Day 8: Japan vs Costa Rica | Belgium vs Morocco | Croatia vs Canada | Spain vs Germany

[Lyricist]

That's a defender issue. I just think players should be allowed to 'brawl' more in situations like this and be allowed some leniency regarding offside for the sake of spectacle and fun. Offside should just be feet. If you manage to get into a better position and play the ball off head or shoulder or whatever then more power to you.

That's not a defender issue, that is the basis on which defending in today's football built upon. If you take it away you get all teams sitting deep, no high lines, and therefore less spectactle.

Who was that German player crossing to their reserves?

Raum, he’s awful

 

[GhastlyHun]

Racking up the yellows...

 

[Dazzmondo]

Lovely footwork again from Musiala

 

[George The Best]

England have the players to play this way, but not the manager. Even your bench players like Maddison and Foden could easily play this style of football but you guys have a Stone age manager.

Agree. Spain play Man City, Pep Guardiola style football. Nobody here has cottoned on to it, other than maybe Eddie Howe.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Today he has a reason, lose and they most likely will be knocked out. Im sure he will post after the game.

Nah, not having that, nice little "hello Caf, wish me luck" would be nice.

Absolutely love watching Musiala, feck. The balance and dribbling is phenomenal. Has Zidane esque touches

 

[Rustyspider13]

He is being put under pressure by his own players with their obsession to play it around at the back. There is a time and a place.

He can see the entirety of the pitch. If the players around him are marked then he should take the responsibility and boot it out. It's your box, show some agency.

 

[GhastlyHun]

Ouch, that freekick

 

[Rightnr]

And he scores

Offside being just feet will definitely not cause teams to sit deep. What even?

 

[Agila Dathi]

Great news for Germany, Morata is coming on.

Oh well…

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Morata scores.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

King Morata 1-0

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Alvaroooo

Sign him up

 

[Dazzmondo]

Morata, just had to be

 

[Rustyspider13]

Never doubted him. Morata 1-0.

 

[CloneMC16]

Morata

 

[The Firestarter]

Morata scores on HIS FIRST TRY

 

[Lay]

Nice finish.

 

[Offside]

Great goal

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Musiala is a special talent. Prefer watching him to Gavi and Pedri.

1-0 Spain

 

[bosnian_red]

Morata! Out of nowhere

 

[Judas]

Germany shame really, rather they won than Spain.

 

[Samid]

Morata on. 0-0 full time.

See you tomorrow folks!

 

[2mufc0]

nice jinxing everyone

 

[awop]

Great news for Germany, Morata is coming on.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Dave saves that

 

[krazyrobus]

All you Caftards jinxed Morata and he scores

 

[mu4c_20le]

Of course its him

 

[Bobski]

Great goal to be fair.

 

[Deery]

Learnt that from Ronaldo

 

[Shai-Hulud]

Brilliant finessed finish. Eat it, Morata haters.

 

[Bole Top]

I started typing something like "Morata's career is actually incredible for being such a low scoring striker" and then he scored.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Germany have boycotted the world cup by not trying.

Offside being just feet will definitely not cause teams to sit deep. What even?

I am talking about the Rüdiger offside goal. That wasn't just feet.

 

[therealtboy]

Absolutely love watching Musiala, feck. The balance and dribbling is phenomenal. Has Zidane esque touches

Riquelme with pace is what I call him.

 

[Chief123]

Always nice to see the Germans getting turned over.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Goll

 

[Lyng]

That's a beautiful goal. Süle is useless
