6 out of 6 quarter finals have gone for the favourites so far. It'd be a massive upset for Nathan and his lads to beat a technically brilliant but sometimes over elaborate Spain.

I predict penalties to decide this, with Spain probably victorious. Don't know what Morocco are like on spot kicks

There is history between the two countries, and many Moroccans live in Spain. There might be a bit more than football at stake this afternoon. I really hope Morocco will make it.

I can see Spain and their over-elaborate attacking play struggling to break down this Moroccan defence. I have a feeling this could go to a penalty shootout.

Weird that Luis Enrique still favours those 3 as his forwards as well as chopping and changing RB every game. I think this will be a big big test for them

Interesting that Nathan is playing as a right sided CB. Makes it easier where we deploy him in a couple of weeks.

Free header and Nathan misses the target! Dawson would have buried that one

Morocco so far showing how to defend against pass and move football. Two banks playing deep and not allowing any space behind.
Excellent tactics from them.
Our guy Aguerd is a great reader of the game and manages to stay calm.
Probably should have scored though.

Look at Nathan supervising that Moroccan backline facing that Spain free kick on the edge of their penalty area. Bloody superb

Who is the co commentator? They were just singing the praises of West Ham and suggesting players should come to us to develop :hamm:

EDIT Never mind, just realised it was good old Johnny Hartson
