Absolutely delighted to see Morocco beat Spain. I actually quite like Spain (although they've been poor other than the Costa Rica game), but it's brilliant to see a new face in the quarter finals. I think they have a realistic chance of being the first African team to ever make the semis too! Looking back I'm surprised at how much pre-tournament hype there was around them. They definitely have a decent squad and have done very well with it. Instead all the talk for that group was about Canada. Saw some people claiming they had one of the top 10 squads on the planet. I guess Canadian fans are just the new English fans, ie. arrogantly overrating their pretty average team. Kind of funny that English fans are actually (slightly) less arrogant now that their team is better.
Also, I'm watching on Abema and I've got to say their penalty highlights suck! Just show every penalty! They showed 3 Spanish penalties in a row, I know they're just showing the misses because they're important, but it'd be nice to see that Morocco are actually in the penalty shootout too.
Portugal are definitely better without Ronaldo than with him. Seems like that's true for most teams now. He's only worth it for his marketability these days. Really didn't expect a 6-1 thrashing though. Switzerland are a notoriously hard team to beat and while I did expect Portugal to win I expected there to only be 1 goal in it, a tight 1-0 or something.
Portugal vs Spain in the quarters would've been more interesting than Portugal vs Morocco, but it should still be a good match to watch. Oh, and a Morocco win would trump any possible result that Portugal vs Spain could've produced too. So come on Morocco!
