Hakimi looks a shadow of the player he once was. I know he's just come back from injury recently but he's been one of Morocco's worst players in the games I've watched in the World Cup.

Amallah and Ziyech are done. Needs to get changed asap. As predicted, first goal nicks this game. Too little between them.

Total Spain dominance now. Perfect purist football from them I say. They'll win it now or in extra time. Morocco are done physically.

So the Costa Ricans were drunk or something. This is the same Spain from last summer.
If I remember correctly, they played better than super attacking and exciting European champions Italy and went out on penalties in semi final.

Morroco have nothing in attack, they're waiting to concede or waiting to go to penalties.

Feel like Hakimi should play further forward for thenmm, only one that looks decent on the ball

Spain will push in the last 10 hoping for some kind of breakthrough. Could allow a break for Morocco but probably Spain will force an error and grab a goal.

Best RB of the tournament, what do you want him to do? He can't bomb forward when Morocco are playing 4-6-0.

Nico Williams has done more in 2 minutes than any other Spain attacker the whole game.

Williams should be starting. He looks better than Torres

The 2 on the back of Pedri's shirt looks like a Z.

Yes, I'm that bored.

There's a difference between teams trying to play football but not having enough quality to make it count, and those being reactive and cynical from the outset.

Sadly, most people prefer the latter, and football also seems to reward opportunism. Oh well.

I'm sure you'll get over it.

Caf logic.

"Spain. Tiki taka so boring."
"Morocco have every man behind the ball..."

"..... Spain. Tiki taka so boring."

Same old shite every time. Free pass for the self preservationists and vitriol for the progressives.

See, that's where Spain frustrate the life out of me. Morata breaks their line and plays a ball back across the goal and literally no one is in the box.
