This trend of walking run ups is ridiculous. The success rate must be so low, why do the players even try it?
It felt like a shock would happen eventually in the knockouts. Pleased for Morocco whose fans have been great. Disappointed for Morata and slightly concerned that if England beat France they are going to the final.
What's with the penalties this WC? Even in non-penalty shootouts only Ronaldo took a real penalty and smashed it. Everyone else literally walks to the ball, you can see in the run up they're missing
Morocco finished where it counted... just not in open play. They did the higher-probability/greater-failure-blowback thing of shooting more down the middle. Well done. Well deserved.
Congrats, Morocco! The break to the Europe/South America hegemony is still alive!
And Spain for thinking they'd get a pass from Morocco if they lost matchday 3
