Peps an awful character on the pitch (supposedly held in very high regard behind the scenes)

At 40 years of age, this is his FIFTH World Cup - incredible achievement to still be playing at this level.

I think Morocco are modelled on 2019/20 West Ham. Heroic defensive resilience coupled with lightning rapid skilful counter attacks

Not seen the full game, but I like this ref. Not letting Portugal officiate the match.
