Morocco still playing Counter attacking football despite losing
... They've had 60% possession so far.
Semi Finals: Argentina vs Croatia | Eng... France vs Morocco

... They've had 60% possession so far.
Argentina/Messi has taken so many penalties this tournament that after all that practice Messi actually became good at taking them. That penalty yesterday was fantastic
Morocco are playing like it’s their first WC semi-final.
Lucky break for Morocco. Can’t make another mistake. Saiss should go off if he’s not fit.
How stupid was Chelsea to let go Giroud.
I don’t like that.
Sold him for 1m and bought Lukaku for 100m.
Actually think Morocco have been better so far. Just 2 errors by them in defense has gave France 2 shots.
Nah they're going to get stuffed and it will be funny
Saiss is done 
Utter stupidity to start Saiss. The man could barely move 3 days ago.
Why would it be funny?
What would be funny about it?
Should have been BRA - ARG and FRA - POR.
Easy to say that now
Griezmann really has been the heart of this French team, he’s everywhere and some of the passes he makes are laser accurate.
Saiss off is a huge blow.
Player of the tournament with Messi (though obviously Messi will get it)
Quietly one of the best players of this tournament and his pressing has been fantastic as well. Probably the most impressed I have ever been by him.
Not really. He's been absolutely shit so far this game.
It's a worse deal than replacing Ronaldo with Obertan and Owen, all things considered
Because it will make me laugh
And he is just a year younger than Ronaldo...
Alright, so now Morocco switch to the patented 4-1-4-1. I feel Regragui got it wrong from the start and now it might be to late.
Southgate must be amazed by this Morocco performance. They've been the moral and possession winners so far.
And why would it make you laugh?
A patched up injury hit Moroccan defence will likely ruin this semi final as a contest.
In a world of 5 subs its probably an OK risk to take. He obviously thought he could get through at least a half
Chelsea are not happy if they are not overpaying !!
"Sell Low, Buy High" is the club motto
Because it's funny
?He's always been such a good and underappreciated player.
He can be our next stop gap
they are City and Liverpool of the national teams
Shouldn't have started Mazraoui either.
No thanks.
Yeah, makes senseBecause it's funny
Revisionism. He was never at the required level for a top club, often came up short. He's had wonderful career for France though, and this world cup he's been very good (his 2018 one, despite all the a posteriori re-writings of silent domination etc, he was mediocre at best)
Ounahi has great potential
Still can't figure out why that defender 40 yds from goal tries to step in and win the ball instead of just defending goal side....that is such a stupid mistake to make at this level
Mbappé not really good so far but it should get easier for him as the game progresses.
