RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Itv are having their Bellingham and Mbappe love in at the moment ahead of the QF clash. They are certainly skilful and may well be wonderful humans but apparently so is every young player on the planet right now. Every single one is wonderful, mature for their years, destined to be the best thing since sliced bread blah, blah, blah. Not one young player is an obnoxious, over-confident, big-headed tw*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) One of the Moroccan players just beat his man without touching the ball, I don't think I have seen that in years. The last player I remember doing it was John Barnes. Edited December 6, 2022 by Port Said Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last player I remember doing it was John Barnes. Great, wasn’t it?! And he seemed so surprised to have beaten him that he stopped momentarily. But the defended was so flat footed by it that the Moroccan player was able to get away from a standing start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Only caught the last 20 minutes, but really enjoying Morocco's bravery (recklessness ?). Plying out from anywhere, and that last ditch saving block by Amrabat , brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Quite an enjoyable game so far. Morocco’s goalkeeper’s distribution is interesting and, perhaps I am wrong, but does anybody else get the impression the referee is favouring Morocco, slightly? Quite a lot, actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is letting the player be more physical than most of the other refs I've seen this World Cup and that is definitely favoring Morocco at the moment.

You mean he's allowing it to be a contact sport - as it should be. Refs who don't allow any sort of physical contact are favouring teams like Spain and Brazil, who have a propensity to go down like a sack of spuds at the slightest challenge and in particular when they lose the ball under any sort of pressure in a dangerous area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that’s why the match is so enjoyable. Another reason, of course, is that it is always nice to see an upset and, the more this match goes on - just under half an hour of normal time left as I type - the more I suspect this might be the first and only upset in this round of 16.

Midred Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Noticed one or two of the Spanish players get tackled and just stop playing inviting the ref to blow for a foul, which he inevitably.does. Ronaldo has this down to a fine art! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
