[WC 2022 QF #3] MOROCCO 1(El-Nesyri) PORTUGAL 0 FT MOROCCO IS THE 1ST AFRICAN TEAM TO ADVANCE TO THE WC SEMIFINALS!!!!

[Molue Conductor]

You need some luck in the WC, Maroc is getting it let’s go!

Recognise the hard work please!

Don't mind him this had very little to do with luck. Classic team work. All hands on deck. You create your "luck". Well done Morocco

If I were a Moroccan player, I wouldn’t mind being called lucky in the least. Go and ask the Brazilian players how they feel playing so well and not getting lucky. Nothing at all wrong with being lucky… and the irony is that in order to get lucky, you have to be very, very good


Cheers.

More correctly, in order for your luck to count, you have to be very good.

Morocco coach



Don't forget that you ONO loving nation of Nigeria

People dont realize how important a coach can be.

Yet, even after 6 years some people told us that we need to keep learning. Kaiiii! If you need to know how slavery and colonialism worked, just look at how one white man was able to convince Nigerians that we are inferior. OMG!!

Can we stop this nonsense please?


Coaches work hard for themselves.

If our coaches are not willing to be the best, on what basis do you appoint them?

I think you are mistaken me for someone else. I am not interested in the FC v IC debate. I doubt you'd be able to get a post from me engaging in that.

I am SOLELY interested in how in the 21st century, a white man was able to convince black people that they are inferior and they accepted it and championed their perceived inferiority. Thats how slavery and colonialism started.

As for FC v. IC, i'll leave that to you guys to fight it out. I am not interested.

That is not how colonialism or slavery started.

I know you are not part of that debate. Neither am I interested in it.

I'm just saying that the focus on use of FCs needs to be on a case by case basis.
There are god ones, then there are charlatans...

We need to focus on what ours are doing.

And most of them are not serious...

Bro, you still are mistaking me for someone else. I am not interested in the "focus or lack of focus on FCs" or whether they are analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

MY SOLE FOCUS HERE is how in this day and age a white man can successfully convince black people they they are inferior and they believed him. and championed him! thats all. Anything outside that no really concern me.

So Nigerians now like defensive football and tactical schemes that give the opponent almost 80% possession, wonderful


I guess this is the "free-flowing football" Amodu and Keshi (RIPP squared) did not play, abi?

Failure is an orphan sha... a bounce to the left, a slight breeze to the right and everything changes.

[panafrican]

Seeing Morocco yesterday do you guys think that Nigeria 1994 could have won the worldcup ?

I just want the team to play to its strength!

But you will not win a tournament with a sloppy defense including GK!

Anything you want to do, just do it well!

Possession is nothing if you cannot translate it to goals. You can use FRIENDLIES to entertain but at tournaments you have to go to WIN! Do whatever it will take to WIN

This is what some say about Croatia too...and it is irritating.



How IRONIC Croatia and Morocco from Group F are in the semifinals...both getting back handed compliments all along the journey. Nobody talking about this.

F*** em.

You guys are irritating, are you saying you don’t need some luck? Every single team has needed some luck to make it far and even win a WC, it didn’t start with Croatia and won’t end with Maroc, it’s been said about every winner. Get a hold of yourselves haba…

Man, every team needs some luck of course.

But others have pointed out this is one of many factors, to the point where it wasn't a big one.

You don't get this far on weighted luck.

I made so many other comments about how good this team is how hard working they have been and how they’ve been the better team and deserve the win…all facts, but an off comment that they are also getting the luck you need to go far is what you guys are focused on?

As with Airwolex, fair enough.

But put yourself in the shoes of a Croatia or Morocco fan...and why some take it a little personally when so many marketing minded pundits and casual fans keep claiming luck.

Choi! Now Landon Donovan just said Morocco are not a joy to watch on Fox!

That is exactly what they said about Croatia yesterday.

Landon Donovan can watch the Harlem Globetrotters for entertainment value if he wants while we watch winners take on each other

For me I want to see a new champion so go Morocco or Croatia but I sense some “interesting” refereeing decisions pending in the next two games

[akamoke]

I think Morocco has upped the game for African teams to which I say Thank you , just as I did to Tunisia 78, Morocco 86 and Cameroon 90.. all pacesetters

Oh it wouldn't surprise me. As I've brought up all this WC, it's easier now to get away with influencing a match with 1-2 biased calls, given the tight margins.

Back in the day it was more egregious, like calling penalties for fouls well outside the box.

Today it's going either way on a questionable penalty where even VAR is inconclusive.

But, I suppose this is where TXJ comes in and accuses us all of being wild conspiracy theories...daring too question sancosanct FIFA and the refs.



TXJ, I kid! I kid!

[airwolex]

I don't think the big teams have been helped by refs in this WC except for maybe the Portuguese pk given against Uruguay.

Argentina had two goals chalked off due to offside which honestly looked okay to the naked eye.

There was that Japanese goal that knocked out Germany.

The two legit penalties not given to Uruguay and even in the Brazil game there was a handball by a Croatian defender that could easily have been given.

I don't think the officiating has been great but I see no signs of favouritism.

[mate]

Air, all in all I agree with you.

Uruguay did get the shaft. That was a decisive margin call.

Butterfly effect. South Korea advanced over Uruguay and got whacked by a Brazil who maybe got complacent against Croatia?

The football gods work in mysterious ways.

I tell ya: there must be some super-sentience using quantum physics to make balls bounce a certain way to f*** with some teams in a key moment. Or to suggest to a ref: ah, just give that yellow or red card or penalty.

Yep. I don't like Uruguay much, but fair is fair, it was almost as if there was an agenda to get rid of them.

I loved that show. Such nostalgia.

I was converted a long time ago, I am just surprised by Nigeria's sudden love of defensive football.
As for me, I just want to see this Morocco system at the ANC against some team like Uganda using the longball, sledgehammer foreheads, and 70 minutes of possession. Or some Congolese guy who has already picked out the orange Versace suit with blue shiny shoes for the post-goal press conference trying to see how many players he can dribble before he is tripped in the 18. It will be interesting.
