What a smart goal!

Good goal

 

[Roll Fizzlebeef]

ah fuck...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Terrible trip by Canadian defender. WTF. Just stay with him man to man. Went after a wild sliding tackle leading to a goal.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

FFS Canada.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Weak ref

 

[Sabejita]

How is time of possession calculated?

Canada seems to have the ball more, yet ESPN stats says Morocco has a 60% time possession.

For example, let's say the ball goes out of bounds. It takes time for the other team player to get the ball and throw it in. When does time of possession start for the team throwing it in? When the ball deflects out of bounds or when he actually throws it in? This can apply to free kicks and corner kicks.

It depends, there are many ways, easiest one is counting number of passes and dividing by total.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Fouls, trips, and players falling like crazy.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Of course the shite ref is always the English. Michael Oliver fuckery continues..

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

yellow for that?

 

[Ipsi]

 

[Agave]

Pfft- whatever

[Paasei]

Yeah. Shits going down.

Prepared to be absolutely shitting myself for another 90 minutes+

Just show up is all I ask, if we go down fighting then so be it.

You got this

 

[near]

This game has been boring. Sloppy performance from both teams.

 

[EviLore]

Flops and fouls. Poor play. What an ugly match.

 

[Hideous Snake]

FINISHHHHHHHHH

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Go home.

 

[Varteras]

Uh oh. Getting close to having no more

 

[StreetsofBeige]

2-0 Morocco. Poor defending on Shaffelburg. Chased the lead man leaving a guy open in the slot.

 

[Hugare]

Canada will beat Morocco

Canada was able to get 6-0 in one of their games, while Morocco barely won with only 1 penalty

 

[Hideous Snake]

What a header. Unlucky!

 

[The Fartist]

Uh oh. Getting close to having no more

Don't worry, I got some for you if you want.

 

[Sabejita]

Morocco 3 strikes, 2 goals. Boring but efficient.

 

[Gp1]

Morocco (2x0)

As i was saying...

Never bet on the tactical solid team when the other side has players that can decide. Especially on the knockoff rounds.
Morocco is the 6th strongest team in the world today, behind Brazil.

 

[Varteras]

Don't worry, I got some for you if you want.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Am I late?

What did I miss?

[Hideous Snake]

Shittiest game for Morocco so far in the tournament and still won 3-nil

 

[midnightAI]

Expected win, 3-0

 

[Varteras]

Canada beating Morocco? Morocco was 4rd place last time and they aren't weak. Canada is by no means the best team of the two, on the contrary.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Horrendous watch, ahahaha.

 

[poppabk]

Commentators rubbing it in - Morocco beat Canada 3-0.
"Morocco will need to play better"

 

[near]

Complete defensive collapse from Canada. The scoreline isn't really reflective of Morocco's overall performance, but a win is a win, and that's all that matters at this stage.

 

[diffusionx]

CUM… gone but not forgotten

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

It looks like Canada just falls apart when they play against a well-rounded team like Switzerland and Morocco.

They basically coasted through the group stage and Rounds 32 and immediately fell apart against the team that knew how to play a decent ball.

 

[Atrus]

Canada was one of the worst teams in the previous round and the worst in the current.

Poor ball control means they're constantly turning over to better teams and they have none of the will to win that some lower ranked countries put forward.

They'll try to chalk it up to injuries but they still have a ways to develop.

 

[Paasei]

What a game. Not positivity. But yeah, good luck in the next round Morocco.

 

[German Shocks]

damn, Cananada really got smoked.

 

[Represent.]

Round of 16 without 2 of our best players all tournament, after never earning a point ever in the history of the WC. I'll take it.

Fuck Davies for not playing in this game. No heart.

They dont shoot enough. Looking for crosses to the box. Canada has the hustle, but lack scoring touch to finish.

They break down defensively too. Sometimes too aggressive and then (as seen today) Morocco counters and they get scored on.

But still, a round 16 loss is a big accomplishment and will be celebrated here till next world cup.

Everyone knows they'll win

I will say this, the French National Anthem is always a real toe tapper.

I don't know what Paraguay is doing. Their lyrics sound like they're to a different song.
