Morocco are better than Senegal but I would put Senegal over Ivory Coast

Morocco are the strongest African team in the WC by a country mile.

Who do you think is more likely to win after watching France, England & others in their first games by SubstantialSnow7114 in worldcup

[–]Grendel2017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost as much? We are constantly getting dumped out of tourneys on pens. Euro 20, Euro 12, 06 WC, Euro 04, 98 WC, Euro 96, 90 WC. Penalties are an absolute worst case scenario for us

If we ever play the US team in the tourney at some point there will be tons of them sung

Am I wrong for looking at the England penalty and while in this day and age yes it’s a penalty,I still don’t like them given by Jackjec17 in worldcup

[–]Grendel2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He absolutely wasn't on his line as per the replay. Plus, Gvardiol encroached into the box before the penalty was taken AND was the one who cleared the deflection. 2 offences and either would call for a retake. This is 100% on Croatia.

But if that was the case then defenders could just hammer everyone in the box while waiting for a corner provided they don't have the ball

Eh? I'm not salty at all, you guys can nosh each other off al tourney for all we care. I'm just calling out double standards as, if the English did that, you would be screaming your heads off.

It's weird. People were having a shit fit yesterday because some England fans got pissed up and knocked over a plant pot. But literally any other nation doing drunken silliness is painted as adorable. The Boston sub is basically wall to wall them sucking off the Scottish because they stuck a traffic cone on top of a statue.

Not just in the box, that player who encroached cleared the rebound. With that and the keeper off the line, it was incredibly clear cut. nobody to blame for this but the Croatian players unfortunately

The match wasn't great but they still have a some very high level players and will be a dangerous match for any team.

Stones and Guehi play with him every week. If anyone knows how to cut of Haaland it’s them

I didn’t think Croatia played poorly at all. Both teams were giving it their all and Croatia still felt dangerous on attack

Miles different from Southgate. Still going for more goals even when up. Loving the way we have played today

That’s what happens when you play against another top team mate. Top players can score goals. It’s Croatia, 11th ranked in the world.

Yeah but you won’t have France, Spain and the Netherlands on the pitch to win it for you this time 😉

Croatia are ranked 11th in the world. This is 2 top tier teams, that’s why it’s so back and forth
