    Honestly.. i think Leao should be starting. But it might help them in the way Chiesa was used in the Euro 2020.

    Chiesa started from the bench... and then was fresh later on and was a knockout round beast.

    Leao is one of the best and in form forwards. Very strange how he gets snubbed. Seems like maybe him and the coach don't vibe. When Leao came on against Uruguay he seemed extremely lazy and couldn't be bothered to help out defesivley. When Leao is having a good game he is unplayable

    Germany hasn't had immigration from its former African colonies, because after 1918, it didn't have any African colonies. France did.

    I think Ronaldo lost his starting spot indefinitely, was not expecting this big of a result.

    If they play England in the semi, they should start Ronaldo for that game only just to troll England fans.

    I have zero idea who wins this competition !

    Any out of the last 8 other than Croatia I’d say … Holland and Morocco are real dark horses as well .

    The other five all have an equal chance .. guess it’s gonna come down to a bit of luck judging by Spain hitting the post with the last kick of extra time ..

    First day without any games!

    Arrgghh! :(

    Interesting that only 3 players on their roster play in the The Botola Pro or the Moroccan professional league....

    Please. The biggest game ever.

    Ronaldo would have to start.

    No way ..

    The coach would get slaughtered if they lose and didn’t start the young striker who is on a hot streak of scoring

    no. i think Ronaldo starting is a detriment to them now. They play so much better without him.. tighter.

    To me, Alisson and Bounou are the safest goalkeepers left in the world cup. I think both goalkeepers steer their teams to the final
