Round of 16 Matches

[Fedlingen]

Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench tonigh, wondering when the next Piers Morgan interview will be held.

 

[ilikecheese]

Was Spain actually worse than Japan?

 

[miami]

Bono elevated Morocco to the next round and gave Spain a terrible case of vertigo

Just like a mole, digging in a hole

Bono moved in mysterious ways to stop those pens. ONE hell of a keeper

 

[COYBL25]

20 minutes plus the usual 7/8/9 minutes time added on.

It gave them about half an hour to determine whether they needed to get on terms with Japan or not.

Its about the least controversial statement you could make about the last half hour of tonight's football: Spain managed that situation to face Morocco not Croatia. I dont blame them either.

Well, I have to say that this has aged well lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

 

[Drico]

Everyone saying Spain are boring but Morocco are tedious FC

Yeah, but it's about resources. Spain have the resources to play with far more variety and flair than that - and still win. The Moroccans have less scope. The Spanish have diminished themselves, the Moroccans elevated themselves. And they have a Bono who we can actually like.

I'm calling it now: if Switzerland win tonight, England could very well win this World Cup.

Amrabat is a dog

Only France can beat Spain. Right @davek?

When did I say that?

 

[Walken]

Kills me the way Ziyech was destroyed with tuchels horrible tactics, great player

 

[allen]

Morocco are doing the best with what they have

Spain choose to play that way when they could play in a more exciting fashion if they wanted to

Absolutely 100%.

Morocco did exactly what they had to. It was their best route to victory, and they took it.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Was Spain actually worse than Japan?

Imo yes as Japan had had an exhausting, physical game and were unused to the pressure.

Spain didn’t have either excuse.

 

[tsubaki]

Was Spain actually worse than Japan?

yes

Busquet's penalty was saved with one-handed contempt

 

[TheBigIguana]

Kills me the way Ziyech was destroyed with tuchels horrible tactics, great player

He'd be a hero at a slightly smaller club

I was astonished by their body language, to a man.

 

[Drico]

Was Spain actually worse than Japan?

Unquestionably. I said it last week when the Japanese beat them - and they went on to have a far better tournament than Sid Lowe's virgin penetrators.
