Both games should be interesting  
Gman11 : 12/6/2022 7:16 am : link
Would like to see Switzerland send Ronaldo packing. I used to be a fan of Ronaldo, but he seems to be a major dick.
Would like a crack at the Swiss  
Sec 103 : 12/6/2022 7:54 am : link
to avenge the 2010 loss, IF Spain can make it through...
Portugal v Spain would also be interesting....
I think the underdogs  
JoeyBigBlue : 12/6/2022 8:23 am : link
Are a heavy play today. I believe Spain is a young team that is a tournament away from really competing. Morocco has been very good this tournament and can definitely pull off the upset. The Swiss team is very organized and solid defensively. They can win the game against a Portugal team that is being held down by Ronaldo. Also this might be the last game Ronaldo plays in a Portugal shirt. He’s been a great player, but his time as an elite player is done.

How so? Are you referring to that exchange with the Japanese player while he was being substituted off the field?

Good points about the underdogs. This will be like a home game for Morocco with all of the support they'll be getting as the last Arab team left. Switzerland has seen a lot of Portugal recently and know them well. Gonna be really fun watching these sides square off. Doubt we'll see any blowouts today.
Really hoping Portugal and Spain win  
DaddyM89 : 12/6/2022 9:41 am : link
I land in Lisbon saturday morning. There would be a massive Portugal Spain WC quarterfinal a few hours later if chalk holds up.

Portugal, without left back Nuno Mendez, will have their hands full dealing with Shaqiri on the flank.

Yep. This is basically a Morocco home game today too.
Morocco would have a chance  
bluefin : 12/6/2022 10:16 am : link
If Espana didn’t hold the ball for 99.999% of the game.
Morocco living dangerously

Ignoring another Portuguese speaking entrant?
Can't believe the Spanish keeper took that risk with two Moroccan  
Optimus-NY : 12/6/2022 11:14 am : link
attackers in his face pressuring him so closely to his goal a few minutes ago.
Morocco is the real  
section125 : 12/6/2022 11:56 am : link
deal, eh?
Morocco has parked the bus for 90  
Sec 103 : 12/6/2022 11:57 am : link
and pin can't get that final touch.... Morata missed a clear header
Spain would have wrapped this up already  
giantBCP : 12/6/2022 12:08 pm : link
if Morata had started.
was thinking exactly that

what LD said re USMNT not tracking runners into the 18

Ian Darke is such a treasure to listen to; no one knows and has such knowledge of European football on the tip of his tongue and delivers it so succinctly, sometimes poetically
Penalties, here we go

Go Morocco!
I'm on pins and needles on this match

P/Ks  
section125 : 12/6/2022 12:37 pm : link
Morocco was tremendously disciplined in the defensive shell and quick counters.
The penalty lottery

SUCKS
Holy crap  
section125 : 12/6/2022 12:44 pm : link

MOR keeper doing great job on initial fake
Wow, they  
section125 : 12/6/2022 12:47 pm : link

I wish it had gone to the full five PK attempts because the keeper was hot, and Spain looked like they were trying to kick the ball into a mailbox.

They could have gone 0 for 5...
Lovely result for Morroco

975 completed passed with only 2 shots on target for Spain.

Just got word from my cuz in Spain that Luis Enrique will leave his post as the teams coach. Marcelino is most likely next in line.
