    somehow I still think the first half of Argie/Australia was still more boring

    the thing is Spain are so damn slow when moving the ball meanwhile Morocco are lightning quick.

    I hope this match doesn’t end up in a penalty shootout.

    But who is? :rolleyes: As far as I'm concerned Spain is just as guilty.

    Well, the match I'm watching has one team with two stacks of 5 on defense, and pushing nobody forward.

    they just have no answers against teams that defend like this. Just way too passive

    Morocco deserve to be knocked out for parking that huge bus.

    Both teams finished the 90 minutes with less than 0.50 xG each.

    A snooze fest at its finest.

    Exactly. It's not Morocco's fault Spain is so slow in transition. What they are not supposed to get back and defend.

    Spain with the strongest half and really gave it a go once Aguerd was out.

    If they didn't told me nothing I would think this is 2018 Spain under Hierro, each game they are playing is worse than the previous one.

    Spain only 2 shots on target.
    This proves how tough group F was and Belgium would have probably qualified in most others groups.

    Dude it's not parking a bus.

    SPAIN IS SLOW IN TRANSITION.

    What we are watching is actually Spains fault.

    Morocco is clearly parking the bus too. They should try to attack.

    They've had the best chances.

    Spain takes their time, it doesn't work.
