And Pepe just scored a great goal with a brilliant header from an equally good cross. That makes Portugal ahead by 2 goals to nil and we are still in the first half.  It would be kinda hard to bounce back from this as Portugal equally seem intent on winning this game. It would be a bit difficult but I think if Switzerland could only score a goal before half time, then there is a slight possibility of them going in to a draw and perhaps into penalties.
Still, It seems like it would end 2 nil in favor of Portugal for the half time cause the match would most likely go into half time with the scores still 2 nil.
portugal has dominated the game most of the time.
They played well even without Ronaldo - I think they have started practicing how would they be able to survive without the great legend ROnaldo

After this shameful defeat to Morocco, I believed that the defeat to Japan was real and not rigged to avoid a meeting with Croatia. But this result is doubly fairer and more pleasant if Spain lost to Japan on purpose and now flies out after losing to a "lighter" opponent. Portugal and Switzerland will be extremely motivated by today's result as Morocco is still a more pleasant opponent than Brazil or something like that.
From this result it really made a surprise and of course new history for Morocco for the World Cup this time because indeed they were able to make it this far.
But for Spain this was really bad, from the start of the game I didn't really like their game which was only in the middle of the field and 3 failed Penalty attempts were clearly a little disappointing. I forgot about my bet because indeed in this case I was more disappointed from their game than the odds that I bet.
So many nations are happy on the win of Morocco esp - muslim countries
Never in the history a muslim country hosted a football event and never they are unable to win the world cup - they are all praying for Morocco to win the world cup - which is impossible but good thing for Morocco they came so far

I think Portugal 2 - Swiss 1 and Portugal will be winner.
I wait for Portugal match because Ronaldo is my Favourite - and today he is starting at bench - why why why!
I don't understand the strategy of the Portuguese coach because Ronaldo was not added to the main players list, so I'm very disappointed because the round of 16 must win the game to advance to the semi-finals, I hope the coach has to add Ronaldo soon because he has to take advantage of time to win this round so it's easy get a ticket to the quarter-finals. (update: Portugal has won 1 goal).
The initial possibility is to minimize so that they can remain stable in the first half and the second half later.
I think this is also meant to give more experience to the young Portuguese but with 1 goal now it looks like they have started to play very well and it is likely he will be used later in the second half even though this is quite a surprise.
I think now they are starting to break free a little but on the other hand we still can't be sure of this especially considering the current conditions it seems that Switzerland will start to heat up and try to catch up.
But Portugal team is playing well without Ronaldo when Ronaldo the match is about Ronaldo and all eyes are on Ronaldo all the time
But today it's about all the player. Although Ronaldo is super star. But the life goes on!

Ronaldo may not be needed much for this game and it should be an opportunity for other players who are given a chance. Ronaldo looked fit to play but the coach didn't play him and maybe gave him a chance in the second half. But without Ronaldo, Portugal's game was also very good and now they managed to score one goal through Ramos.

I don't think Portugal will really be in trouble for this game because Switzerland is playing open. This match is much more exciting to watch than the previous Morocco vs Spain match. Switzerland looks like they could score too, so I hope Portugal don't underestimate them.

In any case, we get nice quarter-finals in most cases. Morocco Portugal would be the least, but what about Argentina - Netherlands and England - France? Those are high quality games. Everyone thinks Argentina is the favorite with Brazil, but Argentina and Brazil could both go out in the quarterfinals. Croatia and the Netherlands are both very strong opponents and have 2 great midfielders in the form of Frenkie de Jong and Modric. Ronaldo is starting on the bench tonight.
why is Ronaldo not playing today? Are they saving him for the quarterfinal or will he be joining the game later in second half?
This is very important match for Portugal - why is Ronaldo not in the field

Yes, I also wonder why Ronaldo is not on the line up, some local media say this is related to the incident in the last match when he was replaced in the 65th minute
But I'm not too sure that's the main reason I suspect the coach is preparing in the second half or I mean they don't want to repeat the same mistake when defeated by Korea
Besides, Portugal still has other players who can replace Ronaldo with almost the same ability let's just look at it first.
Ronaldo is not happy sitting at the bench - thank you for replying to my question too.
Much appreciated - Portugal even scored the first goal without Ronaldo - the life goes on so does the match

there may well be surprises in both games today, with the supposed underdogs (morocco and switzerland) winning.
in these games now only the daily form counts and if spain and portugal can not develop their own game/tactic/strategy, then so much is possible

The surprising thing happened in the Morocco match against Spain where the two teams drew until 90 minutes and ended in a penalty shootout, unfortunately Spain had to accept defeat thanks to the stunning performance of the Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou who read all the shots from the Spanish players. With this, Morocco managed to secure a ticket to the quarter finals, just waiting for the results of the next match between Portugal and Switzerland, whoever wins will meet Morocco in the quarter finals later.

and no matter who wins the game portugal vs. switzerland, morocco will also have its chances against this opponent in the quarterfinals and perhaps continue to live their dream of a thousand and one nights Smiley

I think this has something to do with the incident during Portugal vs South Korea. at that time CR will be replaced in the second half. and CR's expression has been in the spotlight then. and many misunderstood CR's expression, including the coach. even though at that time CR was annoyed with Korean players who told CR to get off the field quickly when he was replaced. but I'm sure CR will play in this match either in the second half or at the end of the first half. Let's wait and see. you can read about this here www.standard.co.uk .
there it was explained why CR was not played as a starter. but you should read other news about the problem in other sources. because the source doesn't explain what actually happened to CR.

