Morocco are doing what they should and pouring forward but it feels like a deadly French counter could happen soon. They are lucky that Giroud shot hit the post or you'd think this would done

What a play! Mbappe just couldnt hit the target and Giroud just misses.

That was Mbappe at full speed. Cant let that happen...

Well that's why the early goal was so crucial for France, now they can sit back and play to counter and force Morocco to come at them. Although it should probably already be 3-0 France so maybe they'll regret not scoring those goals.

Yeah, because France can have a tendency to get a little too casual, a little too slow and make a mistake.

I'd be charging Hernandez's side over and over again, he's liable to do something stupid.

Morocco already completed more passes in 40 minutes tonight than they did in 90 against Portugal.

I have a feeling Morocco will squeeze one in before 90 minutes.

The question is that if France can score another...

Thought Morocco were very lucky to get through the first 35 not down by 2 or more and with another yellow card or two but that last 10 was the most positive football I've seen them play all tournament and easily could have levelled it.

Love how this second half is set up.

I get why France are fine to sit back and invite pressure, all it's gonna take is one ball to get Mbappe away, but at some point they'll need to start trying take control of this game again. Because if Morocco do level it'll be full bus mode from them and that'll be difficult to breach.

Maybe a bit ugly, but seeing the French rolling around on the pitch warms my heart a little
