It wasn't easy for France. It took them sweat and blood to beat the South American side. Olisé did not look as sharp as previously. Dembelé was not dribbling as in other matches. Mbappe could not run. Until Doue took the ball, tried to avoid some defenders and one of them hit his leg in the box. Penalty and Mbappé gave the lead to France. That was it!
In the other match , the first half showed a Canadian team very intense, high pressure and recovering the ball quickly. However in the second half, a shot out of the box in a corner kick gave the lead to Morocco. Since then, Morocco could play with plenty of spaces , running and scored two more times to reach QFs against France.
Both teams played in the 2022 World Cup semifinal, where France beat Morocco 2-0. Will this time be different?
Tonight, two great matches. In the first one, Brazil meets Norway. Our head says that the South American will win it. However, what if Odegaard and Haaland connect tonight and cause fear in the Brazil defense? I think that the nordic team has a chance.
Then, England will fight against one of the host, Mexico, and altitude (2240 m above sea level). England has had just a couple of days to get used to it. It seems a short time. We will see what happens. Unfortunately , again, a very unsociable hour here in Europe.
Good luck everyone!
World Cup is over. See you in 2030.
Hahaha, the best is coming!
Exactly. Kind of shocking to see how easy ("easy") it was to get France off their game
Morocco can play in a similar way but more skilled players. It's going to be fun to watch!
I'll understand the argument of France x Paraguai was boring, but i can't say it, the compromise of hermanos to play the old brand of ugly almost horrible Ball is jist beautiful, unfortunately for them it wasn't enough, it shown to Morocco how to do it
Brasil wins 3-1 today
Vini scores and assists and our future 9 Endrick also scores
It was hard to watch though the good part was I wasn't supporting either team. I can imagine French supporters suffering through the match.
All the best for your team tonight!
I watched the first half, then I had to go to bed. This is exactly how I envisioned France winning. Doué in, bringing danger in the surface, and causing a penalty.
Glad they made it through, and that Deschamps listened to my advise 😅
The match against Morocco will be entertaining. Two great teams.
Sure it will as Morocco plays different.
