The Official World Cup Thread

I thought Morocco in defense were just fantastic...they all worked their absolute bollox off...it will take an amazing side to beat them..

Massive, massive game for England coming up. You’d have to think that the winner will go to the final. You never know with this World Cup though!

Just as well Enrique made Spain practice a 1,00O pens each

Plus, don’t tell me that the Moroccan guy who did the Panenka pen had always planned to do that

Almost what’s the point of practicing pens, you just can’t replicate that pressure in real shoot out game time

 

[BrynCartwright]

Of course the real reason why Morocco are so good now is because this pair have been there since the mid 90s teaching them the Swansea way........

It's incredible, isn't it? You can practice all you like, but the pressure on the night is something else. You need massive cojones.

Indeed you do, but were they so tired after 120 minutes that they couldn't kick a ball 12 yards harder than that? Professional footballers?

Morocco was always The team to beat - as predicted.

The North African spirit, guile, nous, streetfighter culture, chip on the shoulder. Most esp against their European bourgeoisie near neighbours. No contest - esp OFF and and on the pitch.

Portugal Flying 2 great goals, cracking first goal 21yr old Ramos and a cracking header by 39yr old Pepe for 2nd.

Teams seem to play much better without Ronaldo.

 

[K23]

The Swiss probably spent most of the last few days working on how they would contain Ronaldo then unexpectedly find they need a plan B and they haven't worked it out yet.

Kin ell, never expected this

 

[Pegojack]

Goodnight Switzerland.
I hope all the St Gallen thugs who attacked the Swans fans minding their own business in a bar post our Europa Cup match there are watching this.

 

[K23]

The comeback is on!

 

[Pegojack]

The comeback is on!
