    Morocco could definitely have had a penalty there. They're up for this.

    Tunisia always play in white, it's their home colour.

    That focus and calm he seemed to have against Spain wasn't there. Much more casually took that one. Not enough pressure to be a hero for his ego to focus.

    VAR keep bottling it. Approach favours quick decisions rather than accurate ones, which renders it pointless.

    Jim, I love how after all these years of this board, you still take it upon you as your role and mission to inform people about this and that of African Football

    Ditto red/green and Morocco. There's only so many colours in the world. It's an entertaining coincidence that they got drawn against the other red/green side though.

    Doesn't it just favour staying with the on field call unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

    That bump in the area just now was 50/50.

    I've been impressed with their willingness to hold off from interfering with situations like that. You have to wonder if it'll last.

    Ye that's my understanding. VAR only "interferes" if they think the ref's decision is blatantly wrong.

    @ItalAussie: I always had Morocco down as playing in full red but it's been ages since I last saw a match of theirs, so it was more of an assumption.

    The Swedish broadcasters have a Ref in as an expert which is quite interesting. He said that apparently, it's forbidden for the players to do the "TV-square-sign" that the refs do to designate VAR. If they do it to the ref, they should get a Yellow card, but apparently so far they are doing it all the time and no one is getting a yellow yet.

    As much as I'd like Morocco to get an equaliser, their constant whining ruins it for me.

    Arab teams all have the same problem which is hotheadedness. They will get a red card later if the scoreline is against them.

    It seems like a hell of a lot of effort for one decision every few games.

    Portugal are absolute shite and Morocco will count themselves unlucky if they get biffed out of the tournament on the back of these two games. That said, it would help if they could ever take a chance.

    Why aren't players being booked for diving? That was scandalous behaviour from C. Ronaldo, topped off with the TV gesture.

    Same way they were going to get dicked by say Croatia and France a couple of years ago? It's a Fernando Santos team, that's how they play and get results.

    It's not like they had a defensive masterclass, Morocco were just woeful in front of goal.

    Plus, I fully expect Russia to get every decision going (including Ronaldo's one goal being ruled out for no reason) and turn them over.

    I'm not trying to defend Portugal or anything. I've just seen a lot of Fernando Santos games and his "Greece 2004" style.

    Morocco didn't lack in terms of finishing in my opinion, more so in terms of a good final pass.

    @bruhnaldo: Portugal and Russia are going to meet in the 1st knockout round if one of them finishes 1st and the other 2nd.

    I reckon Portugal will make it to quarters and then go out on a shitty 1-0 were the goal was the only chance of the game.
