General FIFA World Cup 2026 Discussion

It's a classico. Brazil v Argentina, Germany v England, Italy v Germany, France v Germany have a real history and of course Argentina v Germany.

Morocco will regret not scoring another as they are so far on top.

 

Oof can't let Vini cut in like that

 

1-1 Vinicius. Rather soft defending there from Morocco.

 

Just stop eating your fritas with mayo. That’s just vile. Other than that, we’re good.

 

What kinda half-assed defending was that? Just amateur hour. Morocco is just soft in the back. They had countless chances to go up 2-0.

 

How short is Diaz? He’s gotta be like 5’4.

 

First yellow card no surprise Casemiro. Cynical in the extreme.

 

The Moroccans just put their head down and run as fast they could. They don’t scan their surroundings.

 

Actually a large part of the Dutch eat it with spicey peanut/satay sauce.

 

Best half of football so far this WC. Morocco should have been ahead.

 

African teams are like that. Everytime we played Nigeria or even Ivory coast , they also had also has similar issues. They have the physicallity to cover grounds but always ended up shooting to nowhere.

 

That should be a yellow card.

 

This Moroccan team are much better than any of those sides. Ditto Senegal. They don't rely on physicality but technique and possession and moving the ball about. These 2 sides are the best in the CAF. I suppose the Moroccan weakness is lack of a top class striker.

 

Is Morocco just playing for a draw? The brazucas will score if they allow them to play like this….

 

Sadly yes even though Brazil is there for the taking.

 

Bono milking two injuries in a matter of minutes.

 

Morocco will be in trouble with or without him.

 

All their players has midfielder mindset much like Croatia.

Brazil looked one dimensional, no one-two passes in center, relying solely on their wingers making diagonal run over & over.

 

Petered out unfortunately. Brazil none too convincing. Morocco very decent. Bouaddi is a great pick up for them. Very calm and mature for his age.

 

Morocco almost stole it at the end.

 

Think the issue is the lack of a real quality striker. Doesn't pull off his CB or into the channels and not physical enough or hard running. So a bit powderpuff upfront.

And also the modern disease of not taking the risk of going past a defending player one on one to break a system. It's backward and sideways. Percentage stuff.

 

Scotland the brave. I'm sure they'll beat Haiti. Should be some good craic where the Scottish fans are and plenty of tunes.

 

Yea its like watching Spain in last 3 WC . Nobody's willing to take on defenders and would only shoot once every 20 minutes. The number 6 in particular is overdribbling & just keeps making sideways & backward passes.

 

I don’t know… Apparently, Haiti whipped New Zealand not long ago and drew Iceland.‘ There is also a very large Haitian community here in the US.

Scotland should win but you never know.
