No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

lol @ pat nevin, the thinking man's footballer. Liverpool shd have not player Salah in champions league final out of respect 4 egypt imo, he was always likely to get roughed up

not played

sticking with Germany to retain

He’s unstoppable.

Bloody hell.

James won the GB last time with 6 goals and Muller in 2010 with 5

Was about to say - he could equal James two games in.

As it stands, morrocco going out with this result.

Morocco even

Glad that before the tournament i never voiced my generic football hipster hot take that this could be the year the north african teams break through lol

Morocco look like the better team tbh

Someone is going to absolutely destroy Portugal at some point. Unfortunately I don't think England can get at them until the semis

the delay on bbc i-player is such I thought xxxp meant an equaliser.

France revenge narrative actually. Yeah, it can be them

xp Just be thankful it's not ITV Player

Argentina to hump portugal in quarters with messi scoring four goals, ronaldo sent off and vince macmahon coming on the pitch and getting powerslammed

Started watching after the goal but frankly this has looked more like Morocco’s game the whole time.

ok yeah or argentina haha

Morocco have the look of a hard luck story here

Or Denmark!

watched three minutes and already've seen at least a dozen players dive smh

are denmark in the world cup

morocco knocking it about v nicely which seems naive now that games are all settled from set plays

we've found another Bad Ref

xp or big lumpy backpasses from polish defenders lol

Really want Morocco to do well and progress. I believe they could grow into the WC.

ziyech has been everything I hoped for & it wld be nice if he got a goal

Ziyech not near his usual standard tbf

Morocco look like they shd get on the scoresheet, but portugal look like they've another goal in them as well. 2 or 3- 1 Por I think

moroccan press in effect and very furious

it's a bit headless but that's part of the charm. reminds me a bit of germany's frantic play when they want it too much

portugal have been lucky to get so few cards considering how many fouls they've conceded

I’m resigned to Morocco never scoring.

yeah but if you're not going to score, this is the way to do it

Portugal are sleepwalking through this game. Morocco deserve something here... but they really need to work the keeper.

Lol they wouldn't score if they carried on playing after portugal leave the pitch

extremely bad & pathetic performance from portugal, really want to see them annihilated by someone

I thought the Jon Champion/Ally McCoist coupling for yesterday's afternoon game had sewn up the most fucking inane/smug commentary team but the Beeb's current line-up is in the running. Keown is god awful.

the moroccan forwards have done nothing

Fuck Flopnaldo

FAJR on FIRE

(let's hope so anyway)

benatia should have just decked pepe there

You know Portugal are doing well when Pepe's acting like he's being gunned down

xp otm

Amazing from Pepe

can't see them getting a better chance than that

These teams who can't score should take a leaf out of Mexico's book and start leaving two or three guys up the pitch for the counter-attack. Less shuffling around in a 4-5-1 only to get beaten 1-0.

That match was excruciating

Portugal shouldn't scare anybody

mexico had joy bc germany had one defensive midfielder, a playmaker they could press and a right back who wanted to play CF. mexico could also shoot at the goal
