    Remember when England drew with the United States, and everyone said that Spain wouldnt do something like that?

    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.

    Unimpressed by Spain, one half decent game in the tournament. Morocco deserved that, good solid side.

    England vs France really should be the Finalists of our half of the draw.

    No guarantee of that though

    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.

    Yet again the player who comes on in the 119th minute for the shoot-out misses.

    Morocco are a great little side - they will be difficult for most sides to beat.

    Fourth African side to reach a World Cup quarter final. Could see them being the first African side to reach a semi final.

    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.

    Well done, the Moroccan ‘keeper. The rest of the team defender well but they never looked like scoring.

    Anyone who cries because they lost a penalty shootout in the round of 16 hasn’t faced enough challenges in their life

    I think an England or France with the attacking talent would have made short work of Morocco today.

    Regardless I dont wanna face them

    The look on these Moroccan players' and fans' faces - that's what Cup football is all about.

    Will we see that tomorrow night when we overcome the odds at Edgeley Park?

    Morocco look like a bastard of a side to beat. I could see them going past the quarters.

    I definitely think that in shoot outs you should leather it.

    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.

    Ronaldo has been benched for Portugal. Piers won't be happy.
