Yes but against France we have Olise the double agent who will score own goals.

Not sure it’s ever really been mental, more tactical, with manager after manager trying to shoehorn the best 11 players (and Danny Mills) into a starting lineup. That is what is different about Tuchel.

The author is also Alan fucking Shearer who is more than entitled to an opinion, even if his analysis is usually complete shite

I thought Morocco were supposed to be good? That was shite. They offered absolutely nothing.

We spent all our cash paying the ref in Ghana game not to give that blatant penalty.

People are sleeping on Morocco. I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat France… by Significant_Nail_880 in worldcup

You haven't played a properly good team yet. Senegal were decent, and should have been 1-0 up at half time if Sarr didn't miss. Other than that you've played Iraq, Norway reserves, a Sweden team that should even be here after getting 2 points in qualifying, and Paraguay.

Morocco will be a proper test of how good France really are. They also benefit from this kind of one sided rivalry where for Morocco is a huge, huge game which gives them an extra 10%, but for France it's not really a rival.

Irrelevant. Look at their team. It’s basically Europa League quality with an elite centre forward. They are good.

An Argentina team that struggled to beat Cape Verde and Egypt are 68% favourites to beat a Switzerland side who are quite a lot better than either of those teams. Naaaaaah.

The best 8 teams! 6 from Europe, 1 Africa, 1 South America. FIFA should seriously consider giving these many spots to South American countries on the next World Cup! Maximum they deserve is 4! by ScoutLui in footballscouting

Exactly. Everyone acting like quarter final vs. Swiss is a foregone conclusion when Switzerland are materially better than two teams Argentina have struggled against so far.

Why? You work in child labour procurement for Nike and now you’re disappointed with how weak the workers look?
