Ozzy0zz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Morocco have more than held their own here and are probably the better side so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted November 23, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2022 Pretty sure I just heard We Will Rock You on in the background at half-time in the stadium. Maybe the stadium DJ doesn't realise who the lead singer of Queen was and what he stood for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 That was a pretty even 1st half. This will be the last World Cup for the likes of Modric and Perisic, so it will be interesting to see how well Croatia do at this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy0zz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I guess a draw it is. Another goalless draw.. which is ok for both sides, but will not be ok in just two more games. World Cup is win now football. Croatia might be going home early it seems. Getting points off the former world cup finalist is always a win.

klosefan2 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Game was interesting, but expected more from Croatia to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Caught the last 20 mins, Morrocco looked well organised. Croatia seemed off the pace though think they generally start slowly and improve. The question for them is whether their older players can still deliver.

This is just it, Modric unfortunately is not the player he was, he's still got the talent, but no longer has the same energy levels. Perisic seems to never age to be fair and can always be a threat. But overall, I'd be surprised if this Croatian team reached the quarter finals if I am honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I definitely don't think they are as good as the Croatia team that reached the final of the 2018 World Cup. But they really should have scored with Vlasic's chance today. Morocco were well organised and are tough opposition, but you'd still expect the bigger teams to get a win against them, even if it is a narrow one.

Administrator Stan Posted November 23, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2022 I've underestimated Morocco. I didn't realise they had so many players in the top European leagues. They've got a good chance of 2nd, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morocco and Algeria at different times always seem to have decent squads that they can pick up from France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
