Well done Morocco, and potentially good news for England. If we can scrape past France you would surely fancy us against the other 3 teams in our half of the draw.
The pens went the same way as yesterday’s pen. Like for like.
With a right footed taker, bottom left corner always helps the keeper because the natural curl of the ball takes it towards the keeper at first. No one had the balls to go top corner which is where the keeper can't save it.
Morocco won their group and despite the injuries their spirit shone through and African has a team in the Quarter Finals with the majority of European teams and the two mega teams from South America.
Morroco showing that it's not just at League One level where a slow passing, possession focused team can be almost entirely nullified by a deep sitting, massed ranks defence. If you can't switch up the tempo at a flick of a switch the instant a glimmer of an opening shows itself, then you won't hurt teams just by having all of the ball. Tiki Taka works when you have great players like Xavi, Iniesta, Villa etc., but even very good players can seriously struggle to make it work if the opposition are organized and defending deep.

Yes boss, we took over 1000 penalties.
And missed every f***ing one.
No guarantee of that though
Fourth African side to reach a World Cup quarter final. Could see them being the first African side to reach a semi final.
Regardless I dont wanna face them
Will we see that tomorrow night when we overcome the odds at Edgeley Park?
Hush your mouth 🤫
