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

That Ounahi looks top class. How has he done in France this season?


Think I heard the commentary say his team is bottom of ligue 1 so I'm guessing he's not doing very well.

He certainly looks decent in this Morocco team though.
 
Didn't this argentinian ref watch yesterday's game, when argentina was awarded that softest penalty?
 
So weird that goal. All I seen was Morocco playing anti football and playing for penalties and they scored? How?

Anyway can't wait for France vs England. Both teams have played such free flowing attacking football in the past few years.

Disappointing but the entire Angers team is a mess so hard to blame him. Hopefully it'll give him confidence and a couple transfers in january will help them
 
Morocco with a deserved lead.

Like watching them play. Defensive, deep and disciplined, but they know what they want to do once in possession and move the ball with intent and purpose.
 
Morocco really have a few top players in their side. Or are they one tournament wonders?

Rooting for either Croatia and Morocco in this world cup

It’s not anti football, it’s called managing the game and absolutely necessary in tournaments

Both are not pens but only the Argentinian ref got it right
 
Oh 100%. If he was a Liverpool player, I think we would hate him with as much passion as we did Suarez. Isn't team bias a beautiful thing? :lol:

Bruno isnt saying racist stuff to United players like Suarez did so i dont think he will reach Suarez levels of being hated. 100% we would hate him. I assume all not Manchester United fans dont like Bruno at all.
 
Cant believe Portugal didnt start the goat! Ronnie completely vindicated.
 
This is where I hate being Portuguese and watching the players look to the ref for decisions. Just play the game and put your energy into trying to score.
 
Imagine the final fifa wants, arg - por. It would be 15 minutes of playing time and the rest would be competitive diving

Ah yes, because sweeping someone's legs away and going down after literally no contact are totally comparable.
 
There's few sure things in football but I can guarantee Ounahi won't play for the last team in Ligue 1 next season.
Ahah you could at least name us, ANGERS SCO.
But yeah, another good sale coming, hopefully we'll get a PL team to bid as high as what we got for Jeff Reine Adélaïde.
 
Wasn’t they in the same group aswell? :lol:
Yes - both Greece-ing their way to the final :lol:

Morocco have only conceded one goal from open play all tournament - to Canada.

Croatia have only won one game from open play all tournament - against Canada.

It’ll be like watching two sloths slug it out.
 
Credit to Morocco, defended well and have attacked with purpose when they've gone forward. They have a gameplan and they're executing it. Could've had more joy on the transition with some better final touches.

Portugal needs to wake up or they're gone.

Shocking goalkeeping from Diogo Costa though.
 
Shocking keeping for the goal.

Amrabat has been one of the players of the tournament.
 
Loved to be a pundit. Just explaining what I can literally see with my eyes.
 
All these Portuguese players surrounding the ref need booking.

It’s going to be a Croatia-Morocco final, isn’t it?!

Oh god I'd love that!! Be the best World Cup final in living memory. 2 teams that no one would root against.
 
No one is talking about how weak Dias looked contesting for this header.
