U20s vs. Morocco, Oct. 12, 2025 (Pre-/PBP/Post-Match Thread)

These VAR challenges are annoying.

 

Very timely.

There was no foul for the Morocco goal.

 

As long as the ball was still in play that was a PK. But it was close.

 

Eh, I don’t like how long he’s taking…

 

agreed. theyre valuing possession too much........they need shots on goal not empty possession.....

 

This review is taking way longer than it should

 

Whew. Now convert it.

 

For some reasons, I kind of like it…lol…still penal…so teams don’t feel like there’s injustices

 

Ref trying to ice the kicker

 

Good placement but that was close, lol

 

That was a accurate penalty wrong way tho

 

I hate short run up penalties

 

Yesssssss….Game on, guys

 

Nonsense. They've given the ball away playing it forward aggressively 97 times, that's not indication of empty possession.

 

Close. Funny enough, if had been better placed in the corner, the keeper would have saved it.

 

Kind of weak, but the placement was perfect so it made up for it.

Game on!

 

Weird tackle from Cresmachi lol

 

We got away with one there

 

Lucky, VERY lucky to be 1-1. The PK was not even particularly good but it was good enough.

Is anybody else hearing the volume from the announcers drop dramatically at times. I find it quite refreshing to just barely hear the morons in the booth.

 

The US with 22 long passes so, 10 successful.

 

Interesting 1 first half…Surprising that Marocco goes for bunkering

 

I'm watching the international feed. British guy with no knowledge of either team trying his best from a booth somewhere.

 

Kind of wild that every single goal Morocco has conceded in this tournament has been a penalty. Impressive to not give up one goal through the run of play in 4.5 games, but they really gotta stop committing them

 

take out corcoran stop playing a double pivot vs a bunkering in team

send more than 3 players into attack

usa is playing 4 on 8 on attacks and has nowhere to go with the ball

 

Is that interesting as "May you live in interesting times"?
