France v Morocco is a damn good quarterfinal.

Don’t forget the clear dive that ended up getting Olise a yellow even though he didn’t touch him.

They only scored on a PK. They never really threatened either.





That is a blueprint. Squeeze the windows and make them have to create.

That’s why I prefer the minnows to go out. Want to see teams go head to head and showcase their talent and tactics without the Varsenal style of bunkering, diving, and hoping for set pieces.

Germany vs France would've been a better match

I think I have to lean towards Morocco being favored.

France was frustrated because Paraguay pulled out every dirty trick there is, not because they didn’t score.

Senegal played the same strategy, minus the frickery, and got housed.

ETA: The only reason France didn’t net 1 or 2 more is Paraguay continued to sit deep even after they went down.

You sure about that?

My dude, France will be favored in every remaining game they play in. Not saying they'll win the whole thing, but they will be favored and rightly so. Today does nothing to change that.

No more than a Hail Mary / lateral play on the last play of a game when trailing

That is not a blueprint. It is simply the only thing that makes sense to do to give you a chance to win

Stating facts about Paraguay playing shitball 3rd world tactics aren’t excuses.

France didn’t need to score again because Paraguay wouldn’t even leave their own half after going down 1-0.

Why is focusing on playing defense not a viable strategy to you people?




Remember the old saying: Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
