To be fair, anyone tempted to think that if England had beaten France it’d be a cakewalk to the final and ultimate glory would be a fool. England are capable of beating Morocco of course, but they’re arguably the most difficult SF opponents England could have faced in this WC.Oh dear. I was just thinking we could beat this French team. Then remembered that we didn't.

They’ve been doing it regardless of the opponent, or at least on the matches I’ve watched. I think it’s an underdog thing. And football fans of most nations have never concerned themselves with fairness. At least they’re not trying to blind opposition players with lasers, like many idiots do in big matches.

Nah, it's a wanker thing. It doesn't happen in most games. Sometimes certain players who've pissed the crowd off get booed each time they get a touch but this is on another level and aimed the whole team. Piss poor. I hope they lose by 5.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
The one in first half that resulted in a yellow for Morocco was!

🇪🇸 my spirit is crying for leaving
The yellow was unfair, but it wasn't a penalty

Thank heavens for that . For a moment I thought you were going to announce a fourth team you were backing .

I missed the first half but enjoyed the second.
Morocco seemed to be missing a striker to finish off all the good work they were doing in the midfield.
So France v Argentina, could go either way. For my money Messi is more creative than those French forwards. Both the French and Argies have scored goals though, will be a good spectacle!

To be honest, I didn't feel too bad about France beating England because of Edward III's misguided notions regarding France.

I think Morroco demonstrated there that they are far from a ten men behind the ball defend well team.

In fairness, that was sorted by Henry VI (Henry II of France) but the French made a fuss about it, so they deserved to lose last week.
