Morocco vs France

[Abel blessing]

Morocco is yet to have a shot on target.

[wrenienne]

France looking comfy rn, Morocco needs to wake up or this is done.

[nylixund]

I remember betting on Morocco to score first in a group game once, lesson learned the hard way. They’ve got the crowd behind them but that final third decsion making is just absent today.

[thornosys]

Think they'll manage one before half time?

[Zyxosyth]

France is just too solid defensively tonight, feels like they can switch gears whenever they want. Morocco really needs to take a risk and throw more numbers forward because playing it safe is just handing France the win slowly.

[yukiayzyl]

Classic Morocco, always missing that final spark. So frustrating.

[xorrielle]

Are they still trying to build through the middle or has it mostly been hopeful crosses into the box?

[golfmaster11]

? france too comfy rn ngl, morocco gotta just start ripping shots or it's wraps bro ?

[thornva]

i threw a small satke on morocco over 0.5 shots on target back in their semi final run and it barely cashed in the 90th minute, they just dont test the keeper early on ever

[sandenne]

Reminds me of that Spain match years back where they went the whole first half without a single attempt and then scored twice right after the break, football is weird like that.

[Lyraenesse]

Looks like the ol WC semi nerves again, felt that way watching them against Portugal too

[NutsLagGaye]

France

[strikearium2]

Honestly thought Morocco would at least nick a few desperate shots by now but France is just smothering tehm completely. This feels less like nerves and more like a quality gap showing on the pitch.

[gauzetos]

Morocco not managing a single shot on target so far is exactly the kind of stat that flips completely in the second half when they throw everything forward. I can see them suddenly stringing together a few chaotic chances out of nowhere just to make it interesting.

[Sandra2]

do you think they even get close in the second half or is this just a shutout waiting to happen

[Tyxionda]

Same thing happened to Croatia in the 2018 final til they randomly banged one in from nowhere

[Vyxva]

They really haven't even come close and it's surprising because their build up play in earlier matches looked way sharper than this. Feels like the French midfield just isn't letting them get any clean looks at Lloris at all.

[Ashraast07]

That stat would sting less if teir passing wasn't so panicked too.

[ivoryraund]

I saw the same pattern when Belgium faced France in 2018, total control until the last ten minutes then suddenly three wild shots out of nowhere
