Very entertaining and exciting quarter-finals, first 90mins of Brazil - Croatia excluded.
Happy for Croatia. A small nation with such footballing talent and fighting spirit, impressive. Brazil had a good team but their arrogance backfired big time. Maybe practise penalties next time instead of dumb celebrations and dancing?
I'm gutted Netherlands lost. Especially after an epic comeback, but Argentina was the better team and played better football.
I'm still not a fan of the style of football Morocco is playing, but their mentality is winning me over. It's like watching a war movie, man after man they go down but keep on going. Unfortunately I think their injuries will cost them against France. But they had control over Portugal even before scoring and were good going forwards, not just parking the bus.
England.. well they simply won't ever win a big game with that Spuds donkey upfront. If only he'd actually stay upfont instead of pretending to be a creative playmaker England wouldn't look like their system is handicapped. Southgate's tactics are too cowardly too imo, they have enough quality to beat France.
I've never liked the football France is playing. Yes it's efficient but I'd like to see a team of this quality to control the ball and play more attractive football. France - Morocco is an interesting one though with both teams being immune to ball possession :P
