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

[RoyH1]

Morocco looked dead on their feet by the end. Think England or France will waltz past them, but then, who knows at this World Cup.

WFrance yes, England no. Southgate cannot take apart a talented team doing a low block

 

[VivaJesperBlomqvist]

England v France winner wins the World Cup. Morocco are rubbish and Argentina over-rated.

Ridiculously naive and arrogant. Every team left in it can beat England.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Stop trying to jinx France!

Literally nothing I said was false!

 

[Real Name]

I don't think Morocco are boring like Croatia. Morocco are way more proactive, way more pressing and completely deserve this win.
Croatia got lucky IMO.

Sure mate, sure.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Cheddira has had an.....interesting World Cup

 

[December_16]

Canada and Belgium really did have a tough group didn’t they Who would’ve thought both Croatia and Morocco would make it this far. Could one of them even win it??

 

[hobbers]

Last high profile game Ronaldo will ever play in.

Next stop: Saudi Arabian league and their 0 international viewership.

 

[FreakyJim]

Just don't see it. I mean i couldn't see them beating Spain or Portugal either but they have players injured and absolutely knackered. Also i'm wondering what happens when a team scores against them first-the gameplan goes out the window.

Amrabat was sprinting in the 100th minute like a madman. They don't tire - they're machines or they're juiced with some very potent doping. Whatever it is, I wouldn't expect them to drop their work rate.

 

[Fenomeno9]

Wasn't Senegal the first African team to qualify for QF in 2022?

Cameroon 1990

 

[amolbhatia50k]

The lack of self awareness from some of you losers, laughing at one of the greatest players of all time from the back of your gran's single wide is disturbing.

 

[TheReligion]

I lost 20 quid on this but it was worth it to see ronaldo and weasel face diver fernandes go out.

What?

 

[Berbasbullet]

Yeah I was exaggerating for effect. They should beat England who will be a tough test but they probably have enough in the locker and nous to win.

Hoping you're wrong but France should edge England, who knows though? When England get going they look like a tough outfit and can score out of nowhere.

 

[calodo2003]

Lfg England.

 

[Vidyoyo]

The lack of self awareness from some of you losers, laughing at one of the greatest players of all time from the back of your gran's single wide is disturbing.

Almost a solid wum but you sound like you're serious so I'm docking points

 

[hellhunter]

Morocco can beat England or France too.

Not with all the injuries and the amount of work they had to do vs Spain and Portugal

 

[Real Name]

The lack of self awareness from some of you losers, laughing at one of the greatest players of all time from the back of your gran's single wide is disturbing.

What is this?

 

[VorZakone]

How do you beat Switzerland 6-1 and then do nothing against Morocco.

Oh well, football.

 

[bdspeedy]

You do sound like a winner.

You are deflecting.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Cameroon 1990

Thanks .. I also eventually Googled it and found out

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Last high profile game Ronaldo will ever play in.

Next stop: Saudi Arabian league and their 0 international viewership.

Oh come on, Piers Morgan will be watching!

 

[ThinkTank@Cafe]

Amrabat has never been fantastic as Modric in his whole career at club level

I can’t dispute this. I meant at this World Cup.

 

[Kopral Jono]

Absolutely fantastic from Morocco, so happy for them. They came with a gameplan, stuck to it resolutely and it worked to the letter -- conjured more clear-cut chances than Portugal, too! With all due respect to Croatia the World Cup needed this after Brazil crashed out yesterday.

 

[Asger]

Canada and Belgium really did have a tough group didn’t they Who would’ve thought both Croatia and Morocco would make it this far. Could one of them even win it??

Canada was clearly in the Group of death!

 

[DevilRed]

Cheddira has had an.....interesting World Cup

He must have taken money

 

[Moriarty]

Almost a solid wum but you sound like you're serious so I'm docking points

How many Brits know what a single wide is?

 

[redshaw]

France with a bye to the final

 

[JPRouve]

You are deflecting.

What was I supposed to address?

 

[Ramshock]

Spain, Germany, Holland too!

Hansi Flick should be shot out of a cannon

 

[ManUtd1999]

Canada and Belgium really did have a tough group didn’t they Who would’ve thought both Croatia and Morocco would make it this far. Could one of them even win it??

Maybe a rematch in the final? Imagine that.

 

[DevilRed]

So 1 (dodgy) penalty goal all tournament long.

Messi is the goat. Confirmed

 

[crossy1686]

My only question is how is this place going to cope when Sir Harry Maguire lifts the World Cup?

 

[TheReligion]

Hansi Flick should be shot out of a cannon

and Belgium. Forgot them. Bizarre WC

 

[Vidyoyo]

How many Brits know what a single wide is?

Few I would think. I assume it's an American term?

 

[Pscholes18]

Pepe calling out the ref.

 

[Moriarty]

My only question is how is this place going to cope when Sir Harry Maguire lifts the World Cup?

Abject disbelief I imagine.

 

[FreakyJim]

My only question is how is this place going to cope when Sir Harry Maguire lifts the World Cup?

Great for United. Maybe someone will buy him, for money.

 

[eire-red]

1994? Or 2002?

My memory bit hazy

Don't think it was 2002. I was pretty young, but I'm pretty sure they were in the group with Germany, Ireland and Saudi Arabia. Ireland and Germany got out of that group if I'm thinking of the right African nation.

 

[DevilRed]

My only question is how is this place going to cope when Sir Harry Maguire lifts the World Cup?

ITS COMING HOME

 

[GhastlyHun]

Soo, if we get Morocco - France in the semifinal, will that spell civil war in France?
(only half joking)

 

[Caius]

Pepe blaming the ref for losing today, what a clown!
