Enrique - specialist in failure
Day 17: Morocco vs Spain | Portugal vs Switzerland (Last 16 7&8)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
The commentator said that Spain's players practiced their pens a lot. However, you cannot recreate this moment in training. No one can prepare you for the pressure in this scenario.
In the end Morocco had the right tactics, Bore everyone with all the defending and then get into the next round by winning their pen shootout

Won't be easy for Portugal or Switzerland.
Spain out three times in a row on pens. Probably should try more to win during the 90 mins

Not that high, Spain have been poor and Morocco have been great defensively.
If we can beat France, I fancy us to get to the final. Come on you lionssss
What's with all these weak side footing penalties? You would have thought Spain players would have learned from Japan. Just put your foot through them!
If they can get to playing Brazil they would be made up. That would mean making the final.
I can’t remember a worse penalty shootout performance than this.
I really want to see "players that only get subbed in for the penalties" stats.
I feel like they miss quite often, more often than regular players.
Does someone have these numbers?

Nothing like a good camera shot on kids crying in their favorite team's jersey after a loss.
Spain were shit in Russia too, it’s like they didn’t learn any lessons from 2018.
Spain HYPE.
Forget Sommer, sign that keeper
So what will happen now? Will Spain look for a different manager with a different style or was it just too soon for some of their kids. That is last chance for Busquets.
DDG is laughing on his couch
Knew Sarbabia would miss once the commentator said he's been brought on to take a penalty
Well done Morocco! Happy for their fans they have been great.
Those were some awful penalties from Spain.
Spain with a hold my beer moment here.
Wide open for Portugal now
Was like Postiga against England in the Euro 2004
Delighted for Morocco. That's part of their nation's history. I'd love to be in Marakesh.
It's not fair, Spain should petition for penalties to be replaced by a sideways passing challenge.
A shame, I think. I always support the underdog but not when anti-football wins. No-one wants to watch this Morocco side again.
That Morocco gk looked cool and clutch even in normal time. Always felt if it went to pens then they have a good chance for that very reason.
Did they have 1 shot on target the whole game?
You thought Japan was bad? Spain couldn't even score 1
I don't know who was on the next pen for Spain, but I bet they're gutted that they didn't get their own chance to walk up slowly and try to gently pass the ball two yards inside the post.
Thank fook that's over. Garbage game.
Well done Morocco, Spain were like trying to open a tin of beans with a shoe lace.

When you take wrong players with you, this happens. Poor squad.
Different side of the draw.
Two abysmal 'footballing' teams, whoever wins out of Portugal/Switzerland should more than fancy their chances
Don’t tell Roy Keane.
Agree, they need to get that ball forward quicker instead of faffing around, pass, pass pass and no end product.
really? Where were you when they beat Costa Rica 7-0
Very happy for Morocco.
Feel sorry for Spain but I started to detect the cracks emerging last week, after they lost to Japan. Henrique seemed incredibly wound up during a Q&A press conference last night too.
France is different level. I don't see that anybody can beat them. But England and Brasil only two who can scrape a win there
Congrats to Morocco! Amazing result! Good chance at being 1st African team to reach the semis now
love it - hate their type of boring football. Well done BONO and a magnificent team performance.
Screw Enrique, thought he was too smart, lost being arrogant against Japan and his sub for the first peno failed miserably.
