Amrabat looks a player.

Morocco look solid but their flighty wingers won’t get them anywhere.
Hakimi hit that with some venom, shame it was right at Livakovic.
John Hartson has somehow managed to be more dire than the game.
I still think there's something up with the ball. It's not as bad as the Jabulani, but there are so many misplaced and particularly overhit kicks of the ball. The ball or the stadium air conditioning.
Also a lot of players treading on each other's feet. Can't think of an explanation for that one.
Yep, I noticed this too. Tangling legs in general. I think play has generally been slow and there’s little in the way of skilful attacking players who are able to escape close attention, so the play constantly gets gummed up in midfield or out wide.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
The other, weirdest trend of all that I have noticed (related to the treading on each other's feet thing) is players having fouls correctly given against them, protesting vehemently with proper passion that they got the ball (making the ball signal), and then replays clearly showing that they were nowhere near the ball. You don't normally see this in club football. Is it just a language thing with the international refs, or are players somehow deluding themselves into thinking they have got the ball? And if so, why?

Germany’s football federation has said it plans legal steps against Fifa over its banning of OneLove rainbow armbands at the World Cup as it faced the humiliating decision by one of the country’s largest supermarket chains to cut its commercial ties over the row.
The DFB refused to let players in Qatar wear the armbands promoting diversity and inclusion after threats from the world football governing body to issue yellow cards to team captains, but faced a swift reaction, including from the supermarket chain REWE, which became the first sponsor to take direct action as it said it would drop its advertising campaign in protest at the decision.
This should be a good game, Japan don't do tight negative shitfests and Musiala is a don.
For fuck sake.
Why would you do this to us?
No booking for Neuer for wearing the armband although it is slightly hidden:
The atmosphere in this game is horrendous.
What on earth is that whale whistling noise
Is the picture quite dark or is it my stream?
I see the German gestures have got the third world seethebots out in force again. Latest strain of thinking seems to be that the West is also repressive because polygamy is not allowed.
What is the keeper doing?
Should have been booked for the foul and then given a second yellow for the finger wagging. These guys live in such a strange reality.
Lame penalty decision.
Minamino on the bench is a sin.
I wonder if we'll all be looking back on such shit differently in 50 years time when we're all sucking eachother off in our gender fluid orgies because currently, it really does look laughable.
The beatboxing world champions in action.
That German uniform is hideous.
Linesmen checking captain's armbands to make sure it doesn't have anything promoting general inclusion. Pretty sure it runs against everything in the FIFA rulebook.
Can we just ban Taz for the rest of the tournament?
It's very tiresome.
No please don't. I'm making bank off backing the opposite of his tips.
That would have been a brilliant goal.
I’m very thankful Musiala is playing for Germany and not England. Absolutely ridiculous player already.
I agree it's not great. The Germany home shirt is quite a difficult one to mess up too, but they've given it their best shot there.
Let's go Japan.
Mitoma's shifted the momentum, MON.
What a save from Neuer.
Teams never change. Japan still can't score.
TTH curse strikes again
Lovely.
Did it on purpose.TTH curse strikes again
Japan.
Mitoma
Just made £1.2k on Japan next goal. Ben, give me your paypal lad, I'll send a donation so you can feed the family.

Some nice Mendying from the keeper.
Ze Germans losing points here would set the group up nicely.
Gotze back in the national side? Holy shit.
Really is impressive at this point.
Remember when all teams had one meteoric superstar?
Hristo Stoichkov, mate. Daniel Amokachi...
Oh shit. That's quality.
What the sweet fuck?
I'm under more fire than a western backed Ukranian shithole currently and let me tell you, the missiles are embarrasing.
£100 on Japan at 9. RL, give me your details mate, let's get you a KitKat.
