All this does is reinforce my belief that parking the bus and playing smart on the counter is the most OP way of playing football.
No. Morocco are playing very well as a team. Their counter attack strategy is right for such big matches. What's surprising is Portugal are falling for it.
Will be only good for Morocco if Santos gets desperate now and throws Ronaldo on the pitch, will make it even easier for them to hit Portugal on the counter.
Morocco look excellent, very well drilled team and always dangerous when they get the ball. Easy to see why they only conceded one goal all tournament.

Could not agree more.
And it's not like Morocco are parking the bus and just defending the box.
Spain's football was anti-football imo. No real intent. Just passing it around in safe areas, scared of getting countered.
How has he played for Angers? Would you consider him your best player or is he just having a good World Cup.
#OleIn?
They're more skillful on the ball, a lot of players are press-resistant, and their discipline are excellent. They're also very adaptable team following the oppositions, look at the first half when they neutralize Portugal's midfielders and make them hard life.
I see no anti football. Marocco manager has outmanaged Fernando Santos and our performance has been atrocious.
Fecking Fernando Santos not changing the midfield. Tragic.

Morocco replaced Italy nicely 
We all want a big final I think but the underdog ruining the day is a great story also.
Morocco aren't parking the bus for fecks sake
The only real anti-football we have seen has been from Spain.

Don’t deny itI think you have some issues
It’s the best way to play in tournament based competitions but over a season it definitely isn’t, especially not with the highly conditioned athletes we have in this era who can basically press non-stop.
I bet Piers Moron is somewhere yelling about bringing on Ronaldo!
That's because they're shit.
Southgate vs a low block. jesus god.
Should be filed alongside "high press", "low block", "game management", and all these other dreadfully sh!Te buzz phrases about things that aren't at all new.
The ball got away from him with a heavy touch and he just fell to the ground.
Although tbf I thought it was a penalty when it happened live.
Ahah yeah sorry I didn't because most people here don't really know ligue 1 teams very well.
I know a lot of salty people are trying to draw some kind of equivalence to the reaction to this match and to Croatia but Morocco have been much more positive than Croatia attempted to be at any point during the 90 minutes
How does Leao not start for Portugal?
That's international football for you.
Pogba was great for France while he was super inconsistent at Man Utd.
The fact that only about 12 international games are played per year, has a lot do with inconsistent players shinning more at international football.
Souness being Ronaldo’s biggest fan suddenly is truly comical. ‘That man’
What in the world is a low block? When that chap who lies down for free kicks blocks it?!
Move Bruno to the middle and put Bernardo on the RW. Look how Bruno unlock this defense
Defending deep
Hopefully this world cup can be where the myth of superstar footballers starts to fade out, and TV and print journalists mindlessly over promoting the traditional teams is a thing of the past.
Team work, team spirit, organisation and hard work are always going to win despite how many twitter followers a brand footballer with a groundbreaking haircut has.
