2022 FIFA World Cup (Part 1)

The Argies won’t let them mate. Not with the year that’s in it.

Would that chunky Acuna fella be able for Saka’s pace?

The difference between the likes of Ireland & Morocco is that Morocco have some superb technical players in midfield in Ounahi & Amrabat, as well as genuinely creative players in the final third in Boufal & Ziyech.

And the best right-back in the world, which is always useful.

What they really lack is a top, top striker but, even still, En-Nesyri has played regularly in a top league for years, has loads of Champions League & Europa League experience. Morocco are a good outfit. Injuries will test their squad in the next game though.

There’s still only 1…

He’s suspended so it’ll be Tagliafico.

The quarter-finals can’t end quickly enough for @Lazarus.

Great shot of the Moroccan lad in the crowd with his mouth agape when En-Nesyri got to the header.

Ah yes.

He’s deceptively quick, I think. But even the best full-backs would struggle with Saka in full flight.

Bruno is a fraud

True and especially with an entire tournament in the legs

@Lazarus Call an English win there man.

Morocco are a plucky outfit with some good players lads. Bono in goals, En Nesyri up front, Abde on the wing - they’re all quality La Liga players.

We all know what Ziyech and Hakimi can do. Mazroaui was a big loss for them too today, and he’ll hopefully be back the next day. Amrabat has been brilliant in the WC and by all accounts has been excellent for Fiorentina. Boufal is a maverick of a winger too, he has outstanding natural ability.

Most of all of course, this team clearly has stones.

Portugal are a seriously unlikeable bunch of wankers though - Ronaldo, Pepe, Bruno - how could you ever shout for those cunts? Bernardo Silva too is a ratty little fucker albeit an unbelievable player.

They played quite well at the 2018 World Cup too but had no luck. Dominated against Iran but were caught with a late sucker punch. Drew 2-2 with the Spanish as well irc.

Cheerio Ronnie

That was the worst attempt at chasing a goal against an underdog ive ever seen. It’s the problem with any team where Ronaldo plays now. Everyone just wants to lump it in to his head because he scored against Ireland and spurs about 18 months ago and people think he still has it in the air. The one chance they created for him was a ball down the side and a great run in behind.
