Neves seems like such a nothing player. Glad we never moved for him after all the links.

Moves around the pitch like an oil tanker. Doesn't offer anything like the defensive security of most DMs of that description. Isn't really a Busquets type metronome. Very often just decides to give it the big hollywood pass to nobody. Aside from the 2 or 3 screamers he knocks in each year, I just don't see what he does especially well.

I actually love watching this Moroccan side play. Great technique when they pass it out from the back.

I'm impressed by how Morocco has managed to keep Portugal away from goal this far.

Yes they are defending, but every time they take the ball, they attempt to break away and have had two solid counterattacks already.

Funny to see 2 players from Angers in the quarter final of a world cup.
Yea it's great to see, and a former one in Saïss even though he only played one year he was amazing there

Morocco are the most boring team I've ever seen.

Which is incredible considering I've watched every Croatia game.

Yeah they don't just park the bus at all.

They're a really good side.

Ref has been great so far. We have been crap. Our midfield doesn't work

I see the number 7 in a red shirt, green shorts I keep thinking it's Ronaldo.

Am I the only one really annoyed when the camera zooms in on a player face for reactions when there is an open play going on?

Taking a short corner and failing to get it into the box. Supporting Portugal now.

It’s not really ok that the only 2 teams that play in red and green are playing against each other. It’s confusing.
