Day 19: Morocco vs Portugal | England vs France (QF 3&4)

I'm going to be honest, you can have different opinions of the man Ronaldo, but the football player? This is the first time I've really been emotional over a football match. This guy made me love football at the World Cup 2006, I was a kid back then but too see him go out like this, crying his heart out at the very last prize he needed in his wonderful football career. I was devastated.
 
I think England have the players to beat anyone. Concern is do they have enough against sides that are either better or the same as them on paper. I'm not sure on that one, you need a top level manager to get that
Agreed, its a huge test for Southgate, Italy was a real bad mark against him (after a fantastic tournament, mainly that Germany game), despite his good record he has to take a big name at a world cup for his credibility.
 
Pepe claiming the Argentine ref rigged the game and complaining about "only 8 minutes" of stoppage time :lol: :lol:
 
Morocco has 4 clean sheets in the tournament and only conceded 1 goal to Canada, back in the group stages.

And they have conquered the Iberian Peninsula in a matter of days! Entire region to the north!!
 
Morocco weren't good. Portugal were crap. People are getting carried away.
Morocco have beaten 3 top teams in Belgium, Spain and Portugal(more than England have managed in top tournaments for like 20+ years). Let's see England beat 1 first before handing them a gimmie against Morocco who have proven able to beat strong opponents.

The Moors are back.
 
Strange, now Arabs are claiming an African country just because they've progressed in the WC?
Due to history people in North African countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya) are in good part Arabs alongside the original ethnic groups like Berbers, Touaregs, etc... The official language as well as the most spoken one in there is arabic, so yeah they're as much Africans as Arabs.

How dare you? England thrashed the mighty senegal!!!!!!!
 
Can't believe it.

They're yet to concede a goal in this tournament aside from an own one.
