thorness Posted July 9 #3 Posted July 9 Doubt it'll go that far tbh, France looks too strong to let it slip to pens
Phaneon Posted July 9 #4 Posted July 9 Doubt it reaches pens, France will probably close it out in regular time. Morocco's defense is solid but they can't hold forever.
wineique Posted July 9 #5 Posted July 9 France usually finds a way to score in normal time, so no pens for this one. Morocco's been impressive but their luck might run out here.
Noron Posted July 9 #6 Posted July 9 Morocco’s defense has been rock solid all tournament, if they can keep it tight until the 80th minute who knows what happens
ladyen51 Posted July 9 #7 Posted July 9 Morocco's parked the bus perfectly all tournament, but France has too many ways to break it down. Gonna say 2-0 in regular time.
ravendra Posted July 9 #8 Posted July 9 Morocco's defense is no joke but France just has that extra gear when it matters, can't see it going all the way to pens honestly
dinai35 Posted July 10 #9 Posted July 10 I wouldn't rule out pens so fast, Morocco has literally only conceded one goal this whole tournament and that was an own goal. France might dominate possession but if the score is still 0 0 with 15 minutes left the pressure shifts entirely onto them.
morthayvar79 Posted July 10 #10 Posted July 10 I remember watching the 2006 final and thinking it would never reach penalties, yet it did.
gladeynienne Posted July 10 #11 Posted July 10 Honestly I keep thinking about how Morocco hasn't even conceded a proper goal from open play yet, just that one own goal, so penalties actually feel way more likely than people think.
luxalyn9 Posted July 10 #13 Posted July 10 Everyone sleeping on Morocco's defensive wall but france will still manage a scrappy goal in the 70th or so, cant see it goin to pens with mbappe constantly pressuring their line
frostarki8 Posted July 10 #14 Posted July 10 once watched a knockout game where everyone swore itd end in penalties but then a random header in the 89th minute broke all our hearts, so i never trust predictions anymore lol
clotrivi Posted July 10 #15 Posted July 10 I think Frane will crack them in regular time, Morocco has been solid but they haven't faced a front three this clinical yet.
yukiixna Posted July 10 #16 Posted July 10 honestly i think it might, both teams look pretty cagey in knockout stages so far... but do you think france would risk it or push hard in extra time?
pyxlia Posted July 10 #17 Posted July 10 I dunno man, everyone keeps saying Morocco's defense is unbreakable but France brkoe through England's backline pretty easily, so I think they'll snag one late in the second half and avoid pens altogether
auroraenva Posted July 10 #18 Posted July 10 tbh i feel like france gets it done in the 85th minute or so, morocco's backline has bene unreal but mbappe keeps finding those tiny gaps and i just cant picture them holding out for 120 mins with that pressure. still if it does go to pens bono might just pull another madrid level miracle lol
gauzeki Posted July 11 #19 Posted July 11 People forget how shaky France can be under real pressure. I'd keep an eye on how early Griezmann tracks back to cover, if hes gassed by minute 60 then a cagey shootout feels more likely.
aurorawyn Posted July 11 #20 Posted July 11 Nah France might actually wrap it up before extra time, their bench depth is crazy compared to Morocco's tired legs.
Buyvalo Posted July 11 #22 Posted July 11 France will probly push harder than people expect, but I've seen enough knockout games where that just makes both sides rereat into their shells. Pens wouldn't shock me at all.
woonyntha Posted July 11 #23 Posted July 11 if you think it's going to pens have a small bet on the draw in regular time, the odds are way better than just betting on who advances and it covers both a 1 1 cagefest and a 0 0 slog. france will probably find a goal late but morocco's shape has been too disciplined to fully write them off.
syliound44 Posted July 11 #24 Posted July 11 dont sleep on morocco's keeper in a shootout, he's been massive this tourney so if youre betting on france to advance just take them in 90 mins to avoid that dice roll
Gladeoresse Posted July 12 #25 Posted July 12 Watch France’s subs around minute 70, if they bring on Coman and Thuram early it’s a sign thhey want it done before extras, otherwise pens look dicy
