Morocco v France would be a tasty SF.

Xiaolongbao · December 10, 2022, 5:10pm

no cancelo / leao starting?

Jalfrezi · December 10, 2022, 5:10pm

Nope.

Aofrantic · December 10, 2022, 5:11pm

These Croatian/Morocco teams obviously aren’t bad but I am slightly annoyed the more defensive teams have rode their luck to this point.

Had $ on Morocco to beat Spain, didn’t bet this game.

Aofrantic · December 10, 2022, 5:12pm

Canada could have had 2 or 3, Portugal could have 2 or 3.

Just ride your luck and who knows.

Jalfrezi · December 10, 2022, 5:14pm

Had a little fun bet against Portugal at 1.66 - stupid price.

These are all home games for Morocco.

Superleeds · December 10, 2022, 5:15pm

I had Portugal in a sweepstakes and would have made money with a semi final finish sh but I’m so glad they lost. Fuck you ronaldo and fuck you Hernandez

Aofrantic · December 10, 2022, 5:15pm

Yeah I might have backed them double chance today but didn’t even wake up for kickoff, was so tired from the games then working and playing poker yesterday.

The last game really had people forgetting this Por team often has trouble creating and scoring despite the talent.

Xiaolongbao · December 10, 2022, 5:21pm

was there a reason given?

anon59375068 · December 10, 2022, 5:26pm

yeah upon reflection I’m gonna root for France because it’s got to be the matchup Morocco wants, right?

Aofrantic · December 10, 2022, 5:29pm

Not going to bench Ramos off a hat trick and then who are you benching of Felix/Fernandes?

Xiaolongbao · December 10, 2022, 5:34pm

Looking through past matches, I guess neither has really been starting this World Cup. I’d drop any of them for him.

Xiaolongbao · December 10, 2022, 5:35pm

VVD thinking he can just get it past any keeper who knows where he is going seems like a leak. He has to be perfect every time.

Aofrantic · December 10, 2022, 5:39pm

Leao has a ton of promise and talent but Bruno is the first name on the team sheet and Felix is maybe their most talented player.

Jalfrezi · December 10, 2022, 5:48pm

Definitely. Shame it can’t be Algeria v France.

Melkerson · December 10, 2022, 5:52pm

US vs all of Africa? Hope the US side got odds.

anon59375068 · December 10, 2022, 5:53pm

Has a former colony ever beaten its colonizer in the World Cup before this World Cup? Would be bananas if Morocco manages to beat BOTH its colonizers in this one.

Melkerson · December 10, 2022, 5:56pm

Kind of depends on how you define colonizer? Did the English kind of colonize Wales?

mosdef · December 10, 2022, 5:57pm

It was a bet in the 1990s that US investment in soccer would eventually propel them to world powerhouse status. The US has made a lot of improvement over that time.

Melkerson · December 10, 2022, 5:59pm

First one I thought of was Brazil/Portugal.

Brazil hasn’t beaten Portugal in the WC. They’re 0-1-1

However, without checking, I’m sure one of the other SA teams has beaten Spain. I’m pretty sure I remember Chile doing it.
