@wh1teout I'm not crying here but I want to watch football because it's an entertaining sport, not this garbage tactics if you know what is going on in African football, especially at the club level you know this kind of defensive tactic is just notorious there, you just put a defensive block with 10 players and wait for a foul or contra-attacks there's nothing creative in this but unfortunately, next world cup will have so many teams play with the same formation and tactics and this will probably kill this sport completely from this day on as I said earlier 👍

Go and ask messi if he wants to play football against Croatia or lossing the game with a staggering performance He'll fucking pick the final card , look at brazil and how outrageous they were against Croatia they conquered literally the pitch , do u think Neymar if he's given the opportunity to replay the game he would play same old same old ,hell no he wouldn't.

Morrocos deffense was one of the best defensive display I have seen for awhile . As the game progressed I had a feeling that they had more man than portugal . Compared to Atleticos very ugly playstyle Morroco played supperbly and Yes if they continue like this they may have chance to win it all . Winner is not decided by the history , it is decided how well team plays , team chemistry is at the highest level , they have energy , they have key top players .

[@georgesaad8886]

Not all of Portugal but Pepe and Fernandez hinted that the ref wanted them to lose because he is Argentine and wanted to remove them as a threat to Argentina in the final. So dumb and sore loser attitude. I watched the entire game, the ref was fine.

[@dasrite]

@@georgesaad8886 No he wasn't, there was a penalty against Bruno Fernandes which was not given, other sides got a penalty for less, and the conversation Pepe started is a poingnant one, should referees from nations still competing be referring matches that have a bearing on the future matchups for their own teams?

[@georgesaad8886]

​The point is that it did not matter because the ref did not affect the results of the game and it was not a penalty according to many analysts

Yet Pepe is mad at the referee because he's argentinian 😂💀

[@dasrite]

Somewhat legitimate as Bruno was tackled in the box and neither a penalty nor a VAR check was awarded. Argentina got penalties for less contact, so it's a legitimate point by Pepe and it illustrates a major question i think, should referees from nations still competing be involved in matches that can have bearing on their own national squad's future? If there's let's say Brazil v Morocco and Spain v Qatar in a semi final Should a Spanish referee get to referee Brazil v Morocco? Wouldn't he have every reason to screw Brazil to give his own side an easier matchup later on?

[@amritlohia8240]

@@dasrite The replays showed it was clearly a dive, and indeed Bruno Fernandes has a history of diving in such situations.

Depends on strategy of france.they have to draw the Moroccan midfieldplayers over the midline.otherwise 0-0 or Morocco win.

[@Redd-Haired]

I dont think Morocco can last for 120min, in addition to all the injuries they have this tactic needs so much strengh and power, and as you can see, the moroccan players are just using too much energy that it feels like they are fighting in a battlefield. And the only reason why they lasted for 120min against Spain is because Spain made it so easy for Morocco by possessing the ball and keeping it in their Half pitch.

Without any disregard for Morocco's tactics, there was a clear bias from the TV station. There is no other angles of the supposed penalties or even replays, it is as if they are trying to cover something up or preventing the referee from doing it's job. That's a tactic for a whole different video.

Beside morocco great play, I can say the distance between portugal player is quite far, that's made player hard to build the attack, look at england their position between player isn't far so declan rice can command all the player to prepare the attack and they can win in midfield. And in the 2nd half every player become selfish. Everyone want to make a goal, they don't play as a team. And most ridiculous thing is bruno statement after the match, that's really unprofessional statement came from him.

[@nijhumchowdhury8740]

I don’t know why this manager didn’t allow William Carvalho to play in the starting eleven against Morocco as he could have intercepted a lot of Moroccan players and on top that this manager is so bad that he continuously uses only 4-1-2-3 as formation throughout the entire tournament this is pathetic managing from the manager and also he didn’t start Ronaldo as well.

[@alexhermawans]

First of all, he knows better his player. Portugal played good game so far but until they lose to Korean, he become doubt of his formation was read by other team. So i think he dont have back up plan for that.
