There is no name Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting line-up, it seems that the choice to bench Ronaldo is the right choice for coach Fernando Santos. Portugal and Morocco both use a 4-3-3 formation, both of which will attack each other from the first minute. It's likely that Ronaldo will play in the second half, if Portugal are already ahead in the number of goals, but it seems impossible considering this is a decisive match to go to the semifinals.

I agree! Even that i am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo but Portugal team plays much better without him and without the stress of passing the ball to Ronaldo in each time he is free and he ruins everything. The coach did the right choice this time. Morocco is playing with the usual players and tactics i believe they are very strong in defense. Portugal will try to score quick and not gamble for penalties with such a great goalkeeper of Morocco May the strongest win and more important we all enjoy the match
Croatia did in-imaginable performance against Brazil. I supported Croatia to win the game because Brazil had been qualifying to play quarter final, semifinal, and finals so let the winning should turn around, or let it shift to another Countries. I am even supporting Morocco to win the Portugal match. Argentina escaped dead yesterday. Netherlands attacked them very well.
Croatia was counting on this, because not many teams are given to defeat Brazil in regular time. It always makes me sad when a team like Brazil has to leave the tournament long before the final, but Croatia showed their character and if they could beat such an opponent, then they deserve to even win the final...
The end of the match, extra time was spent in the attacks of Argentina, and in general the penalty shoot-out is not for the Netherlands, while Argentina very often comes out victorious there.
The vision and road us clearly seen for those who go pass this current level.
The game between Argentina and Croatia will be a crunch tie, it will be a difficult game especially for Argentina, they find it difficult in the final stage like this.
Croatia has work to do with the attack, yesterday they just had one shot on target which lead to goal, they have kept good defending strategy this World Cup. Brazil had enough shot on target but couldn't get one in complete fulltime
When you play against a team as strong as Brazil, of course you have to play very well in defense to win, but I would disagree with some opinions that Croatia just defended the whole game and won only thanks to luck.
Croatia had a clear game plan, the Croatian midfield held the ball and Croatia had possession for most of the game.
Nobody managed to do that against Brazil except Croatia.
It's true that Croatia does not have outstanding strikers like Brazil, but they still came back in the match and scored a goal, which shows the enormous mental strength of the Croatian national team.
No one is a favorite against Croatia, and Croatia can now go all the way and become the world champion.

And the match will take place in just a few minutes. But it feels sad not to see players like Ronaldo in the starting XI. Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player. If he was in the team, the Portugal team would definitely have more advantages. I highly doubt that Goncalo Ramos will be as effective today as he was in the last match. At 21, Ramos is still young. I don't think he can play as well today as he did in the last match. However, if Goncalo Ramos plays well, the Portugal team can easily win today as in the previous match. And if Ramos plays well today, Ronaldo will not get a place in the Portugal squad in the next match.

In this Croatia vs Brazil match we enjoyed a different game. I didn't expect Brazil to lose the match till the last. Croatia performed very well in the match. I didn't think that Croatia would win the match. I was dying to see Brazil win. But in the match, Brazil had more fans than Croatia. was in the match. Brazil lost the match because of the failure of their players. Brazil missed many chances which is why they lost.
Today's match, between Portugal vs morocco will be tough but it won't get to the penalty shoot, Portugal will defeat morocco. Portugal team is different from others, they have the best squad in this world cup and morocco can't match them
During this World Championship we have seen many surprises and Morocco was able to beat two of the strongest European teams (Belgium and Spain - penalty).
Ok, Portugal is the favorite and have shown that they are at high levels... but the fact remains that surprises can already happen, and matches are not played "on paper".
I think in this World Cup the relatively weak teams are using their defense department to bring the match to tie-breaker for winning against their strong opponents. And some this technique is working and specially If we see, the last few matches have reflected such events, especially in yesterday's match, Croatia used their defense department very well against Brazil and they got good feedback from it they are able to successfully take the match to tie-breaker then in penalty shotout they got their luck.

In today's Morocco vs Portugal match, both teams will turn out to be a very strong game. History will only wait for time to see although Portugal is ahead in terms of FIFA rankings but Morocco is strong in the 2022 World Cup. However, Morocco is showing a very good performance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and even today, Morocco has the best chance of defeating Portugal in this match. The Moroccan team has more defenders and resistance, which makes it very difficult to break through their defenders and score goals.
It's not wrong if someone gives an analysis Morocco will make another surprise in the quarter-finals against Portugal before the game starts. What we have to know is that Portugal's move will be a little easy against Morocco from an overall strategic perspective even though Morocco has a pretty good defensive style against Spain.Ronaldo looks like he will start the game again from the bench and for me it is a very sensible strategy to give other players the freedom to show their abilities.
We are really surprised by the unusual results, betting sites have already made a lot of profit, I guess. Yes, if Ronaldo against Messi in the final, it would be a spectacular match, but against Morocco which successfully winning against Spain before, is it possible Portugal will win today? Let's just hope they can get a win without a penalty shoot-out like yesterday's match, to be honest I don't like penalty tension.
After Spain was eliminated in a penalty, all other teams including Brazil and the Netherlands also had to be eliminated in a penalty shootout. The difference is that Spain was eliminated in the round of 16, while Brazil and the Netherlands were eliminated in the quarter-finals. So of course the next two matches between Portugal vs Morocco and England vs France are really difficult to predict. There is a possibility of the same scenario, but I don't expect it in Portugal vs Morocco.

