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

Nah Croatia are infinitely more dull!

It's terrifying that we could have a final between the two of them.

If that happens we'd be as well just skipping the game and going straight to penalties.
 
Huge difference between Portugal and Spain.

- Spain only played through the middle, Portugal attack the wings
- Spain only played short passes, Portugal play long balls as well
- Spain looked to pass the ball into feet, Portugal try to defeat offside trap
- Spain pushed forward shrinking the pitch, Portugal drop back forcing Moroccos lines to become more stretched

I can't see Amrabat becoming man of the match this time around, Portugal play around him

Who knew, long balls add excitement to a game

Pulis, football visionary
 
Bernardo invisible so far

He has. But he could be the one to unlock this Moroccan defence if we can get him the ball. But they are pressing very well and not allowing a lot of time or space.
 
How come? They have had few half chances so far.

As soon as the other team get the ball they just get everyone behind the ball. It's tedious.

They look good when they break and they're capable of some lovely football especially in the wide areas but out of possession they make the game so boring. Which is fine, they're well within their rights to do that. It's not on them to entertain the neutrals.
 
Yeah, Portugal'a midfield is a problem so far.
Because shouldn't have changed what wasn't broken. Neves is useless because we can't even get close for a long shot and long passing has been very inaccurate
 
Morocco showing decent technique on the ball - wasn't visible when they were getting starved by Spain.
