World Cup 2022 - Team and Match Discussion

Portugal falling into the same trap as Spain against Morocco, tippy tapping on the half way line. How footballers and the manager think they are going to score playing in the middle of the pitch is beyond me. They should have watched old Chelsea games when Mourinho was manager and parked the bus against the top 6 and watch how some of those sides got around it. Also what is the story with keepers, you can't challenge them for a 50/50 ball anymore without them causing all kinds of drama. Players are entitled to go for a ball in the air before the keeper grabs it.

It has been a poor game I hoped for too much, the Moroccons are very good at defending. And starting to up it on the counter.

Portugal have been poor on the ball in the middle going long or direct a bit too much also

Keeper at fault. 1-0 He really went for it.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-12-2022 04:42PM

En-Nesyri with the opener. What was Costa doing?

Agent Coulson · 10-12-2022 04:42PM

Totally deserved goal for Morocco

wanderer100 · 10-12-2022 04:42PM

Morocco goal !!

sligeach · 10-12-2022 04:42PM

Wow! Morocco lead, good header, got there before the keeper.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-12-2022 04:43PM

Diogo Cost ya.

10-12-2022 04:43PM

Wow huge goal for Morocco, goalkeeper was awful

The leap was certainly Ronaldoesque.

cmac2009 · 10-12-2022 04:43PM

I'm fully convinced that the winner tonight will go on to lift the world cup.

TheRiverman · 10-12-2022 04:44PM

Delighted to see Morocco scoring, Portugal might wake up now, the have been awful so far with their tippy tappy play.

ShamoBuc · 10-12-2022 04:45PM

A Morocco v Argentina game would easily have the best Atmosphere.

sligeach · 10-12-2022 04:45PM

I think that Portuguese shot was going over. But the touch from the keeper pushed it onto the crossbar.

No I was wrong, it went straight onto the crossbar from Fernandes.

Has not the legs for wing now. Is a poacher now. On the Moroccan goal Ronaldo thinking he would have saved it?

Bluebb993 · 10-12-2022 04:46PM

Hope that guy the other day saying Morocco 100/1 to win put that bet on

ctrl-alt-delete · 10-12-2022 04:47PM

Jesus, some effort by Fernandes.

As for the rolling about in the box there clutching the leg...

Osmosis Jones · 10-12-2022 04:47PM

Portugal starting their "get into the box and just fall over" tactics very early today

gormdubhgorm · 10-12-2022 04:47PM

Game set up great now, Portuguese will have a job to break the Morocco team. Ideal for them.

ShamoBuc · 10-12-2022 04:47PM

Game is opening up nicely.

sligeach · 10-12-2022 04:47PM

Another great chance for Morocco. Awful attempted finish.

That poster could buy a lot of Fez’s with those winnings

wanderer100 · 10-12-2022 04:49PM

Second half should be a cracker now

ctrl-alt-delete · 10-12-2022 04:49PM

There are some amount of whiny fcukers at this World Cup.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-12-2022 04:49PM

If Portugal go out, that game later feels even more massive than it was.

sligeach · 10-12-2022 04:50PM

Some $#1#€ from Portugal. Looking for a soft penalty to get them back in the game. Then surrounding and harassing the referee at the half-time whistle.

irishguitarlad · 10-12-2022 04:51PM

Morocco are a joy to watch on the break, they're electric.

TheRiverman · 10-12-2022 04:51PM

Great chance for 2-0.

eigrod · 10-12-2022 04:51PM

Fernandes cheating. Plus ca change.

happyoutscan · 10-12-2022 04:52PM

I hope the ref stands firm against the cheating Portuguese.
