France v Morocco (Semi Final)

Messi & Ronaldo replica shirts the biggest seller's to Qatari locals but reckon it'll be 90%/10% Argentinian on Sunday .

 

Played out as I expected, but such a shame for Morocco. Just too much for them in the end, France so clinical.

 

Mostly Argentinian fans though. Supposedly 40 thousand travelled

World cup final is a 3 pm start. Early just like the 2018 final. Dont get it why not just stay with the 7pm kick off

 

7pm kick off is 11pm in Qatar, 3pm GMT seems like a reasonable compromise to me

 

It's 10 pm qatar time. But how many games have already Been played at 7 and it suits europe and the Americas especially more

 

Credit to Morocco for an incredible run to the semifinal They are the story of the 2022 World Cup

 

Unlucky Morocco, gave as good account of themselves as any team in the entire competition. They had France worried tonight.

Have to say I've never been a huge fan of Greizmann always thought he was slightly overrated, but **** me he's been superb in Frances games, I'd go as far as saying player of the tournie? Or at least up there, seems to be playing as a fully fledged midfielder these days? and looks superb there.

 

Messi for me

 

A fan of attacking players converting into midfielders as they age.

Firmino as an 8 please.

 

Yeah admittedly its hard to look past Messi, but Griezmann is deffo in the team of the tournie.

 

It's for the asians like me who don't have to stay up until 5am

 

Boufal deserves a step up from Ligue 1 basement dwellers Angers. (especially as 4 get relegated this year as they reduce to 18 next season.)

 

Team of the tournament so far;

Bono
Hakimi - Otamendi - Gvardiol - T. Hernandez
S. Amrabat
Modric - Griezmann
Messi - Giroud/Alvarez - Mbappe​

 

I wanted France to win. Glad they did. Makes for a better final.

Ounahi needs a mention. He has been really good.

 

Plenty of others will do, Bellingham as well in midfield, but those three are pretty hard to argue against.

 

English fans are the worst etc.

Seriously though, I don't know how he can blame the Morocco fans on such a small amount of information.

Looks about right to me. Bellingham would be in there if we'd beaten France but those three definitely deserve to be in.

Both the Morocco and Croatia goalkeepers were brilliant.

 

this is why i laugh at england fans who say "well look we atleast matched france!"... well so did Morocco, and like England neither looked like they were gonna win

England played well when it was 1-0 to france and they were just happy to sit back, after 1-1 france instantly took control and had 2 clear chances before scoring... a great manager would have made changes at 1-1 to win the game but Gareth was too busy being happy to not be losing

 

There's one reason
