How on earth did the Swiss let six in against these mugs
Said at the time the Swiss are an awful team (Modern football is at the lowest standard I've seen for 30 years)

Did you see that last move from Morocco. Even Brazil or Argentina could not complete that many passes so quickly and so close to the touchline. Amazing.

Though I could see Southgate boring France to death and winning with a set piece, and that might be the smart way to play France.
He would also play super cautious against these teams though, and might be on the wrong end of a 0-1.

quite high I expect. Too many people just can't accept that the so called favourites are old and very tired. France and England probably still the 2 best teams though.

He is an awful team player. He is ok for moments in games. A good long pass or good shot but he is awful in actually understanding how to play within a team structure. He was doing the same during Oles last games at Utd wandering all over the pitch being generally useless instead of concentrating on his own role.
Ronaldos issues at Utd have covered how poor he has been at Utd this season as well.
He is the Portuguese Pogba
Why is Bruno filling in as Right Back?He is an awful team player. He is ok for moments in games. A good long pass or good shot but he is awful in actually understanding how to play within a team structure. He was doing the same during Oles last games
These sparse crowds in the lower tiers are really showing up the lack of support, this is a quarter final of a World Cup, can't be hosting these tournaments here again

you-have-to-laugh---10 Dec 22 14:32 With refs reluctant to show red cards I can see the Moroccans testing this to the limit today
WP - hope you copped that one!

technically they're in the continent of Africa, but that's about it, it's more specifically North Africa/the middle East that'll be celebrating this as an Arabic victory, they wont really care in west Africa

England have to get past France with no red cards or injuries and then I would fancy them. Morocco are going to be shattered after that game but what a performance!

Well I got the red card bet but completely wiped out (and a lot more besides) because I backed Portugal to qualify
Can't believe that Morocco keep doing it!

well done to them but personally dont like defensive teams like Morrocco ,Croatia being rewarded ,would rather watch talented attacking players ,which Brazil ,Portugal have in abundance ,but the best team doesnt always win as this tournament has shown .

Tiger Tiger10 Dec 22 14:26Joined: 14 Jul 09 Belguim, Spain and Croatia have all failed to score against Morocco so far, might be a closer game than some think?
And still it goes on, the only goal Morocco have conceded was an own goal. Spain, Belgium, Croatia and now Portugal all failed.

Defensive! Only when they were one up with 15 minutes to play and even then a calm head would have scored one or two more. Their speed from one end to the other is the best of any team but they do need an experienced pair of strikers to convert the dozen chances they created. Mind you Portugal missed a couple of sitters as well. All of the quarter finals have been down to a single decisive moment and England France will probably be the same.

I think morally they should play for the country that gave them the life, the chance to play pro football and and the career they have thanks to coming through their system, maybe if they werent good enough for those countries, I suppose Rice and Grealish would have played for Ireland if they turned out to be cack.

Morocco are another 1 of those highly efficient but mightily BORING outfits. I'll never give these type of sides the gushing praise that some pundits are clearly willing to. They're game plan is always DEFEND-DEFEND-quick counter-DEFEND-DEFEND-DEFEND-quick counter-DEFEND-DEFEND-DEFEND-DEFEND..

The tournament has been about tiring out the opposition in many games but it is cooler there today so that won't work so well. A bit of sleet and drizzle would be right up England's street but it won't happen. Any way, how many teams have won after conceding two goals?
