France v Morocco semi

[Sue]

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

And The Auld Alliance etc...

 

[not-bono-ever]

I am impressed with the athleticism of some of the lesser teams - Morocco and USA particularly- its only the advantage of experience of their foes that had managed to keep them on top. But Morocco have been excellent if you look at who they have dumped out in their run- they are no mugs

Some great passing and movement in their right sides attacks. Suppose it shouldn't be too much of a shock as they are African champs. Wonder how England would have fared against them?

They're not African champs, that's Senegal who we stuffed

 

[ska invita]

They won it 2020 and 2018 tho

Aaaah, yes. The commentators were on about the manager winning the African equivalent of the African Champions League I think. That's what got me befuddled. That and falling asleep for stretches of the first half.

The yellow was unfair, but it wasn't a penalty

he cleared him out with two feet.

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

Yeah, we (I) need to stop patronising them now. They're just a really good football team. Totally deserving of their run.

Two excellent semis and this one was by far the more competitive of the two. I hope Morocco push on from this.

 

[twistedAM]

Alvarez has this.
But my inner conspiraloon says Qatar give the VAR guys a million each to thank France for delivering the vote to bring the World Cup there.
But yeah I hope Julian gets the winner.

But he was on the ball

French police arrested 40 far right hooligans going to attack Morrocan fans after the semi final

Mondial: 40 proches de l'ultradroite interpellés à Paris pour port d'armes prohibées

Le groupe a été interpellé dans le XVIIe arrondissement de la capitale lors d'un contrôle. «Ils voulaient clairement en découdre sur les Champs» a souligné une source policière.

But he was on the ball

he had lost control.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Tbf Olivier old son, at this point if he's on it...

 

[dessiato]

he had lost control.

It doesn't really matter now. But I think there'll be debate for months to come.
