Magic Messi turned on the dribbling with that third assist goal .

You gotta respect the Croats, a population of only 4 million and they put out great soccer players. they beat great brazil and they went to the finals 4 years ago.
Their prime minister was there. Me like.

LOL its posted all over the internet.


But like I wrote before they were developed in Europe. And on Morocco's team only 2 players were born in Morocco. All other are from and where developed in france, belgium or spain.

That's why each victory of Morocco draw huge festivities in Brussels, Paris and Barcelona ;)

France will play without Upamecano(unfit) and Rabiot(sick?). Morocco is switching to a back 5 🙈 and Saiss is fit to play. They are also getting Aguerd and Mazraoui back. It looks like this should be a low scoring match.

I stand correct.

Notice how France scored the goal. Giroud didn't touch the ball, he held up the center of defense which allowed Theo to collect on Mbappe's deflected shot. That's how you break down a grim defense. Portugal would be playing France had they been able to execute it. Unfortunately Goncalo failed at it and holding up defenses is the weakness in CR7's game. Giroud is one of the best at it, Rafael Leao owns a number of his scoring opportunities to the Frenchman.

That 1986 pic is inaccurate, Alain Giresse wasn't the only black player for the Frenchies. The legendary Marius Tresor wasn't a Swede.

Although Theo Hernandez's goal was a beauty, for me Greizman (the blond guy) was MVP. He was back and forth all the time, stole the ball from the Moroccans, a true workhorse. The Moroccans were great, they never gave up.

Griezman is better as a trequartista than he is a forward. I thought Eduardo Camavinga would play that position. he played it well for Real Madrid.

Didier Deschamps has always been a winner, he was the captain of the last Juventus club to win the Champions Cup in 1996. Gianluca Vialli and Antonio Conte were also part of that club.
