The Moroccan coach just said he wants to face France because it's his second country...it would be an amazing match but I'm cheering for England tonite.
 
Ronaldo really did Piers Morgan interview thinking he would have decent World Cup showing and teams would be at the door waiting to sign him after. The opposite happened.

The way these sports casters are speaking about how he's pretty much done for high level play is surreal. He's well past high play, and he's not signing at a top flight club after this tournament…

Does me being in Canada let me root for both 🤔
As a fellow Canadian, I will allow it. I am half italian so I don't have it in me to root for France. And England have suffered long enough. Let them have one. I'm mostly just rooting for the underdogs. Don't care either way.
Is that supposed to be Pirlo? Lol
The true GOAT. Yes. There was a world cup thread I think like a decade ago on the other forum and there were a few cartoonish avatars thrown around there and I haven't changed it since.

I have no rooting interest in England vs. France. Will be happy with either of them moving on for different reasons.

An exciting afternoon ahead!

I'm Portuguese and the referee had no influence in the result. I agree he could have given an extra minute because the expulsion wasted time but that really wouldn't influence the game since we're just kicking ball into the air.

Once again congrats to Morocco; defense wins World Cups and they've been the best at it.

Also I'm pretty sure Pepe said he would retire after this World Cup. See ya!

Idk how much y'all know about soccer but Ronaldo just shot himself in the foot.

That Piers Morgan interview was an extremely bad look and with this super mid WC performance he's done on top teams. No one wants a player that bad mouths teams and has become a diva. He's not at his prime anymore where he can get away with it, and any mid table and up team in the three big league will definitely not sign him after this World Cup.

His only redemption is signing with the San Jose Earthquakes. So I can sell my tickets.

Was expecting the Final Fantasy 13 copypasta. As in the full one.

Tactically I actually think England would be better suited to playing against Morocco than France

We are fuck awful and have always been fuck awful against teams who defend hard and hit on the counter.

Morocco are exactly the kind of team we would struggle to break down and lose on penalties due to both pressure and Bono.

There's no way some of you want to watch more Croatian football. Stop playing.

I really enjoy the way Croatia plays. They have the best midfield at this WC the way they build up and pass there is amazing at times. The issue is they have no proper striker and often all that build up ends in nothing.

France vs England is so rare, I feel we (France) meet all the other big European nations much more often
