[Beelzebub]

This match day of Spain v Morocco Portugal v Switzerland seems the most promising. Rest I think will be straight forward results.

[ASF]

Finished 2-2 in the last WC and based on what we've seen so far, has the looks to be a great game.

Spain to advance after penalties.

[Pyfish+]

It should be a good one! Morocco have impressed in the group stages and will want to prove that the win over Belgium wasn't a fluke.

[Waylander]

Spain to progress for me though will find it hard.

[Beelzebub]

Come on Morroco ! a glass ceiling has been broken with record five teams from Africa Asia going into the second round, one should reach the quarters. 

[6666]

Amrabat playing well again for Morocco. Looks like a solid DM.

[Stan]

Bit of a cagey game so far.

Mazraoui with the best chance which was a 25-yard shot comfortably saved by Unai Simon. 

[Mel81x+]

That should have been a goal. The cross sadly came a bit too fast.

[Waylander]

Morrocco having the better of the play from what I have seen, Spain struggling to break them down.

They might need Morata on to make the difference.

Like Jorginho. Not necessarily a DM but has the role of leading the transition. Always makes himself available and very good at finding space. 

[Redcanuck]

We need a Spanish goal to shut up that annoying whistling everytime Spain has the ball.

[MUFC]

Does anyone else find Spain boring as fuck to watch?

Yes. They’re basically Citeh without the ability to finish or move the ball quickly and decisively. 

[Stan]

Morocco making it very difficult for Spain to break through. 11 men behind the ball and looking to hit on the counter, but even then that's not worked. 

[Pyfish+]

Can see Morocco snatching it in the last couple of minutes here.

[OrangeKhrush]

morata must be the most overrated player ever.   

[Pyfish+]

Extra time it is

[Mel81x+]

Please be a better penalty shootout from yesterday.

Sofyan Amrabat is a brilliant player. I thought he could have gone to a better team when he left Hellas Verona for Fiorentina. This performance might attract some interest from bigger clubs.

If only Morocco had a better striker, that guy who had 2+ chances to win it has blood on his hands.

[N U F C]

Come on Morocco!

Well atleast he knows to take a penalty. 

[Mel81x+]

Morocco have a chance here.

[N U F C]

Spain miss their first!

[Machado]

It's always hilarious when players are subed in for the shoot-out and miss.
