[Football] World Cup - Day Twenty One... Time for the boys to do us proud.

[herecomesaregular]

Not at all - just don’t understand why you think this is boring but then you could just switch channels and watch something else

Edit - Good shots on goal and now a red card in the space of a few minutes, 3 mins into injury time before Morocco become the first African nation to reach the SF of a WC. Where are you?

Making cous cous! It's great for Morocco, pleased for them as I've been there 3 times. But still don't like the football or the whistling. So sorry!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Might be a few fools who think that. Like Croatia, Belgium, Spain and Portugal thought that.

Not a lot to them tho eh, Morocco are like one of those really really dreary EPL teams that are annoyingly hard to beat

 

[Swansman]

Morocco are defensively great blah blah blah but it is so boring to watch. Then Portugal have that scrout Fernandes and a bunch of other cheats.

IF we were to beat France then I suppose Morocco are the better opponent but the whistling, man, the whistling. Tres annoying and unsporting. Morocco out please.

Funny, like a month ago booing and whistling and stuff was Gods gift to football.

Do feel a bit for Ronaldo, sad way for an all time great to exit the World Cup stage really.

I’d say the captain immediately sulking off to the dressing room leaving all his team mates on the pitch and ignoring all the fans is a pretty disgusting way to go. I’d always given him the benefit of the doubt up until these past few months and kind of liked him but i called it wrong.

Feels like they're going to go all Greece 2004. Fantastic stuff.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Won every game 1-0, every goal scored from a corner, something like that anyways

But very happy Morocco won, fantastic team performance.

Great player, one of the best in the history of the game.

Also, a massive bellend.

Yet Messi is rejoiced about? Why?

Messi highlighted yesterday and has done throughout his career he isn’t this great humanitarian that people seem to think he is, double standards from some.

Messi hardly cheats in comparison. He's known as a far more fair player. Ronaldo is just nasty with it as well

Messi hardly cheats in comparison to anyone - let alone Ronaldo.

I bet he will hate being out shone by Messi at this tournament.

Morocco are better than that Greece team though. They have more goals in them for starters. They're always a threat on the break, and but for tired legs often messing up their finishing, they could easily beat teams by a few goals, just like they already did to Belgium.

Have to agree, I've always liked him but the last 6 months the worst of him has shown up. Sad really. I hope he finsihes his career in Portugal, I have no hate for him (which seems excessive on here).

Made my World Cup so far seeing that selfish twat in tears down the tunnel while everybody else is still on the pitch

Absolutely this. What a prize cockwomble.

 

[Popeye]

Ronaldo has always been about himself and no one else. Will be glad when won't have to see or read about his dumbass anymore. One of the best ever? Sure. A complete, f***ing prick? Also sure.

 

[Zeberdi]

Ever since the death of his baby Son in fact. It’s never pleasant to watch anyone with the talent he has, self-sabotage but that’s no excuse for behaving like a complete t@sser with everyone you work with - he’s always been a Prima Donna but he should have retired gracefully from high profile football months ago.

It is a sad end to a brilliant career.

 

[Weststander]

The irony of Fernandes complaining about cheating

The goofy-faced EPL cheat, forever in refs faces.

For that reason alone, it's great that Portugal are out.

I'll be honest. I struggle to recall how Greece won their matches now. I was thinking more it was a case of how nobody saw them coming at the start of the tournament and they went the whole way.

As mentioned who knows how the death of a child affects someone, so unlike the many haters on here I hope he can end his career in a better manner. Go home lad, play in Portugal again.

NSC at it's finest.

Complain endlessly about the constant mentioning and fawning over 'star' players like Messi and Ronaldo, then skim over an historic win for Morocco to talk about...... Messi and Ronaldo