England and France are almost equally powerful. On the other hand, although Portugal is stronger than Morocco, Morocco is very tactical. So I will refrain from betting on these two matches. My prediction of type is that France and Portugal will be able to qualify for the semi-finals.
You are right. If any mistakes are made by Portugal's players, they are likely to lose. Although Morocco's squad is not strong, the bonding between their players is very good. And so the Moroccan team should by no means be taken lightly. I would say all the teams in the quarter-finals are strong. Also, the infighting within Portugal's squad is now very visible. Portugal coach Fernando Santos did not include Ronaldo in his starting XI today. I don't understand why he kept an experienced player like Ronaldo on the bench. The match will start shortly. Let's see how the Portugal team performs.
After seeing many surprising results, I wouldn't be surprised if Croatia and Morocco meet in the final. In fact, if we see such a thing, we will experience a world cup that we will talk about for many years. Nobody could have predicted that these two teams would win so many matches, since our predictions surprise us, I started to think that Morocco could be the champion.
Let's see what Portugal can do tonight
Let's see what Portugal can do tonight
;Dhonestly this is so funny I had to laugh very hard after seeing this comment of yours. Last night I had that very thought but I laughed it out and told myself that I joke too much but I am surprised that I have seen someone else who has similar thoughts and I can say that there are two Jokers in the world myself and you. How can we think that Morocco are Crotia will play the final? They played a very defensive game where they tried to find an open space to attack, and this took a long time but they managed to do it, and I am guessing that they could do that again and again. They are a very good tournament team and did finals last time and could try to do the same thing again this year as well.

We are seeing many strange things in this World Cup. Before the World Cup, Belgium was favorites to become champions. But they were eliminated in the group stage. Favorite teams like Germany, Brazil, Spain have been eliminated. And so I will not be surprised if Portugal is eliminated in today's match. Portugal is undoubtedly stronger than Morocco. But if they make any mistake on the field then they are likely to lose. Portugal's players will have to perform very carefully for the full 90 minutes.
Well, will Morocco's defense be able to withstand today, or will Portugal repeat their previous success and show how football should be played? Morocco managed to achieve a very good result at this World Cup, but enough unexpected surprises, it's time to win with the favorites. I'm a little surprised why the odds for Portugal's win are 1.76? I expect that Portugal will win today, the reliable defense of Morocco should fail. I wonder if Ronaldo will play in the starting lineup, or will he start the match again on the bench?
based on the portugal line-up report, cristiano ronaldo is back on the bench, i believe santos prepared ronaldo in the semi-final match (if portugal manages to win over morocco). Morocco has an extraordinary defense and also their goalkeeper (bono) has conceded the fewest goals so far, i saw Portugal's narrow victory in this match but with a very big struggle.

it can happen, in the game of football nothing is impossible, and morocco could have knocked out portugal today, and morocco would be the first african team to reach the semifinals,
It was really a tough game for Brazil and Croatia. The match was running at a fairly high tempo, even the two teams also did not hesitate to commit fouls in order to destroy their opponent's attacks. In my opinion, Brazil looks slightly better than Croatia but Croatia has a good mentality and confidence which they were able to equalize when they fell behind Brazil and in the end, they were able to win the game in the penalty shootout.
I think few people thought that it was Croatia that ended up going through to the semi-finals because Brazil does look more convincing than Croatia. But this is football, where there is often a surprise and anything can happen.
Yes, unfortunately! Most of the time you have to take advantage of your opponent's failure in order to have an advantage or even win the game. That's what happened with Croatia vs Brazil...I think few people thought that it was Croatia that ended up going through to the semi-finals because Brazil does look more convincing than Croatia. But this is football, where there is often a surprise and anything can happen.
The Brazilian team lost the psychological/mentality and the Croatians took advantage of it!

Against the likes of Croatia, a strong Brazil team was eliminated. Morocco beat Spain. From this it is easy to understand that strong match strategy is more important than good performance or strong squad in this World Cup. The success of Morocco and Croatia is due to their coach's excellent match strategy. And so it is very difficult to predict which two teams will qualify for the semi-finals in today's match.
