I threw a tiny bet on Morocco to qualify at +350 after watchinng them completely stifle Portugal's attack last round, their defensive shape was just too compact to break down and I can see a similar low scoring grind happening here.
I remember skipping a family dinner to watch that last final and everyone thought I was insane until the match went to pens haha. Think the history angle is fun but honestly Im not sure if either squad has that same knockout grit this time around.
For me its Drogba every time, that header in the 2012 CL final was pure willpower and I remmeber the odds were stupidly against Chelsea. Guy just reufsed to lose on the biggest stage.
Messi dropping deeper to orchestrate the attack feels way more dangerous now than relying on him to be the finisher, especially with how teams will pack the box. I think his passing vision unlocks things that even a perfectly timed run couldn't.
Otawa all day. i remember going to a sens leafs game like 15 years ago and some dude in a leafs jersey spilled his entire beer on me by accident lmao. never forgave them for that.
