And I hadn't even finished typing praise for Croatia's goal when Morocco countered with a header of their own!

It's nice to see a more offensively assertive Croatia.

Yeah that's a biiiit aggressive towards the ref by the corralling Moroccan players.

I get it, every play and call is a precious opportunity, but you have to keep your head in it.

Morocco is fantastic national team with a bright future. But they seriously need to learn how to value situations. That 2-1 goal they conceded had no business happening. You cant start dribbling just outside your own penalty box. It was idiotic and if i was a manager i'd be fuming over it. Basically lost the game because of it. Unnacceptable.

Not sure what Morocco is so steamed at the ref about. VAR also confirmed everything he called.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.
