The seventh last 16 match sees Group F winners Morocco in their second appearance at the knockout stages against the Group E runner-up Spain at the Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan.

 

How do we see this one going?

Last Three Meetings (Only met 3 times)

 

25/06/2018- Spain 2-2 Morocco (World Cup)

23/11/1961- Spain 3-2 Morocco (World Cup Play-Off)

12/11/1961- Morocco 0-1 Spain (World Cup Play-Off)

I can see Morocco springing a surprise here, Spain have dropped off massively since that first match against Costa Rica.

I think Morocco will go through.

Morocco: Bounou, Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui, Ounahi, Amrabat, Amallah, Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal. Subs: Hamdallah, Zaroury, Sabiri, Mohamedi, Chair, Aboukhlal, Ezzalzouli, El Yamiq, Dari, Cheddira, Tagnaouti, El Khannous, Benoun,

Attiyat Allah, Jabrane.

 

Spain: Simon, Llorente, Rodri, Laporte, Jordi Alba, Gavi, Busquets, Gonzalez, Ferran Torres, Asensio, Olmo. Subs: Sanchez, Azpilicueta, Garcia, Pau Torres, Morata, Koke, Williams, Raya, Balde, Guillamon, Pino, Carlos Soler, Carvajal, Sarabia, Fati.

Good idea to test Simon from distance, he looked shaky in previous matches

Spain should try finishing sometimes.

Morocco are getting quality chances off these crosses.

Spain should try finishing sometimes.

 

Spain really used up their goal quota for the tournament on the first match.

The Spanish player who scored the most goals for Spain is on the beach

 

:drama:

 

I've no idea why Enrique persists with Asensio either.

We get it Spain, you can pass sideways and backwards. How about forward now

Five minutes of added time left for someone to win in match in normal time.

It will be extra time then for Morocco and Spain.

Bore draw in 90 minutes, and 30 more minutes to come in extra time.

How can Spain be doing so badly?! Fallen giant, and after the Simpsons predicted a Spain vs Brasil final, with Brasil winnin!!!

Morocco wold have been a great host nation, they really gave it all in this match. I believe Morocco was one of the teams that nominated to host for 2022

Oh my, I need to watch the re-play when I get home, but Spain have missed their first three!!?!?!!?

Well... Morocco could be the dark horses of 2022 :lol: beating Spain

So Spain are even worse at penalties than Japan.
