Diogo Cost ya.
Wow huge goal for Morocco, goalkeeper was awful
The leap was certainly Ronaldoesque.
I'm fully convinced that the winner tonight will go on to lift the world cup.
Delighted to see Morocco scoring, Portugal might wake up now, the have been awful so far with their tippy tappy play.
A Morocco v Argentina game would easily have the best Atmosphere.
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?
Hope that guy the other day saying Morocco 100/1 to win put that bet on
Jesus, some effort by Fernandes.
As for the rolling about in the box there clutching the leg...
Portugal starting their "get into the box and just fall over" tactics very early today
Game set up great now, Portuguese will have a job to break the Morocco team. Ideal for them.
Game is opening up nicely.
Another great chance for Morocco. Awful attempted finish.
That poster could buy a lot of Fez’s with those winnings
Second half should be a cracker now
There are some amount of whiny fcukers at this World Cup.
If Portugal go out, that game later feels even more massive than it was.
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.
Morocco are a joy to watch on the break, they're electric.
Great chance for 2-0.
Fernandes cheating. Plus ca change.
I hope the ref stands firm against the cheating Portuguese.
Jesus the goalkeeper shut his eyes coming from the cross, can't be doing that I absolutely hate a goalkeeper acting cowardly
RTE commentator spoiling our fun by pronouncing the Moroccan goalkeeper as Bun-OE...
By knocking Spain & Portugal out of the World Cup, could Morocco be getting revenge for the Reconquista, re-establishing an Al-Andalus of the mind
All that swarming the referee, and for what? Even if he listens to you and goes to check VAR he'll just see a video of you diving anyway.
My thoughts exactly, keeper was poor but the leap was phenomenal.
CR7 to come on now in the second half and be the hero?
All the talk about who should have been sent off last night. Fernandes could have been sent off, yet he doesn't even have a yellow card. The first for the late challenge on the keeper and then he should have been booked for his dive to try and con a penalty.
Or walk out of the staduim with 10 minutes to go as an unused sub
