Morocco v Portugal - Sat 10th Dec, 15:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Why does it say MAR where Morocco's name should be?

Because they like smoking a green plant that sends them all the way to Mars :)

Chance for Morocco.

Defending from set pieces hasn't been good in the first few minutes, England could target that if we beat France.

Former colony of France many years ago. The country is known as Maroc in French

Taken me a few minutes to realise whose playing in which colour.

Maroc is the French word for the country.

I actually think Morroco are a silly chance to win the tournament.

Yes why not? This has been a tournament where anti-football has proven to be very effective. A sad state of affairs really.

It does help.

So people can not get into the stadium, FIFA at its finest.

Pepe is still playing ?? He must be ancient

That was lovely football by Morocco how they beat that press.

Football authorities need to start properly planning to keep ticketless fans away from big football events.

Champions League Final, Euro Championship Final, World Cup QF...it keeps happening.

Drew them in the works sweep , decided to have a bet on them to reach the semis at 25/1 only had a £5 on it , wish I'd had them at 12s to reach the quarters as I think Portugal might.have too much for them

True, lol, he is vile

 

[Gabriel]

Some agricultural defending by the Moroccans in this game. Fear for Bernardo if the referee is going to be so lenient.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Whistling is annoying already

 

[Josh_D]

Still find it funny that commentator and possibly pundits have said that Portuguese coach made the most important call of his career by leaving show pony out of the starting 11.

How is there credence to his decision when we are talking about a 37 year old who doesn’t press. Also affects their fluidity. Feel like it was his easiest decision.

Most of these big matches do have cordons away from the stadium for ticket checks but if thousands turn up and clog the checkpoints there's bound to be problems.
