While the country’s English name is Morocco, the country is known as Maroc in French

I suspected as much, but then we get into why Germany is GER rather than DEU for instance, as I said its a small thing but it caught my eye.

What a chance for Maroc. Golden.

I wonder how angry Los Pueblo End gets about passing it around with no particularly intent and keeping the ball for the sake of it?

The Moroccans are going nuts in the hotel. Infact they’re going nuts out in the street and nuttier on the roads, never seen anything like it, seriously.

And over in the other game, the Portugal coach has dropped eight players including that one. Ballsy.

Ironically Spain bring on players to take penalties (as England did in the Euros final) and they missed.

The Swiss were my dark horse outside bet for this tournament. I fancy them to turn Portugal over.
