Gonna be a Beautiful Day for Morocco!
My money's on Morocco to win the shootout after Morata misses the crucial pen
Wow if Sarabia had scored that it would have been the most brilliant substitution ever
Hopefully the Moroccans don’t bottle under the pressure like the Japanese did yesterday
Industrial laser pen time
Has he found what he’s looking for ? Or will they win with or without him ?
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.
You wouldn't have to pay me anything to cheer for Morocco here. Pro Bono as it were.
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.
So close, hot the pist
Spain trying to walk the ball into the net, take a shot like.
Around Easter time.
Edit: to slow with that joke.
Probably around Easter time
That was it for Morocco, you feel, unless they last to spotters
Bono was moving in mysterious ways on that Spanish long ball
I predict a miraculous resurrection...
I'm surprised the ref didn't find a way to give Morocco a penalty at some point
I would be amazed if Morocco hang on they must be knackered.
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.
Another round of extra-time coming up between Spain and Morocco.
Can the Morocco fans get MOTM?
Definite Oscar nomination for the fouled Moroccan there
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.
Only caught the last 10 minutes. Have Morocco defended well or have Spain been below par?
It might be that Morocco are good at tackling. Their no5 Aguerd put in a Paul McGrath-esque tackle at one stage there.
John Hartson is a dreadful cocom.
Laporte surprised the deliberate cynical fouls he gets away with in the PL earn him a yellow here
Don't think this match will be going down in history as one of the more exciting last 16 matches.
This ref has gone 5, 10, 5, 8, 2+1R, 5,8,0 and 11 (Swi vs Serb) in his yellow cards.
The only 0 featured Morocco!
Dunno what rules he's following here - must need a leg break I'd say.
Strange change by Enrique taking off Gavi, he was playing well I thought
