U2 can see the reply later on BBC, with or without you.

Ah well you see football works in 'Mysterious Ways' but ultimately for Morocco it turned out to be a 'Beautiful Day' and the team will no doubt 'Sleep Like A Baby Tonight' even though the captain Romain Saiss will be intent on lifting the trophy and therefore claim 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' which just proves his 'Desire' because after all victory is 'The Sweetest Thing'. All that being said of course the whole squad will feel real 'Pride', be desperate to 'Stay' in the hope of achieving something 'Magnificent'.

I'll get my coat .

I have always felt that our defence frailties have been our biggest problem and keeping Mbappe quiet for 90 mins will be one serious tes of oiur defensilve abilities I think either Walker or Stones will have their work cut out with him - even if he did reportedly miss a French training session - i expect that was part of Deschamps plan to lull us into a false sense of security - I've not been aware of any injury Mbappe has.

Even I can't see Morrocco shocking Portugal I epect we'll come up aginst that winker Ronaldo in the semis - still haven't forgiven him for that.

the problem is if we spend the time thinking of Mbappe we will sit to deep. Might as well go for it and Attack lets cause them problems need to shut Greizman down as he seems to be the link pin

we have the better midfield use it if there was the like of Kante and poba in the side would be more worried

I wonder now if we have seen Ronaldo for the last time for Portugal. Whether we agree or disagree with Gary Neville or not, I do think he is finding it hard to accept his career is almost at an end, and really the petulance Is not helping. He should be able to retire with grace, but at the moment his attitude is stopping him from doing so. There is little doubt he is one of the all-time greats of the game, but he isn't acting like it. It's like he is going being dragged into retirement kicking and screaming and I only wish he would stop and think for five minutes about everything around him.

If Brazil lose this now are the media going to admit they are a bunch of Chokers that they would have said about any other team

Lol, Brazil are out.

Brazil deserve to lose. Underestimated Croatia at their peril

Let's hope we don't either if we beat France
