still record a tackle, two interceptions and three clearances to go along with a yellow card. He still had a solid World Cup in his five appearances, notching one tackle, seven interceptions and 24 clearances to go along with one clean sheet.
Records 10 clearances in win
Diop had 10 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 3-0 win over Canada.
Analysis: Diop had the task of dealing with Jonathan David throughout the game, and the Fulham defender looked solid for the most part. The hero in the Round of 32 against the Netherlands, Diop has also thrived defensively -- he's racked up 21 clearances, four blocked shots and five interceptions in four starts so far. He should be the defensive leader in the quarterfinals as well.
