PBP Thread: Match #19, Portugal vs Morocco, 20 June 2018 [R]

i thought of that argument. obviously portugal does have other players, but they simply are not anywhere near the level of cronaldo. you guys have been talking about how good andre silva and co are but they were invisible. without cronaldo your team would not advance. you are not even a top 10 team.

 

Morocco IMO needs to take some risks and bring in Harit for Boussoufa and El Kaabi for Boutaib. Whether they lose 1:0 or by a bigger margin, they need to change the score.

 

sure they are good players, but without cronaldo do you think they would be scoring against spain, and probably not even against morocco. portugal would likely not get out of this group if it wasnt for 1 man: cronaldo.

 

Guedes & Bernardo have been awful, dude.

 

The referee is a total embarrassment. He calls fo Portugal.

 

wonderful save

 

Good save.

 

omg, Morocco almost there, wow, those saves!

 

Portuguese goal keeper was awesome.

 

BBC presenter just burned Amrabat; "That bump on the head turned him into a better player." Lol

 

Great save by Patricio.

 

Lol Morocco throwing themselves to the ground now.

 

What does a Portuguese player have to do to get a yellow?

 

Might be funny, but ridiculous. Amrobat was by far Morocco's best player against Iran as well.

 

portuguese fans criticized Iran for playing defensive against morocco... and now they are hanging on for dear life against morocco. the european champions playing bunker ball against mighty morocco... how embarrassing.

 

like coach, like strikers... Morocco honestly doesn't deserve to advance. In nearly 2 games they have had dozens of shots on goal, haven't been able to score once.

Sorry, but that's not knockout rounds quality at a WC

 

what this shows me is that Portugal is a one man team. If Ronaldo goes out they will struggle big time in the later stages.

 

Moroccans started getting physical.

 

Well a team is good only when it has a player that sticks out of course

 

Yeah that does not make them bad players
Guedes had monster season for Vale

 

everyone knows that. Only the Portuguese fans are so stubborn not to admit their team is bad

 

Ziyech can take good freekicks. Hope he converts this.

 

Morocco seriously deserve a goal. If only they had a good striker

 

so, who sticks out in the German team? Brazil's team? Spain's team?

 

I didn't catch that game. Good luck today.
