Morocco v. Spain Doha (Education City Stadium) Dec 6, 2022 6 pm - Qatar 3 pm - London (GMT) 10 am - New York City
https://saturdays.substack.com/p/the-big-morocco-spain-preview Big data-infused preview -Morocco a very strong box defense, Olmo crucial to receive inside the box -Bookies seem to suspect Spain can be gotten at the back, Morocco have basically 3 players who can do it -lots more here
Despite the conspiracy theories about Spain losing on purpose against Japan, I hope Morocco will try to mimic Japan in that game and use the players who can press. Maybe use a 3-43 formation too, it looked solid in the end of the two games against Belgium and Canada : Bono Yamiq Saiss Aguerd Hakimi Amrabat Jabrane Mazraoui Ziyech Ennesyri Aboukhlal
Llorente is a strange change from Enrique here . We didn't change anything same line-up against Croatia & Belgium.
Yeah if you go up the top of the big rock of Gibraltar, you can see that while there's one big rock here, there's morocco'ver there
Morocco has the worst fans in the entire WC , they whistle whenever the opponents have position and the problem is they play counter so the majority of the match you hear this , so annoying.
Didn't Spain have like 82% possession in their last game? If there's any repeat of that, it's going to be quite a long night...
