I remember I actually put a small bet on Morocco to win in regular time during the Spain game back in 2022 because their shape was just that solid, so if they pulled this off now I wouldn't even call it a pure shock anymore. At this point calling them underdogs feels lazy, they've arrived.

i still remember france knocked out brazil in 2006 and my dad didnt speak to me for the rest of the night lmao

Just stack penalties onto him

I'll take the chip riffling over card shuffles any day, something about that clacky plastic chaos keeps me in the zone way more than a deck being bridged.

I find them weirdy relaxing until the multiplier climbs too fast and my heart starts pounding. The rush is the whole point though, even if I always cash out way too early.

I watched a Real Sociedad match last season where their passing sequeences completely picked apart the opponent’s press, yet nobody outside Spain ever mentions Imanol Alguacil. His work with homegrown talent and keeping them competitive in Europe on a tight budget is low key remarkable.

yep diop has his hands full today, the midfield battle will decide everything honestly. i think morocco might frustrate them for a while but france just has that extra gear when it matters.

Watching a goalkeeper stand alone on the line knowing the whole outcome rests on a single save really shows how brutal that test of nerves is. It feels like the entire match gets compressed into that one tense second.

honestly a clean sheet is all I want, the rest is bonus

Morocco looks solid as a wall but I still lean toward France because they seem to create danger even when they aren't playing at their best, that sort of quiet edge just wins tight games.
