Keeper's gonna cost Marokko
Day 17: Morocco vs Spain | Portugal vs Switzerland (Last 16 7&8)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Argentina are arguably as bad. Their left back is no 8, their starting CBs are weird numbers, their two CDMs are no5 and no7, oh and their keeper Martinez is also number 23 for some reason.
All the boring.
True that. Will he be benched?
These endless 5 yard passes are amazing to watch. Absolutely love Spain.
Llorente has been poor.
Spain not getting any decisions
They're also completely unable to string any passes in Morocco's half. Masterclass in organisation so far

Eh this ref is from Morocco Id say?
Spain are a disappointment.
The ref is a joke. He can't wait for Spanish players to dive before he blows the whistle.
Spain is gonna score first.
Morocco will get tired from all this intense pressing

IMO he's been pretty favourable towards Morocco.
Yes, cross it for the midgets in the box
Refreshing. Sick of Spanish teams tumbling at the slightest bit of contact. So satisfying watching the ref constantly telling Biscuits to get up.
I don't know if these teams beat Portugal or Switzerland.
Yeah, don't see the point of that. They are playing as though Morata is there.
seriously Spain?
Pointless. All this passing no shooting
I'd have more faith in Morocco doing it than Spain.
Portugal would park the bus and shithouse their way to a win v Spain but I could see Morocco being a handful for them.
I want Spain to win, Spain-Portugal looks like a better game, also Portugal with CR37 mostly likely will beat Morocco due to having more experience.
Spainful to watch
He should be. Rafael Leao is much faster and dangerous. Allows Portugal to play on the counter and he can beat his man with ease as well.
Give Morocco some props. 0-0 against Croatia, beat Belgium and convincingly beat Canada. Only 1 own goal conceded in the group.
A lot of decently strong Asian and African teams this time around. Ecuador deserves a shout as well.
You sound American
Tiki taka crap is really painful
To me it looks like Morocco are vulnerable down the middle while Spain are very vulnerable on the wings and on the counter. Which fits the both teams that they are going to play.
it's even hard to picture anyone scoring here. maybe from goalkeeper mistake.
I must be seeing a different game but this one is very engaging. Spain trying to pick the lock against a very organized Morocco side who have posed a threat when in possession.
Spain has always trashed Portugal, they are most likely beating them again, Santos Portugal always struggle against possession.
Morocco would be easier for Portugal, just park the bus and Morocco will struggle, as they are a more counterattack team
So, not good for Portugal.
I have mixed emotions, want you to lose and him to miss 6 tap ins, throw hissy fit and walked down the tunnel.
At the same time want you to win because of Bruno and Diogo.
I put a bet on Pedri scoring from outside the box, but forgot Spanish players are only allowed to either walk or 5 yard pass it into the goal. Silly me.
You don't know ball.
Bruno show with Ronaldo sent off and missing the rest of the tournament?
Without Xaviesta all this passing amounts to nothing.
Morocco would do more if they could hold the ball better in midfield. Half the time they give the ball right back when pressured
Could still be a mishit pass. Who am I kidding?
I agree, good tempo but Spain's passing has been sloppy. Morocco have played well. Still a decent contest.
Morocco should have scored there
Oooh Moroccoooooo, damn
