I didn't think they'd beat Belgium, Spain or Portugal, but they did. They don't play pretty, attacking football but then they don't really have the players to do that.I highly doubt that Morocco could beat either France or England at the level they played today. I didn't watch all the games in the tournament, but from what I did see France v England was the best side, by far.
Didn’t see it??? Didn’t you watch the game?Di
Didn't see it.
What I did see is Weghorst following Messi into the tunnel to fight for a finished game, but hey. I am not impartial.
I guess I miss thatDidn’t see it??? Didn’t you watch the game?
Didn't you see the whole Dutch bench invading the court to fight after a Dutch foul?This was disgraceful.....
Now you’re being disengenuous. And you weren’t telling the truth when you claimed you didn’t see Paredes Fire the ball into the Dutch bench, because this ensues immediately after that incident. And it wasn’t a Dutch foul, it was an Argentine foul on Ake, and when that call was made was when Parades launched the ball into Dutch bench; and like most cowards, immediately turned his back and scurried away.Didn't you see the whole Dutch bench invading the court to fight after a Dutch foul?
Is this Messi confronting Weghorst? Or is Weghorst following Messi to te press zohttps://youtu.be/rO2uvwI6t3Ine?Now you’re being disengenuous.

Much like the coward Messi, who confronted Weghorst not vice versa. It was in his post match interview and he questioned why Weghorst was looking at him and called him dummy twice. Content to hide behind a throng of reporters.
A classless group. And now I’m hoping to see their demise in this tournament.
Again; you are skewing the facts. Weghorst claims Messi slighted him after the game. BOTH teams go through that tunnel to lockers. Weghorst isn’t heated, as you can plainly see in his interaction with Lautaro (possibly the ONLY Argentine player that displayed ANY class).Is this Messi confronting Weghorst?

What? Why would this thread lead you to believe not watching The World Cup was a good idea? It's been brilliant. Loads of great games and big upsets, star players like Messi and Mbappé turning it on, an underdog African nation beating 3 of the big boys of European football AND making it to the semi finals for the first time in history. If you're a football fan and you haven't watched this World Cup you've definitely missed out.This is the first time I’ve not watched the World Cup since I was old enough to know what it was. Judging from this thread, I’m glad to have missed it.
It was an exciting game. France played better in the first half but we were better in the 2nd. The ref didn't do England any favours but that's the way it goes sometimes. Kane scored one penalty but unfortunately missed his second. Shame really because if that second goes in it would've been level and probably gone to extra time and we definitely had the momentum.Last night I thought France were excellent.....at fouling! As for the referee, is he myopic or biased or both?
As for Kane's missed penalty, don't they practice taking penalties? A case of Kane and not able methinks .
In the end the better team won but in my humble opinion, they won by dubious tactics.

Even though you haven't watched any of this World Cup you should definitely watch the Morocco v France semi final. Morocco have got virtually no chance but there's a tiny possibility they could actually pull it off and win. It'd have to be the greatest World Cup shock in history if they could beat the mighty French side in a World Cup quarter final.This is the first time I’ve not watched the World Cup since I was old enough to know what it was. Judging from this thread, I’m glad to have missed it.
No, they aren't pretty to watch but they get the job done. Not every team is stacked with talented players like France, Spain, Argentina, Belgium etc. They can only work with what they've got. They set themselves up well tactically and they've got amazing determination and team spirit.I don't expect anything good from this World Cup, I'll bet there's something fishy going on. I find Portugal's strange strategy surprising. Morocco is one of the teams with the worst soccer technique, they just have good physical shape, but as players, they are the worst.
By “something fishy”; you mean besides the bribery scandal they used to get the tournament in the first place? Or the brushing aside of the scandal of the thousands of slave laborers used (mostly from Nepal) to build the stadiums?I don't expect anything good from this World Cup, I'll bet there's something fishy going on.
