Come on the Atlas Lions! (Morocco)
Scenes in Rotterdam will be pretty spectacular if they manage to get a result.
What a lot of people don’t realise about Morocco is that they were considered one of the best national football teams in the world when they ranked 10th in the FIFA World Rankings in April 1998, as the first African national team in history to be ranked by FIFA in the top ten national football teams. They are also the only African national team in history to have been at the top of the FIFA World Rankings for three consecutive years, by FIFA from 1997 to 1999. As of October 2022, Morocco is ranked as the 22nd best national team in the world.
Do like a sideways stance for the anthems. Wonder whether Croatia were planning to do it anyway, or whether they saw Morocco doing it and got rattled.
Nordin Amrabat!
Dejan Lovren!
Sofiane Boufal!
World Cup!
Lot of talk about the ultimate World Cup team, but I reckon Luka Modrić is one of the ultimate World Cup players
My neighbourhood’s about 20% Moroccan i think
Gonna walk around the block and do a flag audit in a bit
Shame Turkey didn’t qualify
Andrej Kramaric!
$2 on Perisic first goal, let’s do this
Is Hartson doing every game?
Quite liked Hartson during the Wales game, not sure I’ve got the energy for Hartson three days in a row
He’s really shit. During the Wales game it was fine because it was like the old sky sports fanzone commentary thing. As a neutral he’s rubbish
Suppose as DiS’ resident Germany fan (nope, I don’t think there’s anyone else on here who supports German), I better get limbered up for 1pm
Oh its a different Amrabat. That’s a shame
He’s one of those who clearly doesn’t do any research either. Not expecting Guardian level wonkery for terrestrial tv, a bit of effort wouldn’t go amiss though.
Croatia are usually one of those annoying teams that play to the level of their opponents aren’t they
Dunno if this is still the case actually
Or actually watching the game he’s commentating on. was a point yesterday when he started saying that the game was over, whilst obviously still being played
love Hakim Ziyech
