Laporte surprised the deliberate cynical fouls he gets away with in the PL earn him a yellow here
John Hartson is a dreadful cocom.
It might be that Morocco are good at tackling. Their no5 Aguerd put in a Paul McGrath-esque tackle at one stage there.
Only caught the last 10 minutes. Have Morocco defended well or have Spain been below par?
Spain tricked us all a little with that first game, making us think they'd finally really added genuine cutting edge to go with all the passing.
Definite Oscar nomination for the fouled Moroccan there
Can the Morocco fans get MOTM?
Another round of extra-time coming up between Spain and Morocco.
Jesus out of the World Cup and will under go surgery and it looks like it will be months out.
Not good news for Arsenal.
I would be amazed if Morocco hang on they must be knackered.
I'm surprised the ref didn't find a way to give Morocco a penalty at some point
I predict a miraculous resurrection...
Bono was moving in mysterious ways on that Spanish long ball
That was it for Morocco, you feel, unless they last to spotters
Probably around Easter time
Around Easter time.
Edit: to slow with that joke.
Spain trying to walk the ball into the net, take a shot like.
So close, hot the pist
Alan Cawley on commentary the last 10 minutes at every player- ‘have a shot’ ‘should of have a shot’ ‘swing at it’. And Sarabia nearly heard him for Spain.
You wouldn't have to pay me anything to cheer for Morocco here. Pro Bono as it were.
Wow. Spain could have won it right at the death. Sarabia clipped the post with a shot. Instead we're going to another penalty shootout.
Has he found what he’s looking for ? Or will they win with or without him ?
Industrial laser pen time
Hopefully the Moroccans don’t bottle under the pressure like the Japanese did yesterday
Wow if Sarabia had scored that it would have been the most brilliant substitution ever
My money's on Morocco to win the shootout after Morata misses the crucial pen
Gonna be a Beautiful Day for Morocco!
Spanish keeper is a bit weak, not great.
Penalty expert, brought on, and misses for spain
