Corvinus85 Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Morocco has vanquished the old colonizers. There's poetry here - Morocco faced both Spain and Portugal in the group stage of the 2018 WC and couldn't do much against them, now they beat them both back to back.

And a Croatia vs Morocco final would be a slap in FIFA'S face, I'm hoping for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who I'm suppose to root for. I'm more English than French, and likely more Irish and Scottish than either of the former. I did study French for four years, but it's not my native tongue even if you Brits demand that we use extra vowels for so many words. You're both scoundrels. Vive la France! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Still not watching. But as a matter of principle. England failures are always a reason to be cheery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Watching Ronaldo walk off, ignoring the fans and his team mates and going off for a bit of a self indulgent weep, I almost felt sorry for him.…  … nah of course I didn’t! Hahah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I feel like I've done enough to the English by repeatedly saying on this forum that tea is hot garbage anyways and throwing it into the sea is just cruel to the fish.

kairparavel Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I feel somewhat better about Canada's results now that two semifinalists have come from Group F. A young squad, they squandered chances and made some mistakes but also held their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can promise you though is me being annoying if Mbappe scores in a way that displays how much more athletic he is than everyone else.

Jeor Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Great save by Lloris. That looked like it should have been a penalty. Or perhaps free kick just outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
