Why wouldn't El Nesri be more prepared for a rebound for bicycle off the post.if he was on his toes would have had decent chance to score

Notice how two of the best players in the tournament are allowed to stay forward and stroll around and do no defensive duties (Mbappe and Messi) on the proviso that they deliver when they are on the ball, it allows them to get on the ball in good areas if they don't need to to the defensive side. Imagine Moyes doing that with Benrahma lol, you would need a better left back than Cresswell and midfield have to cover across when you lose possession.

usually route for the underdog and today's no different.

but truly I want to see what the networks and the commentators will do if Mbappe doesn't play against Messi.

you'll have to hide all of the sharp implements. they'll be gutted.

And Lloris doesn't seem to be relishing the thought of a physical encounter. He's punched the ball a few times when he didn't need to expecting he was going to get bumped. Morocco should get a body on him. That rick of his seems to be near the surface today.

I was thinking the same thing… bigging up the plucky underdogs but some of the media are licking their lips at the prospect of messi versus mbappe

VAR seemingly doesn't check when a superstar slides in late on the keeper with his studs up?

Amrabat's had a cracking tournament.

Gotta be catching the eye of any club needing to replace their main DM soon, you'd think.
