Why is Boufal being replaced? I thought he has been a thorn in Spain's flesh.

TheSuperNerd:
Completed the most dribbles in the game (6), won the most ground duels in the game (12).

Made 3 tackles as well.. all in 66mins.

He has been good today and I am actually surprised he's been taken out early but Boufal's replacement on his day offers similar drive & threat but is young no doubt. I complained about his Final third decision making in the first round. Hope it gets a bit better today.

charlesemeka85:
Chelsea’s style of play doesn’t suit him at all

He is among the players I want in united. He plays better when coming from the right flank or as an AM

Chelsea mostly use him as a wing back

All dis one wey we just Dey suggest coaches up and Dan ,shey dem wan sack paisero?

TheGoodJoe:
Morocco is playing a beautiful variant of Tiki taka. Boy the footworks of their goalkeeper is insane.

Morocco winning is a big props for tiki taka.

theophilusj31:
I don't get the hype about this Spain tiki taka or whatever it called,all I see is aimless passing

daveP:
Cant believe some of you on this thread tried to create excuses for this Spanish team and their aimless passing of the ball, just for the sake of it. I still stand by my earlier submission, this style will fade out before Mbappe turns 30. Watch it!!



Loving the fact that Morocco sabi them and their individual weaknesses.

Mujtahida:
Chai. You are seeing what you want to see. Morocco is playing football. Not tiki taka or any of its variations.

daveP:
One day, Tiki whatever will be classified under Haram football.

charlesemeka85:
aimless, slow and boring

Aguerd is out, as much as I would hate this, I think Ziyech is tired. He probably needs to be replaced. Hakimi na real turbo-machine!!!!! He has lungs of steel.

TheGoodJoe:
What you are missing is that Spain are masters of starving you from keeping the ball. If not, Morocco is showing great quality on the ball. When they are with the ball, they keep it quite well while transitioning to attack. So, their style has a lot to do with keeping the ball well.

Mujtahida:
The bolded is precisely one of the reasons I detest tiki taka. It makes no sense for me to sit down to watch a game where only one team knocks the ball around. Even the great Brazilian teams of Pele and Zico allowed the opponent to have some share of possession.

That's not football. It's tiki taka. I consider it an abomination, a blight on the beautiful game that two teams line up to play and the strategy of one team is to totally deny the other team of the ball. It's like a child who will not share his toys when his mates come to play with him.

It's a shame that the Spanish - a nation I very much like - would stoop so low as to espouse this crudity called tiki taka.

AndSunGorilla:
I like your analogy of the boy with his toys and his friends. This case, the boys Spain are not playing with friends but "enemies" at least during the course of the game.

fabyom:
If it gets to penalties, Morocco will win. Their goalkeeper looks more self assured.

Mujtahida:
It's not an analogy that squares on all fours with the reality of football but the point I'm making is that a game is only enjoyable when the ball is played between two opposing teams.

AndSunGorilla:
I think Spain will win if it gets to penalties. But I will cry o.
What a chance missed by Morocco!!!!
