The trouble is if we don't make the cut these players linger and hinder regeneration. I think Irvine can still play a squad role but he's then still preventing Yazbek or Balard from gaining a foothold.

 

[JS96]

Ah I've been posting in the wrong thread for a bit.

Morocco Canada underway. I'm honestly surprised as the lack of Canadian travelling support.

 

[HappyGuus]

It's bizarre seeing a host nation not hosting

Canada and Morocco scoreless at the half.

 

[JS96]

Oh ffs Morocco score off a free kick side pass.

Notice how Australia was caught out a few times in the tournament too? Too concerned with the cross to notice the danger on the edge of the box.

Azzedine Ounahi scores in the 50th minute for Morocco to give them a 1-0 lead. Achraf Hakimi with the assist.

Azzedine Ounahi scores again in the 82nd minute for Morocco to get his brace and extend their lead to 2-0. Brahim Diaz with the assist.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Soufiane Rahimi scores in the eighth minute of second half stoppage time for Morocco to extend their lead further and make the score 3-0. Brahim Diaz with the assist to add to his existing one today.

Morocco got the job done 3-0 over Canada to get the World Cup round of 16 underway and become the first team to advance to the quarterfinals, where they'll face either France or Paraguay.

 

[JS96]

Paraguay using the same slow tactics against France. France look sharp but haven't found a brace yet.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

France and Paraguay scoreless going into the half.

 

[JS96]

As soon as France got the penalty Paraguay players started damaging the penalty spot. Many others crowded the area and delayed. There should be rules than these behaviours are immediate yellows. 6 players would've been booked.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Kylian Mbappe converts a penalty in the 70th minute for France to give them a 1-0 lead.

Paraguay is a very unlikable team.

 

[SocceroosFan84]

Brilliant to hear Brenton Speed and Socceroos legend Paul Wade calling the game on SEN.

 

[jas88]

I don't like Mbappe yelling out Vamos to the crowd and paraguay.

We get it dude you too shit to win with RM.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

France ran out 1-0 winners over Paraguay in their World Cup round of 16 game to advance to the quarterfinals, where they'll face Morocco.

 

[LFC]

I don't like Mbappe yelling out Vamos to the crowd and paraguay.

We get it dude you too shit to win with RM.

Too shit ? Come on bit far there mate.
Brilliant player but an arrogant twat.
he deserves the accolades but also the attention by opposing players.

Paraguay used the dark arts trying to unsettle the French and Mbappe in particular and they did frustrate them .

Something Australians need to learn quickly. Going to Europe/Asia is all fun and games until you are sent packing back home, going to South or Central America or even CAF, will open eyes to the dark arts yet also what grinding poverty looks like and how to pick up your act to ensure you don't end up there.
