Spain was NOT bad at penalties. Give credit to the Moroccan keeper. He failed to commit himself. He was calm and composed.

I'll say it again: Group F for me was the toughest.

Morocco and Croatia fought each other to a standstill.

Croatia beat Japan from the 2nd toughest group.

Morocco beat Spain from the 2nd toughest group.

Both teams are not as big underdogs as some might think going forward...minding that Croatia do have Brazil next.

They were African all tournament long until they reached the QF and have been converted to Arab by commentators as expected due to this being an Arab World Cup :mrgreen:

They are not bottlers though. They are a mid-team. They lost against Japan and Morocco and drew against Germany.
Not to diminish the work and effort of Morocco here but it seems we have all forgotten the history of Spain over the decades? Apart from 2008 - 2012, they have constantly failed to live up to expectations. I always wait for them to fail, it is almost set in stone.

The Moroccans picked their penalty takers in their huddle. Players just called out names and got the ok from the player while their coach went thru each finger on one hand... interesting. That way it's everyone's call.

Wonder whether those North African nations consider themselves more Arabian than African
They are both.

It is the other way around boss, they overachieved in 2008-2012, and this is their level.

That's characteristics of a TEAM. Everyone working towards the same goal. Resolute defending by everyone. A lot to learn from them. They played to their strength.

My bros, Bono knows all those Spanish players. :lol: He plays in La Liga for Sevilla. His entire decade-long career has been in La Liga, playing for five Spanish clubs. :biggrin: I am sure the penarity takers knew it, and it contributed to their inability to score. But yes, Bono is excellent. And most importantly, a team that depends on defending MUST practice penalty kicks rigorously. Which the evidence suggests the Moroccans did. :thumbs: :thumbs:
