Wullie Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Morocco winning would be one of those, like 2004, that is simultaneously incredible and absolutely shite. Nobody looks back fondly on Greece defending their way to the title. They've done brilliantly, now let's have them out please and Messi winning it. I know the rest of the Argies are mainly cunts but at least they deserved to win their QF unlike the fucking French. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not conceded a goal yet and they've had 6 corners in 5 games. I'd say they're very much like Greece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I'm not getting Greece vibes from watching Morocco. They defend really well but also attack in numbers when the opportunity is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Feel that's about as shit a semi-final line up as there's been, just personally. Far better Croatia and Argentina teams than this have gone out in the group stages. Morocco nice story but howay and this French team isn't a patch on their last World cup winning team.

The impact of Morocco winning it would be significantly higher than Greece winning the Euros. It doesn't matter what the tactics are. Greece winning the Euros was a great footballing sporting moment. Morocco winning the world cup will transcend sports in terms of impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're also a workmanlike and not particularly good team. I've watched every game and I can still only tell you the names of about half the XI, if that. Ideally you want the World Champions to be a good team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue that’s a pretty entitled “this team doesn’t deserve to win it” kind of view. Very much in the vein of Liverpool fans thinking in the Prem. That they have some divine right to be at the top/champions. A new team winning it, from a continent that has never won it? That’s magic, man. Insane, wild, generational defining magic. Everyone will know their starting XIs name after this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, if they win their 2 games they'll fully deserve to be crowned champions, I just personally hope they don't as I don't think they're much cop. Same goes for Croatia fwiw.

toon25 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Wonder if the pundits saying that this is the best world cup to date will be saying the same if it's a Croatia-Morocco final. Croatia are a dreadful watch, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Croatia with a population similar to Wales and making 3 Semi Finals in the 7 World Cup appearances they've been a part of since they've been eligible is absolutely class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Greece had no intent to counter and won through set pieces only. They were a far, far more prosaic side. Not to blame them - it reflected the limitations of the squad and it was an amazing coaching achievement. Morocco are low block but they do have genuine pace and technical ability on the counter. In the games they have played they have created clear chances this way. Greece winning the Euros was a localised event and a one off. I do think Morocco winning, even in an overtly defensive style, would be a huge global glass ceiling moment which would inspire great expectations in weaker continents.

gbandit Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Morocco are a really enjoyable side to watch in my opinion, they don’t dominate the ball but when they have it, they move it really quickly and have some lovely players to watch on the break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think as Newcastle fans we are all duty bound to get behind one of our greatest ever players, and hope that his country can do him justice and honor his legacy in Achraf Lazaar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 For me an Argentina - Morocco final would be perfect. Either get a defining end to Messi's career or an amazing upset which would be huge for global football. Plus the stadium would be rammed with colour as Argentina/Morocco have also had the best fans in the tournament for me. Croatia - France would be a rather uninspiring rematch IMO that would also have a poorer atmosphere because both teams have had very low numbers of travelling fans. But at the very least I'm just relieved that pillock Ronaldo is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
