Following the strife in Belgium. Apparently Moroccan fans went on the rampage across French cities, in celebration of their win against Spain. Looting, burning, vandalising etc.
French policing and security authorities now looking at the the prospect of a France vs Morocco semi final if quarter finals fall that way. And what that could mean for civil strife. There is often a tense social dynamic between the North African diaspora in France and the French at the best of times. With so much in the way of politics and socio-cultural themes intertwining with a football match. It becomes about so much more than a simple sporting contest. If they act this way when they win, what would they do if they lost.....and lost to the French?

Don't worry PT, we Poms are happy to do the French a favour and beat them in the quarters so they don't have to perceive a potential semi final with Morocco.
crotia had one shot on target in 120 minutes and that was the deflected goal.
Netherlands v Argentina is proving to be a ripper. Never seen anything like that last Dutch goal.
Two Argentina players clash heads while go going for a header. There was no theatrics, or rolling on the ground in agony.
If it was a player from both sides they would’ve both gone down as if shot.……….just saying.

The Dutch dominated the 2nd half, favourites to win now for mine.
I said a few days ago, the Dutch were firming as a bit of a dark horse for me. If a team outside the absolute favourites could surprise, it could be them.
Flying under the radar a bit. Not a team with the same star power they may be used to. And had steadily improved as the tournament went on, rather than dominating from the beginning.
But have to get past Argentina first. Let’s wait and see.
Hooo damn. Bring out the popcorn, beer n party pies. Reckon the after match would be way more exciting than any soccer match could ever be.
Your hot takes on football are always entertaining, informative and never predictable.
Massive result by Croatia - sucked in Neymar et al. The incessant dancing and goal celebrations in the Korea game were insufferable.
Go Dutchies.... although wouldn't mind seeing Messi raise the trophy.
Are we still in it? Damn, I might have to go out n buy myself an orange T shirt just so I can annoy *smile* out of the Italian outlaws
That Messi penalty was pure zen. Bloke has ice running through his veins.
I would love the winner of Morroco v Portugal to win it - neither have won it.
In fact, as no African team has done it ever, I will put all my mental energy into the Atlas Lions to win it.
