Now I route for Morocco, and they actually have a good team.

Incredible performance by Hakimi, Saiss and Amrabat, rest of the team of course played excellent as well.

Bono was great today!

Amrabat has been one of the best players in the whole tournament, absolutely heroic performance from him. That man has an iron heart and lungs. Hopefully Morocco can be the first African team in the semi final, if any team deserve it then it’s them. Who would have thought that after playing Spain, Belgium, Croatia and Canada that they’re unbeaten and only Canada could score against them.

I can't comprehend how Spain has reached 3 European semifinals in the last 2 years with that sterile style.

Is Portugal all fired-up because they won't be facing Spain?

Really impressive performance by Portugal. I haven't seen them play such good football in over a decade. I really don't think Ronaldo should be starting from now on, they looked much more dynamic without him and they play with more freedom in attack.

Croatian mentality was crazy today, they really fought till the end. Liva was astonishing, and they owned us during the PK shootout. Our defenders and DMFs bottled it, while Croatia did not give up.

Clear handball in front of the referee - no yellow card because it's Messi
It's incredible how FIFA favors him and CR7 at this tournament, nobody else gets such weird decisions (just look at Romero who got booked for the same thing in first half). Hopefully either Croatia beats them with their mentality or France wipes the floor with them in the final..

I wouldn't be surprised if the final ends up being Argentina vs Portugal. Imagine the sensational titles on media and newspapers...

No, it will be France vs Argentina. And then it's the 90th minute, penalty for Argentina - Messi steps up, converts it - final result: 1:6 (Messi - 3x Mbappé, Giroud, Griezmann, Dembelé).
And speaking of referee: Paredes butchers Aké down and deliberately fires the ball into the stands - that should have been a double yellow but not on this side of the pitch..

Oops, our comments had a good effect. Let's see how it goes in the extra time.

Messi and CR7 have privileges, thats a fact.

And Netherlands won the trophy of the most boring team of the World Cup.

Well, they didn't learn from 2014 and again send a CB (who isn't even some sort of reliable PK taker) first to the spot instead of Weghorst or de Jong. Incredible how Messi celebrates himself for that performance, physically he looks like Diego in his Boca days. Paredes can thank the ref for keeping him on the pitch and in the tournament, incredible mistake.
