World Cup (2018) - Group B (Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran)

We didn't deserve to score. Our final third composure was awful. Hakimi and amrabat useless in attack. Belhanda with a poor game. Feel bad for benatia, he was probably the best player today. Harit and ziyech flashy but ineffective, especially with their final ball.
Overall a draw was the right result.. until bouheddouz decides to lose his mind and score on the wrong team

That being said, Iran is hella lucky the ref didn't start handing out cards. They played like animals today, they were lucky not to get a red at some point.

That being said, we DO have a small chance of getting something out of Spain and Portugal. Renard needs to change the attacking scheme up completely. Morroco were solid defensively.. but the attack was disjointed.

In my opinion Algeria in 2014 were better simply because their cohesion in the final third was so good despite their wobbly defense.

Benatia can hit some good diagonal balls.

Had money on 1-0. Get rekt

We were only hitting diagonal balls because the link up between the midfield and attack was so poor that benatia got frustrated and tried to force the issue..

Fennec how is it going to work if you play Wingers at CM? I think it'll really get worse against the next two unless you sort out the counters at the least.

Yeah Morocco's attack wasn't balanced at all. He played with like 7 wingers in the starting 11. Ziyech needs to play on the wing rather than at CM. He needs to sacrifice one of those offensive players for a CM/DM.

I don't have any problems with the defense. They played really well. We just overcomitted because like you said, besides boussoufa and belhanda who aren't those type of players, we don't have any true CMs that can move the play forward (a bentaleb, or a modric type player)

So in my opinion morroco need to play a 4-4-2/4-2-2-2 because to be honest that's the best they can do with the personnel. Despite boudheddouz's shocker I would play him with another forward to make up for the lack of link up in the attack.

lmfao is that cesc in the BBC studio

His face says it all ffs

Thanks
Only our 2nd ever win
cant believe it



first choice DM Was suspended
Ebrahimi #9 deputized well
Cheshmi#4 is DM  but played Cb today
Queiroz omitted leader of the defence
dropped first choice Left back
played Haj safi #3 who has mostly played CM recent years at LB
Amiri #11 is left winger played Cm today and did well
Ansarifard #10 is CF but played left wing and after sub switched to CM

when you consider all these changes and how many players weren't playing their best positions we really did well

two injuries are big worry,

but lets just enjoy the moment

TIL Portugal’s coach is called Fernando Santos

Eyes on Bruno Fernandes playing for his next move as well

Penalty Portugal. Ronaldo fouled.

Might get overruled on VAR.

What a dive

KKOOOOMMMMMMMANDERRRRRRRRRRR

EL KOMMANDER FFS

GREATEST OF ALL TIME

BETTER GOAL THAN MARADONA's FRAUD GOAL AGAINST ENGLAND

chat is open lads

Chat's open, guys.

Silva having a 'mare

love how overrated Isco is among English pundits and fans

You've got to be kidding me

can't believe these idiots still start Iniesta and Busquets in 2018
these were finished for the NT already in 2014, even if Alonso got scapegoated

and over Thiago

Thiago would be an upgrade on all of Iniesta, Busquets, and Isco each

Guedes letting the team down FFS, Valencia just dropped 50m on this numpty? Must have been another PSG scamming the books

also, let's state for the record that Guedes is no Robben

lmao Ronaldo all the shrills and frills only to hit the freekick against the wall

Koke Thiago 2 man midfield

that's enough ffs

morons


COSTAAAAAAAA
