Actually he was asking for VAR so that he could be on everyone's tv screens a bit longer

Maybe he wasn't sure he acted well enough.

Fuck off Pepe

[Stan]

the 2 sides of Pepe there.

The great defensive side of it getting a very important block to deny Morocco an equaliser.

Then the petulant, petty, diving, fake injury side he's also well known for. Frustrates me!

Morocco pulling a Peru here. Dominated the match but can´t finish their chances.

I thought that was called "a Dortmund".

Are we the Peru of footbal clubs?

Yep, very worried that could happen to us tomorrow.

Morocco was the better team today, all they needed were 1-2 players with some decent finishing skills. Shame.

Morocco is the first team eliminated in the World Cup. 

Interesting stat, Morocco had 28 shots and no goals in 2 matches.

If Spain beats them and they don´t score a goal, that´s probably the best team to be eliminated with 0 points and goals.

I'd say the fact you dont score in that many efforts is a pretty damning stat, finishing is a key part of the game.

Terrible 2nd half but much needed 3 points.

Santos needs to have a hard look at that midfield.

the fack ... when i googled world cup result .......... it showed 0-0 FULL TIME.         and now it's 1-0 .. and the goal is at the 4th minute.   crazy google.

Good win for Portugal, although not the most convincing.

They stick with Jamie Lannister as their coach, can see them coming back in 2022. 

They really are lacking quality strikers from being a top side.

4 shots on target in 90 minutes against ours 2 is poor considering their 2nd half dominance. It's very bad really.

[Beelzebub]

Iranian's going crazy that they can beat Portugal.

Hope Spain at least scores three goals against them. Despite having some talent they play cowardly football at this stage which i hate about them.

Good point. You´re right.

A look at the position of their shots in those two matches. 13 shots inside the area, no goals. This is awful. 

 

[Stan]

I'd have serious mixed feelings there if I was a Morocco fan. Portugal were there for the taking, chances were created, played the better football, could have won the game if finishing was better. But ultimately it's not good enough and they're knocked out

Technically, if Iran beat Spain and Portugal beat Iran then Spain are out? Tasty.
