Non-soccer fans will be scratching their heads. They would pick the 4-3 game. I’m with you. What an amazing chess match.
Game 2 underway, Netherlands vs Argentina
Dutch goalkeeper is a giant.
Messi is ridiculous. What a pass for Argentina’s first goal.
Messi…magic.
That pass from Messi… he’s still a cheat code
Some on the Dutch bench, talking pottie-mouth about the referees mama.

Apparently, he loves his mama.
Dutch starting to use their height advantage
you wonder how a 6'6 guy is allowed to roam in front of the goalie
What a match!
2 insane comebacks in 1 day. ( awesomeness )I hope everyone got to watch both!
Morocco is the most organized team in this tournament. Kills the old stereotype about African teams. But Portugal have serious fire power on that field. Great game.
Serious hops by that Morocco forward on the goal. Holy shit!
Morocco also has a lot of talent...Ziyech, Hakimi....just enough skill and great coaching...what a concept!
Also, Morocco isn't your typical AFCON squad...most of these players grew up in France, and played in the youth system there.
Morocco!
Defense wins championships, just sayin’….

Same is true for a bunch of African teams, especially North African and West Francophone West African teams. This is big time! Out goes Portugal. Bye Felicia, err Ronaldo.

Fair...Ivory Coast, Algeria, Tunisia to a lesser degree. But not so much Nigeria, Cameroon, etc. Ghana?
If England beats France the fix for Morocco is in to make it to the final. But that said, Morocco is going to give either France or England some fits with their discipline. Should be fun.
Maybe they're trying to fix it so England wins.
Fuck England! Tossers laughing their asses off Ronaldo gets eliminated...not that I am a huge Ronaldo fan, but Portugal got where they did mostly without CR7. That's a really good squad...they would have schooled the Three Pussies.

Yup, Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon not Francophone countries. Well, Cameroon is a bit. Half French half English speaking. The African Canada?😊
Media already making excuses for Hairy Maguire and the match hasn't even started yet

He had been shockingly good in this tournament. Apparently, WC managers don’t realize he is slow.
My only issue with France winning is it means Giroud wins. Fuck I hate him.
I have no reason to believe this won’t be another soul-crushing loss for the Three Lions.
If not for Mother Africa, France would have shit soccer players.
England is a more skilled USMNT.
Southgate is gone when they lose.

Me too, but he played for Chelsea and Arsenal. Why do you hate him?
