It will be very difficult to crack this defense

I was thinking... Imagine a Morocco vs Croatia game and what that will look like... Then I remember they literally played each other in their first game.

And it was 0-0 :lol:

Conflicted here, have Morocco in work draw and want to see an African team make the semis finally but want Bruno and Dalot to do well.

Early but hope we don’t fall into the same trap as Spain in being too passive

So confusing that Morocco are wearing similar colour combination as Portugal usually wear.

Bruno Fernandes, the most important player for Portugal. The most abused player at United.

I'm actually afraid of corners. We have a team of midgets

Neves needs to be more tighter with possession for the role he's playing.

Portugal looking better than Spain. Their players are actually moving.

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

Neves isn't repaying Santos trust so far. Worst player on pitch

Funny to see 2 players from Angers in the quarter final of a world cup.

Santos such an interesting guy. He talks to himself - looks in different directions. Comes across as someone who has done it all with No pressure or stress.

Is Guerreiro really better than Mendes for the left back position?
