I said that when the final whistle went. I work with a fair few south England based people and when Morocco beat Spain it seems London was full of partying Moroccans, so it could have been tasty darn sarf too but it is not to be.

If i want to watch a team park the bus and play on the break i can watch nearly every game that we play at the Etihad , i respect teams who go toe to toe and play football.You're showing a very good team an enormous amount of disrespect just because they are an African side who no one expected would do so well.
They are a highly organised side full of players from some of the best leagues in Europe. They've beaten Belgium, Spain and now Portugal fair and square, which of these sides would have expected to be beaten by them at the start of this tournament? Once might be considered a fluke, three in a row is something else.
England or France could well fall into the same trap.
Sometimes you just have to give credit where credit is due.
They deserve credit for getting so far in the tournament with journeymen players , credit to the manager for his tactics and organisation , they dont get any respect from me for their approach to football , i witness too much of defensive dross every other week.

It's refreshing to see that you've shown some grace here and elevated Morocco from an easy championship side to a visiting team at Etihad, as for a team believing in itself, i think Morocco certainly do and that's why they made it to the semi finalsIf they were playing on my street i would close the curtains , we see teams like them nearly every week at the Etihad , i respect teams who believe in themselves and have ability to make a game entertaining

Yes , Championship teams appear at the Etihad in the cup competitions , and lose.It's refreshing to see that you've shown some grace here and elevated Morocco from an easy championship side to a visiting team at Etihad, as for a team believing in itself, i think Morocco certainly do and that's why they made it to the semi finals