The has been finished and Morocco's won the match  by 3-0 .  With this, they qualified for the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup for the first time. As I thought it was exactly the opposite on the field. I feel sad for Spain because they played well in field and now in penalties just because of the failure of their goal keeper and their striker they lossed the match . But I also congratulate to Morocco team and specially to Yassime Bounou(Morocco' goal keeper) because they won this match just because of him .

I don't feel sad, I feel angry. For me it's not enough that they played decently, I wouldn't say well. This is a dreadful ridiculousness that comes on top of the defeat against Japan.  If we start analysing there are many things that have gone wrong, like the fact that there wasn't a single Madrid player on the pitch. A game like this should have been won 4-0 and the bookmakers were giving Spain the edge because we were favourite.

Luis Enrique has to resign today. And if not, he has to be sacked.




I had bet on Spain to win but I was with seriously doubt, they played poorly just like their last two previous matches. Morocco had many chances to kill the game off at regular time.

Enrique should be blamed he made worthless substitutions. For God sake isn't it clear enough that players shouldn't be brought just for penalties. Why was Busquet on penalty duties, he hasn't been that regular in his entire career on spot kicks.

Morocco proved that they are a team full with confidence and they showed that today. It was an ice cold penalty from Ashraf Hakimi

Seriously they take penalties as a joke. Can someone explain to me why Spain tried such a frivolous penalty? It's as if the men were eliminated from the tournament on purpose.
Morocco defended very well throughout the match. When it came to penalties, it was more or less clear that Morocco would advance. Especially after the first penalty shootout, the wind blew in their favor.
Although I feel sorry for Spain, if they are taking penalties this bad, they deserved to be eliminated. I'm happy for Morocco because their captain Romain Saïss deserves it, he's a great defender and should be in top eleven of the tournament.
Morocco won because they had great goalkeeper and the luck was sitting on the Moroccan bench.
HeartBreak for the Spain - they will never forget this defeat.

Morocco really suprised everyone today...
The game winner was the Moroccan goal keeper, his confidence was very intimidating to the Spanish players who could not just find a way through him in the penalties. Spain started the competition scoring a lot of goals in their first game, they were lucky to have qualified for the knock out stage and would have entered that game with the confidence that they were going to win, but Morocco knew the challenge and knew exactly how to tackle it, and it has won them the game. Switzerland are capable of causing problems to Portugal as well.

Yassine Bounou didn't allowed Spain to score a single goal in today's match, as Spain end there worldcup journey without scoring a single goal in there last match. Morocco also got some open goal chances but they fail to convert any one of that.
Can we have another surprise in second game between Portugal and Switzerland?

Morocco really suprised everyone today, I don't believe Morocco could win Spain, Morroco just made Africans proud, their defense was kind of strong which was difficult for spain to penetrate, Morocco played above my expectation today, I was expecting Spain to win with a wide goal margin but unfortunately for spain they couldn't score any goal in the match, they couldn't even score even one penalty, they should be ashamed of themselves for that. Kudos to Yassine Bounou he was able to safe three penalties, his performance was very impressive. Morroco will be facing any country that win between Portugal and Switzerland in quarter final.
Big surprise and now another can happen. Switzerland has a good chance, this would be the biggest success for Switzerland since there history. Ronaldo is not playing ok at the beginning, there maybe problems, which nobody wants to talk. Embolo is the Swiss hope today and I think there will be 2-3 goals.
I think Portugal 2 - Swiss 1 and Portugal will be winner.

Unbelievable Morocco wins with penalties phase against Spain i always said we are going to see many surprises in this world cup I’m very proud of Morocco. Yassine Bounou just as Livakovitc yesterday managed to catch three penalties and lead his team to win the penalties and to qualify once again
Now Morocco will face the winner of tonight match between Portugal against Switzerland

A hero for Morocco is Yassine Bounou, he is a very smiling goalkeeper but behind it all he has unexpected greatness.
and saving three penalties in a row is very rare and he was able to do it and without too much expression of pleasure when he saved a penalty, Morocco apart from having a great goalkeeper they are a solid team especially in defense and when Spain attacked they flocked in the penalty area to defend the goal and make it difficult for Spain to score goals.
