Likelihood is I'll end up in the same boat as Eddie and Gonzo with their Brazil predictions. Edit: And my Canada / USA predictions. Are you going for an exact score? Bookies don't seem to be offering particularly good odds on Morocco winning and there's a lot of speculation about it being an AET result. I'd be interested to see what you can get as it looks like we're not alone in thinking this could be close. Quote

If he does it on the run-up to the penalty spot, as long as the ball moves it’s whole circumference (or is it diameter?) it’ll be deemed to have been taken won’t it? This situation would lead to even further mirth and merriment around the globe. Quote

Stuck a tenner on anyway and put a tenner on the Swiss to win 1-0. Tend to bet with my heart, which is why I rarely do it 😁 Edited December 6, 2022 by London Wanderer Quote

globaldiver Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Good game, Morocco definitely in it Quote
Wanderlust Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Loving Amrabat's performance - excellent DM. Quote
Wanderlust Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Extra time. The more tired the players get, the more it will suit Spain's economical passing game I reckon - bit we live in hope Quote

Will be interesting to see whether that repetition is good preparation for a penalty in a World Cup knock out game - I hope not 😂 Hopefully Morocco bag one so we don’t see. Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 The African nations excel in penalty shootouts in their nations cup. Seen a few go to 10 apiece and think think one went to 20 before someone missed. Not sure if Morocco were involved though. So Spain to win on pens Quote
Wanderlust Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Amrabat has been incredible but Cheddira is wank - could have scored 3. Or at least taken a shot. Quote
Wanderlust Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Pens it is. Time for Bono to make it a beautiful day. Quote

MickyD Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Wife is getting giddy. She got Morocco in her work’s sweepstake. Must admit, they’ve been better than I thought. Quote
